I love the old fashioned kind with brown sugar or dried apples :1pig:

I'm with the "use milk not water" crowd. Water cooked oatmeal is cereal: made with milk it's this creamy, yummy delight. :) I usually add cinnamon and raisins to mine before cooking.

It's strictly a winter dish for me, though. In another month or two when the days are getting cooler and shorter and the clouds are darker, then it gets to be oatmeal season. :)

Cooked with raisins so they plump up, then add butter and brown sugar. Delicious.

Cooked on low heat on the stove with vanilla soy (either that, or organic 2% milk) raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sunflower nuts. If I can pick the pan up, turn it upside down and nothing falls out, it's ready.

In the summer, I make oatmeal granola with coconut, almonds, a bit of olive oil, honey and cinnamon. After it cools, I add dried fruits. Eat as cold cereal with goat's milk. In the winter, I like to cook it for an hour or so on the back of the cookstove, while I milk and do chores. Back in from chores and add fresh goat's milk and real maple syrup or honey. Mmmm....

I thought I liked oatmeal till I read some of ya'lls recipies. Retch. With cinamon and raisins, brown sugar and a dash of salt. Or civilized like with ground beef, pork, bay, onion, pepper and pinhead oats fried to a golden brown snuggled next to bisquits and over easy eggs.
Next ya'll be touting the benefits of haggis. Or takin a bath with it or some other weird such stuff.
Grits--the unifying force of the universe. Butter, salt, pepper with a little chopped up sausage patty or pork links, once again snuggled up to bisquits, eggs over easy and if it's not too much trouble some fried apples. Coffee if it's available, branch water if not.

I put oatmeal in the same catagory as jello. Oy and yuck!

As my sister once said, it has pimples (meaning small lumps).

I'll take Quik Oats in the microwave with lots of butter & sugar.

DW hates oatmeal, and prefers Cream of Mush ( I mean Wheat). :p

Say WHAT?????????????? :Bawling: LOL.

Would this be called Scrapple? My grandmother always talked about eating scrapple made from leftover oatmeal and meat when she was a child, but she never did know how to make it.

Recipe, please?

as cookies :)

With milk and honey(preferably my cousin's honey if I have any) and buttered toast. My favorite winter breakfast.

Nope, for scrapple you'd use corn meal instead of the oats. Still, it's tasty and a good 'slaughter' food.

mmmmmm oatmeal! Old fashioned cooked on the stove til thick, then add salt, butter, sugar or honey and milk with toast. mmmmmmm

I like oatmeal anyway I can get it.
I use honey, fruit, jelly, brown sugar, real maple syrup, peanut butter, just about anything in my oatmeal. I even add milk once in a while.

I fancy myself an oatmeal purist. I only cook the organic coarse cut oats, and would NEVER microwave them :nono: When they are almost done cooking, I add the raisins, either yellow sultanas or the regular black raisins, also organic. To each bowl, I add dark brown sugar, organic butter and organic half and half. Sometimes we add chopped organic walnuts or pecans.

Any kind of oats (not instant) with butter, sugar or honey and dried fruit. Sometimes cinnamon. Served with a glass of milk, but no milk in the bowl. Well, I don't eat them now that I'm gf, but I'll do the same with cream of rice. (and probably grits)

organic whole oats with brown sugar and macadamia nuts!
