Oatmeal

I've never been a fan of oatmeal: too mushy.  Last week, while cruising through Trader Joe's with mom, I decided to snag some whole wheat steel cut oats and force myself to like them.  I hear they're healthy and seemed like a more reasonable breakfast than Cheez-its.

I gave it a try over the weekend and the result: I enjoy!  I cooked them al dente and don't like too much water in them -- they ended up with a grits-like consistency.  I added salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.  Sweet, but not too sweet.  Last night, I made a big pot for breakfasts these week.

Bring it on, steal cut!
