    mmm...I think I might have to try the strawberry almond combo soon.

    I don't think I saw pumpkin on there--I make pumpkin oatmeal with 1/2 c. pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, a little brown sugar and some nuts too--pecans or walnuts usually. Good stuff!

    I love oatmeal!
  • Nice thread! Thanks for sharing! I love oatmeal too.
