Eating oats....

I've tried all sorts of oats and the end result is the same -- blech!

I don't like them plain and I can't stand 'em with something to sweeten them

up (remember -- so sweet tooth here).

Here in Cincy, we have the whole oatmeal loaf/sausage thing going so I'm

exploring that. As I mentioned in another thread last night, I'm going to

try combining saueed onions/garlic, some spices, and oatmeal to see if I can

make something similar to a local product called Grotta. If so, I'll slice

that and fry it in a little butter to get a reasonably healthy breakfast

food.

Additionally, someone elsewhere recommended I try that basic recipe but

without making it into a loaf to slice and fry. It sounds interesting so I

may give that a spin as well.

I'll probably be working on some oat bread recipes as well.

I'd be interested in hearing other ways to eat/use oats that do not involve

sweetening them up but it appears that most everything does just that in

some capacity.
