"Best" Oatmeal Ever

Jun 10, 2018 16:16

I didn't grow up eating oatmeal for breakfast but, over the years, I've periodically given it a try in the interest of healthy eating.

My pantry door can barely close and, often, when I open it, things fall out. (Not that that's a new occurrence.) Still, I DO try to clear things out periodically. So, when I ran across a mostly full jar of bulgur ( Read more... )

Wow, that sure sounds good, but I grew up eating oatmeal and still often do in the chilly mornings here.

I don't eat breakfast ... maybe 5-10 times a year MAX. And oatmeal IS a breakfast food so I rarely eat it. I had this for lunch. :)

That really looks good. I'm bookmarking it, too. I like savory oatmeal, which I usually make with a bone broth and then add a wee bit of Parmesan or Pecorino Romano and roasted mushrooms to (and sometimes, some chia). There are so many ways to tart up an oatmeal into a savory dish!

A savoury version of oatmeal doesn't really appeal to me, to be honest. I'd probably make some sort of oatmeal cookies with the rest of the oatmeal in my pantry.

When I was little, I used to think that oatmeal cookies were a betrayal of everything good, but I bet yours are delicious.

I just looked at several of your posts and have decided that I need to go to the store to find something interesting to cook. I've been keeping things pretty simple while Shog's been away, but now I'm inspired. :D

I've tried a few oatmeal cookie recipes over the years. Coconut and raisins are the only add-ins I've used cause if I wanted to add chocolate chips, I'd make chocolate chip cookies.

I'm always cooking for just me so simplicity of the recipe depends on energy level and grocery shopping budget. :)
