I'm challenging myself to eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning this month. I do like the rolled, whole oats, you might as well eat something that burns more calories while digesting (I fact checked this on google...ahahaha).
I love to create different varieties, not just plain oats. You know like those little bags from Quaker - only more natural and/or organic. Some of my favorite ways to eat oatmeal is by adding dry fruit. We like to go to natural bulk food stores, where we will stock up on a variety of dried things, including fruit. However, I have dehydrated my own here: Apples Rhubarb
Today, I made myself: rhubarb, almond, honey oats.
I usually measure out 1/2 C rolled oats, dried fruit, nuts and 1 teaspoon honey and pour boiling water over, just until covered. I also sprinkle in a bit of salt. Now before you say, "salt on oatmeal" or "you 'Ritchie's' salt everything" - I do like salt, but salt brings out sweet - it's true - well, that's my story anyway. Then I microwave for 30-45 seconds. Super easy!
Do you like oatmeal? What are your favorite flavor combinations?

LOL.... I always add a pinch of salt to any hot cereals I make. I should eat more of them, but don't for some reason. My favorites are cream of wheat and cream of rice (just like soups, I love the rich creamy stuff LOL). My oatmeal I like plain with milk....and a touch of sugar of course. But yours does look/sound good (hold the rhubarb though). ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteNow I want cream of wheat. We "had" to eat it as kids, but now I've grown to like it. The rhubarb, I dried - I was still picking strings out of the back of my teeth while flossing at bed time.
DeleteI like plain old Quaker oats with milk and brown sugar. I do like salt on watermelon. I do love rhubarb unlike Robin, but did not know it came in a dried form. I am lucky to find dried cherries in my small grocery store let alone rhubarb. Janice
ReplyDeleteI dried the rhubarb this past year, first time I've done that. My plants were huge this year. When I freeze it, I tend to not use it. I'm eating maple brown sugar right now.
