Oatmeal and me , need HELP

Professor, I have been advised too and I have the same thing. SO.... this is what I would suggest. Add some fruit, nuts and raisins to it. that may make it appealing to you if at all. I understand what your going through.

Dearest friend, I´m going out in this moment but saw your post. I have learned to use oatmeal in tasty ways. I used to think of oatmeal as you say. Now I started to make my own recipes and, if you still need them, I´d love to share them with you. I have posted some ideas these last days at mylot. Check my profile Hugs for you and for my sister

Hello Professor. I use steel cut oats for my breakfast. Steel cut oats are the whole oat cut into smaller pieces. I like the texture of the steel cut oats better. I put dried fruit in it during the last few minutes of cooking. I also sweeten it with molasses. Molasses is what is removed to create white sugar.

was cooked to long if sticky. I love mine with some honey and milk and tate of buttr love it. ya can also make cookies

Well I'm not sure if you can eat oatmeal with sugar but if you cant you can use Truvia sugar its not manmade like Splenda and comes from nature so its safe. Use some Truvia sugar or normal sugar, a dash of salt for flavor or teaspoon of butter,cinnamon (you can use as much as you want) Or you can slice up some apples or strawberries. those are delicious in oatmeal. You can switch up these things and see if you like them in your oatmeal. Goodluck!

Oatmeal is good for lowering blood pressure and reducing cholesterol. However, in America it's mostly used as a breakfast food and for baking oatmeal pies and cookies.

It has been shown that communities eating predominantly oatmeal and oily fish have a lower incidence of many diseases. I partake of oatmeal each morning for breakfast by making porridge, it can be an acquired taste but I am sure you will enjoy it once you become accustomed to it. If you can find them use rolled oats rather than oatmeal, which is ground finer. Boil about a 1/3rd or a pint water and add half that volume of rolled oats, stir and let it simmer for a few minutes till the oats absorb the water, then serve. If your palette is accustomed to strong flavours you may not be able to appreciate the slightly bitter nutty flavour to begin with. This will come with time so don' be tempted to sweeten it If you make a lot of porridge you can let the extra cool and dry then cut it in slices. Then you can eat it later as a snack. Also here with have oat-cakes, which are like a hard biscuit. Oat batch bread, which is delicious. Hope that helps, all the best urban

The only dishes I know of are baked goods like oatmeal cookies, oat bars, or making oatmeal the way my hubby does with brown sugar, milk and butter... sooo yummy!

oh professor I used to get the p ackets of Quaker oats with dates and raisins in them or walnuts and micro wave them and they were so good with NutraSweet but here in G old Crest they serve us grey yuckky 'looking oatmeal without anything in it and its soupy and flavorless and well yucky looking just to look at it. real oatmeal cooked a short time with some fruit and nuts added is deleicous. I use the things that will not shoot my blood glucose level up. I know oatmeal is really good for you but you still have to like the stuff before you can eat it. why they make it so soupy is beyond me.. surely they could afford a few raisins to put in it or some pieces of nuts. they really are cheap here when it comes to the food they serve.lol. just a note I tried not to get packets of quaker oats that I knew would cause myblood glucose to raise high.

Hi professor!~. I personally don't like oatmeal too. There distinct taste and smell I find not appealing to me. I even made discussion about it here and you can see it at http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2300098.aspx. I think because I am not get used to eat food thats taste thats bland. I think put it with yogurt and fresh fruit help improve the taste. Believe if you had O blood type its won't work with you. I personally think eat more vegetable and fruit much better than others carbohydrate even they said its made you feel full longer than rice or bread.

Your wife and daughter are very creative, coming up with Oatmeal Upma. I feed Oatmeal to my children with milk and honey. I don't like to give them sugar, and well, 'Sugar-Free' are not really recommended for children. I just pour them in a bowl, pour milk then microwave it, and if it is too dry add some more milk to make it more liquid add honey on top. That's how I make for them.

how about this? it's from a friend who perfected the savory vegetarian oatmeal dish. let me share with you the recipe. Ingredients: 1 small onion diced 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 cup mushrooms diced (whatever mushrooms you prefer) 1 eggplant or aubergine or zucchini sliced salt and pepper to taste 1/3 teaspoon each of dried oregano, basil and thyme 2 cups rolled oats 1 1/2 cup water and 1 avocado diced Heat a pan to medium and saute mushrooms in olive oil. once the mushrooms have released their juices and it has evaporated, add the onions and allow them to soften before adding the sliced eggplant or zucchini. once the eggplant or zucchini softened slightly, sprinkle a little salt on the vegetables, stir and quickly cover the pan with a lid. Once the vegetables are very soft, add the oats, pepper and herbs. Stir to season everything then add water to the dish. Make sure you add the water slowly so as not to get the oats mushy. Leave this to soften the oats for at least 3 minutes. Top with fresh avocado and sprinkle with pepper. I hope you enjoy this healthy savory oatmeal dish.

its not actually upamaa, its upma its an south indian dish, i havent tasted the upma kheer, but i have eaten upma several times in home as well as hotel, its good, try having with lemon pickle, or any other pickle, for awesome taste, i suggest lemon pickle

Well, i eat oatmeal for breakfast. I eat it together with bread with spreads or with eggs or any quick frying foods. But i do eat those instant oatmeals because i have to be quick in preparing breakfast, lest i will be late for work. I put 2 teaspoonfuls of non-fat milk and a quarter of teaspoon brown sugar. Then , i would put little water and let it be there for 10 minutes or more, while i do my make-up. Then, it's ready for eating. Well, i like it sticky, not too watery. I guess you cooked it in very little water , that's why it's sticky.

In Australia, we don't really eat savoury oatmeal, but I love my sweet stuff. I use sugar which you obviously can't, but I love it with honey. Delicious. And the more milk you put in the less sticky it will be. Make sure to put extra milk on top once you've served it up for extra yum.
