With soy milk. Sometimes with brown sugar and margerine. Sometimes with dates. Sometimes with strawberries and blueberries.
I like oatmeal (and cream of wheat, and Maypo), but I rarely bother to make them. If I make the plain oatmeal out of the Quaker Oats cardboard tube, I'll usually not add a thing to it. The rare times I do, it's sliced banana and cinnamon.
I like oatmeal with a bit of butter, sugar, a splash of cream, and berries (usually blueberries). My mother liked oatmeal with butter and salt; nothing sweet.
I like it with a bit of cinnamon, a pat of butter, a fourth of a cup of raisins, and a teaspoon of sugar or a pack of aspartame.
Nope. For us, it's either Lucky Charms, Frosted Flakes or Honey Nut Cherrios. If not cereal for me, it's link/patty sausage, eggs, a diced fried potato and toast. Now, if I lived in a really cold area, like Wisconsin, North Dakota, Alaska or Canada, Oatmeal would probably be the thing to eat for breakfast.
When I have oatmeal I like a good sized pat of butter I prefer a heavy cream but half & half will do. I like it sweet and the bestsweetnerfor oatmeal is sugar
We have oatmeal fairly often, especially in cold winter weather where I like something hot for breakfast. I have also tried rolled oats for making the “overnight oats”, and that is pretty good, too, and will probably be a better option for this summer. A while back, I got some of the steel cut oats (whole oats chopped up), and I think it has a much better flavor than the plain rolled oats. It is chewy and has almost a nutlike flavor. Very good. Some people eat it with vegetables like you might eat brown rice or bulgur wheat. Bobby has been talking about Ralston, a cereal that some of you probably remember. It was like oatmeal, but made from rolled wheat rather than rolled oats. I found it on Amazon , but it is expensive. Another one that I remember liking as a kid, was Roman Meal, which had both a cereal and a bread. It was my favorite brand of bread back in those days. Anyway, Bob’s Red Mill has a 5-grain rolled cereal that is about the same thing as was in the old Roman Meal cereal, so I ordered some of that for Bobby and I to try. When I was reading the reviews, one lady said she used it for bread, so I will probably try making a loaf of bread with it, too. I have not used the bread machine for a long time, so it is time to bring it out and put it to work making some healthy bread.
I have been alternating between having the steel cut oats for breakfast and having the muesli. The thing that I like about the steel cut oats is that they are hot, and I eat the muesli cold with an apple and yogurt. The steel cut oats, I also have with an apple , but I cook it along with the oats and then just add a little milk afterwards, so it is much hotter for this cold winter that we are having. It was time to order more steel cut oats, so I have been browsing amazon to decide which one to order this time. I really like the Bob’s Red Mill brand, and the Happy Belly amazon brand is also good, and much cheaper. However, I decided to try the McCann’s steel cut organic oatmeal. It costs more, but comes in a nice resealable can, that I would be able to reuse for any brand that I buy in the future. It has a really nice old-fashioned look to the can, and good reviews for the oats themselves.
Since Lon is no longer with us, I will refrain from my instinctive sarcastic answer that he looked forward to. I rarely eat oatmeal because it being my breakfast as a child for way too many years and additions of milk and honey were rationed. I mentioned to my folks that plentiful milk and honey were in the Bible and they replied that such would be something to look forward to when I reached heaven. I seldom eat oatmeal, but when I do, I always add honey and whipped cream just in case I am denied entrance at the pearly gates.
I've been eating them as well...Aldi's house brand. I like to add different fruits & spices. I always brown them in butter, and sometimes throw in fresh ginger root when simmering them in the milk. Good stuff!
I once read that milk & honey have that mystic aura because they are the only foods we eat that were made by other critters for the consumption of their young. I don't know why that would hold importance to humans.
