    Sliced Strawberries and slivered almonds, with a wee bit of splenda and milk. I love it but have not had it in ages. I'll have to save some of my next strawberries for some oatmeal!

    Panera Bread makes a very good oatmeal. They use strawberries, pecans, and brown sugar. You might also want to take a peek at the recipes at OhSheGlows.com. I made her sweet potato oatmeal casserole once and it was to DIE for! :)

    I put in some home made apple butter. It gives you a yummy apple cinnamon flavor.

    For those saying "don't eat it if you don't like it," I feel you. I really do. But at the same time, oatmeal is so versatile, that a lot of people, like myself, *love* to eat it a certain way (baked for me), but they hate it another way. I am that way with coconut too. I love the flavor, but not the texture, unless it's deep fried or baked. Weird, I know, but true story.

    I'm assuming you don't like it because of your current way of preparing it?

    I like to put cinnamon, a tiny bit of brown sugar, and flaxseed in mine, or frozen blueberries! :smile: Experiment with different things and maybe you'll find something you like, otherwise, eat something different that you do enjoy for breakfast!

    I simply love oatmeal! My favorite way to eat oatmeal is to make it with fresh blueberries and agave or maple syrup (and then when it's done, I add some nuts-- most likely walnuts or pecans) or with chocolate (any kind you like/ have around--I've even added Reese's pieces to mine, lol). PB&J oatmeal (just add you're favorite peanut or nut butter and jam to it) and banana/ PB/ chocolate oatmeal are good too. Seems obvious, but you can easily change the taste of your oatmeal with spices. Cinnamon is a classic, but so many others like ginger and nutmeg are good too. Just try different things and mix it up, and you'll surely find a way to enjoy oatmeal. If not, there are many other affordable, healthy breakfasts around.

    Fresh blueberries, some vanilla, and very little brown sugar.

    OR Cinnamon, fresh apples, and a hint of brown sugar. Sometimes I add oatmeal to pancake mix too.

    I like eating the oatmeal packets that taste like fruit. Like the strawberry oatmeal. Or, I make the hungry girl choco monkey oatmeal. Mash a banana, take a diet hot cocoa packet and stir it in to a 1'4c of hot water, add another 1'4c of water pour it on the oatmeal and cook it in the microwave.

    Ahh sorry for the typos my phone is messing up.

    I put all kinds of stuff in oatmeal!! I typically add a little splenda to my bowl along with the following:
    - craisins, walnuts and a little skim milk
    - banana, walnuts, vanilla and cinnamon
    - peanut butter and vanilla
    - peaches and a small amount of half and half
    - applesauce and cinnamon
    - raisins
    - brown sugar and butter (this was before I was trying to lose weight!)
    - blueberries and almonds

    With all this variety I eat oatmeal 5-6 days a week. I love it!
