One of my favorite things to make for breakfast, on chilly mornings, is a big pot of oatmeal. I like McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal (in the gold can) and, although it takes a while to make (about 30 minutes), after I've made it, I put the rest in the fridge and have enough for about a week. It is a more expensive oatmeal, at $5 a can, but it makes 20 servings which comes to 25 cents a serving! That is a bargain for a nutritious, filling breakfast full of fiber. The can recommends serving it with buttermilk and brown sugar but I usually add skim milk and maple syrup to mine. You can also add chopped apples, nuts, dates, raisins, cinnamon, honey or even fresh blueberries, depending on your mood and what you have in the fridge. It's a soul-satisfying meal that warms you up and is good for you. Oh- you can also buy the one in the round red canister with guy in the funny hat. It's even cheaper. Just don't buy the individual pouches with yucky artificial (peaches and cream) ingredients. You deserve better than that. Happy Oatmealing!
