    The last 2 days I've had my oatmeal with blackberries.

    I start the oatmeal on the stove. Add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Let it boil for about 4 min. Then add 1/2 Cup of blackberries. When it's done, put it in a bowl and top with 2 Tbsp of chopped walnuts and 1 tsp of brown sugar. Love it.

    Mmm.... yours sounds so good, I just made my batch for the week, steel cut with vanilla, cinnamon, splenda, and flax meal!

    I really like to add coconut, almonds, and cranberries as well.

    Pain oats? Damn, that's some hard core oatmeal right there!

    I'm in love with steel cut oats. They are worth the time. My favorite add ins: almonds, cinnamon, craisins, cocnut, pecans, and walnuts (not all together).

    I substitute TVP for oatmeal, add an egg or two. Then I top with Libby's canned pumpkin, DaVinci's sugarfree syrup, and 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil.

    This is the first time the cherry vanilla combination has actually sounded appealing to me. Thank you for this!
