The Great Oatmeal Experiment: Lessons

[randomactsofkat]

1)       Do NOT add full cup of water, it will make breakfast explode.

2)       This is not pre-sweetened. Will need sugar packet
3)       DON'T BURN TONGUE!
4)       Steel-cut Oatmeal is like nothing I have consumed before.

Steel cut oatmeal FTW! Eat it like great-great-grandma used to!

a pinch of salt in the water while cooking, along with a pack of splenda and a teaspoon of cinnamon

Check your meds, though. I discovered a few weeks ago that certain meds are actually absorbed into the fiber if taken with high fiber foods like oatmeal. Specifically, Metformin (a diabetes medicine), but there were a few others mentioned that I don't recall...
