    Sounds strange, and some of the ingredients are only found in the South... but I just tried it and it was amazing, rich, and hearty. Don't knock it 'till you try it!

    1/2 cup quck cook oatmeal
    1 cup low sodium broth
    2 oz livermush (or scrapple)
    1 egg

    Cook the oatmeal with the broth using your method of choice (I use the microwave) and in the meantime fry up the livermush and egg (runny yolk is the best!). Toss everything into the bowl with the oatmeal and stir. Looks gross, tastes like heaven!

    This is kinda what I do! I love savoury oats! :)

    I do a cup of steel cut + 3 c broth on Sunday night and prep it for the week, then when I re-heat it, I put in water and pach the egg right in it! SO YUM. :D

    That rather depends what I am using it for. At breakfast I normally add some type of fruit (whatever we have in) and a bit of cinnamon or some PB & honey or a little jam. I use it to make cookies, sweet and savoury bread and have also found it's good when finely ground as a thickening/bulking agent in stews. Oh, I use Sainsbury's Scottish porridge oats.:happy:

    Three Variations I love:

    1. Strawberries, 1 tablespoon each dark chocolate chips and either shredded coconut or chopped walnuts.
    2. Banana, 1 tbs almond butter and 1 tbs dark chocolate chips.
    3. Blueberries (I use frozen which I thaw out), 1 tbs shredded coconut, 1 tbs walnuts and maple syrup.

    Oh and I always include 1 tbs of ground flax, a dash of cinnamon and a few drops of vanilla extract in every oatmeal bowl!!

    I make oatmeal with water to which I add some wheat bran, some wheat germ, some goji berries, some pure maple syrup and some cinnamon. Yummy!!!!!
    Usually the result is about 2 - 3 cups big, but it's an entire meal, it lasts me until next meal.

    I use old-fashioned oats to make thick protein pudding. 1/2 cup coconut milk, unflavored protein powder, 2 tbsp sunflower seed butter, 1/2 cup oatmeal, and 1 tbsp Jello sugar-free pudding mix. If I want something fruity, I'll sub some blackberries and blueberries for the sunflower seed butter.

    I like the packaged ones because they are already portioned for me. I add dry chia seeds to them
