Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Someone mentioned being tired of making oatmeal. I can relate, however I have discovered that it can be really easy to make and for me it really helps me keep my BG down. I used to make " instant " oatmeal for my son by giving oats a spin in my blender to make the flakes smaller and they were ready to go with just boiling water added. I also would add raisins, etc. when he would eat it. Recently I decided I really wanted to eat oatmeal but cooking it and washing the pans was a trip I didn't want to deal with. I also didn't want to deal with the blender, so one day I put my oats in a heat proof glass measuring cup (you can use a bowl), boiled the water, poured it over the oats, put a saucer on top to hold in the heat and within minutes I had ready to eat oats. I added a few drops of soy milk and ate my oats straight out of my measuring cup. (No need to wash extra dishes.) I can now make oats in minutes while doing other things. You can add whatever you wish to your oats...sweetener, butter...whatever your diet allows. This " trick " works with quick oats or old fashioned oats but the quick oats are creamier. No hassle breakfast and minimal dishes to wash. I like " instant " food that is actually good for you. Cheers, Ardee-ann http://www.sagemoon-cottage.com Ask me about the Fuller Brush opportunity!
