Oatmeal, serving suggestions

[Bird]

You guys have convinced me that I should get back to eating oatmeal and the like. I always like it but just got out of the habit.

I bought a box of 40 packets of Quaker's Maple & Brown Sugar instant oatmeal today at Sam's Club.:laughing:

That ought to spike your blood sugar.

Don't you need a little something to get started in the morning?:laughing: But I don't put any sugar or crèam in my coffee, so doesn't that balance out?:laughing:

I get my Quaker Old Fashion Oats from Costco in the 8 pound box. It's half price of what I would have to pay at the local store. Along with breakfast, cookies and other foods it will last about 4-6 weeks.

Bird,
Fist comes 1. denial then comes 2. justification, congratulations you are on step 2. :thumbsupYou could do a lot worse for breakfast.)

Kind of reminds me of some of the people in line at SouperSalads. They start off with a perfect salad the they hit the condiments and load on the bacon bits and drown it in high fat dressing - justification for that choosing that healthy salad. :confused3:

How about some Frosted Slakes? Tony the Tiger says they are GGGGGRRRRREEEEEEEAAAATTTT!!
Or some Captain Crunch? Crunchy sugary cereal for sure.
All kidding aside, I used to eat both. Maybe that is why my teeth went into the can at age 25.
Captain Crunch I used to nibble on driving down the road, until I saw the light. Now I eat radishes.

I really like porridge (or oatmeal as some call it) but I would only eat it with a bit of milk and copious quantities of brown sugar. :licking: I had to give it up when I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes. :sigh:

Never tried Captain Crunch, but only recently discovered Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and that's really tasty!

I ate that as a kid or swimming in maple syrup! Now I am older, no wiser but older and try to stay away from diabetes which is a deal breaker for me. No more Class A/CDL license with diabetes.

Just got an e-mail from Forks over Knives and it had an easy recipe for oatmeal with picture. Note: maple syrup is optional for those in the transitional stage.

With the Holidays coming up and lots of high fat meals being eating this is boom time for the hospitals who will get lots of complaints of chest pains. Just remember, those with heart disease, the prime time for the pain to start is four and a half hours after eating a high fat meal. This goes for Plant and Animal fat.

If this does not apply to you, it might be useful information for the relatives you are dining with, especially if they are still at your house 4 1/2 after the meal.

Looks like TBN is really an oatmeal-loving crowd! Bet Quebota didn't really expect over 70 responses to a thread about oatmeal?!?

I like to mix mine up myself. 1 min type. No pre processed conglomeration. Cinnamon is a must. Peaches or the old stand by raisins. A few walnuts are good too.
Ps.. Steel cut oats are like eating wood shavings.

LOL. And how would you know that? LOL.

Never liked Cream of Wheat.

Grits on the other hand! :licking::licking::licking:

Girts with just some butter, salt and pepper. :thumbsup: :licking:
Grits with butter, salt, pepper, and 2-4 sorta runny eggs mixed into the grits. :thumbsup::thumbsup: :licking:

I can only eat this though when it is cold outside. Just heats you up too much which is good in winter but not in summer.

Later,

I've ate a lot of wood chips when cutting wood

Whats grits?, I asked many years ago. The answer was, grits is good!
Now I eat them whenever I get the chance. I heard that all the grits that Quaker puts out come from Peterborough, ON and yet I can't buy them up here.
