    Old fashioned oats with either PB2 and a banana with almond milk or a tbsp of strawberry chocolate jam and a banana with almond milk. My favorite breakfast!

    Simple is good - raisins and almonds.

    Summer fave: soaked and sprouted oat groats, banana, a little nut milk.

    basic Quaker Oatmeal with a sprinkle of Splenda and cinnamon, 1% milk and a sprinkle of frozen blueberries (I bought a bunch and froze them when they were on sale as a experiment) 3 minute in the microwave (put a plate under the bowl to catch any overflow), let it sit for about 3-5 minutes. It is great, filling and the blueberries pop in your mouth. Yum!

    I'm scottish, so I consider the only true way to eat porridge is with cold milk and salt. ;)

    My step-grandad, who was a Scot, used to eat porridge...cooked for about 30 min...had it with salt and milk...I like mine with fruit cocktail or cranberries...

    Is porridge the same thing as oatmeal?

    My friend who visited Ireland (we're American) raved about porridge and said it was like gooey oatmeal. Is that accurate?

    I like my oatmeal with milk and brown sugar...Mmm...

    Never have had porridge. Is it just like oatmeal?

    I like to chop up about 1/4 of an apple (peeled) and cook it with my oats, then add brown sugar and cinnamon.

    Or, I like to add dried berries and some nuts (if my son isn't home).

    I usually have mine with some salt and sometimes a wee bit of butter. I did discover some packets at the Indian grocery store that have oats in a variety of savory flavors, like "Lemony Veggie Mix" and "Curry and Pepper" and I really like those.

    some combination of blueberries, raspberries, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate and Fibre 1 cereal, or none of these depending on what's left in my cupboards.
