    I use Steel cut oats. I make 4 cups at one time and eat it throughout the week.
    Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup Steel cut oats and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for approx 20-30 min, or until oats are a thick consistency, stirring occassionally to keep oats for burning. Remove from heat, stir in 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of vanilla. Store in fridge.
    I add a tsp of sugar and 1/8 cp of raisins to each serving that I prepare.

    I always cook my oatmeal on the stove, none of the instant stuff for me! I like it really, really thick. I use 3/4 cup of water, 1/2 cup of quick cooking oatmeal, pinch of salt and a dash of cinnamon, I use quite a bit because I love cinnamon. When it is cooked I sprinkle the splenda brown sugar over it and and a tbsp of dark chocolate chips and about 1/2 cup of milk. I don't mix it, I just eat it with a little of everything on each spoon. It is like eating a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! I love it!

    Now I am hungry, I might have to go make some!
