    I wish blueberries and strawberries weren't so expensive. I LOVE putting them in my oatmeal.

    Today, I put cinnamon, banana, and 1 TB of PB. OMG! WOW! It was soooo good!!! I'm loving oatmeal more and more. And the funny thing is that I HATED it as a kid!

    I put in PB too. Of course I could randomly find things to add PB to....
    With the PB, sometimes I add just a teaspoon of honey or lite syrup.

    I made the steel cut oats...They were yummy. A little crunchy in taste. Even after cooking for more than 20 minutes. Is that there regular texture after being cooked?

    I do the same thing. I buy oats in the bulk bin when they are on sale. Usually 3# for $1.

    My receipe


    1/3 C Rolled Oats
    2T Raisins
    1/8t Pumpkin Pie Spice

    Put in a large bowl with 2/3 C water and microwave for 3 minutes (make sure the bowl is large enough it makes an awful mess if it boils over.

    Add 1 packet splenda and a little cold water.


    Yum!!!

    I love the pumpkin idea with the oameal.

    I cut up apples and spices and pour boiling water and Sugar Free syrup. Then I put it in those little Glad containers and chill. I eat it before my workouts. I pretend it apple pie.

    I have used cooked oatmeal in protein shakes! Just blend it and it really sticks with you!
    Hey Corithian, keep some frozen berries on hand for your 'meal. They're a lot cheaper than the fresh.
    I also buy my fresh berrys at Costco.

    These are some kickin' oatmeal ideas! :drinker: I have in the past (kind of forgot about it) put about 1/4 cup frozen berries (the triple berry blend from Costco) in the fridge the night before to thaw and nuked some oatmeal in the a.m., added the berries and cinnamon and a packet of splenda. I haven't been using Splenda much lately, so I would probably have it with out and I always add a splash of 1/2 & 1/2. I can't wait to try some of these variations! Thanks for all the great ideas. :heart:

    You can put some raw oatmeal in a smoothie for thickening to it. Here's a good smoothie that we invented....add amounts to taste, cause we were in a competition so we didn't measure, we did it by taste.
    Blueberries
    Strawberries
    Apples
    Plain FF Yogurt
    Ice
    Pomegranate Juice
    Pkg Instant oatmeal
    Honey -to sweeten
    Flax seeds

    Talk about a kick butt healthy smoothy, and very filling. AND another way to use oatmeal!:wink:
    (by the way, we won the competition):happy:
