Who knew we would all be so affected by the Quaker Oats ads to lower our cholesterol!<BR/><BR/>Now, I've got to try out the steel cut - although I may be tempted to stay with the not so time-consuming Quaker Oats/plain/no sweetener - I add dried plums (yeah, they're really prunes), cranberries, a little low-fat milk.<BR/>Happy breakfast everyone!Dianna Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901349180265745138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-41880198683597726672007-11-22T13:52:00.000-07:002007-11-22T13:52:00.000-07:00Welcome, Forever Young!As far as I'm concerned, an...Welcome, Forever Young!<BR/><BR/>As far as I'm concerned, any theory which disputes the fact that Aquarians are special doesn't hold water!!

It actually brought my cholestrol down! It's my winter breakfast of choice! With all that fruit no extra salt is needed (in my taste).<BR/>Raisins are good too!

"steel cut" oatmeal does take longer to prepare(about 30 minutes) but I make up a big batch for the week and reheat individual servings in the microwave each day. If you fix it on the weekend, it'll be just as quick as "instant" on weekdays, but much tastier! My favorite is McCann's Irish Oatmeal available at Trader Joes.storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-48260637119668014762007-11-18T23:22:00.000-07:002007-11-18T23:22:00.000-07:00Hi Rick, I just discovered youblog, coming over fr...Hi Rick, I just discovered youblog, coming over from Lynn...(she tagged me too) I like your funny, thoughtful posts, the way you wrote about your daughter "Dan" and the way you describe your peace-bubble and the every-day-new attempt to live without complaints:) <BR/>Have a good day!<BR/>AndreaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602563148936673366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-80474290648155696452007-11-18T20:04:00.000-07:002007-11-18T20:04:00.000-07:00i used to eat the individual packets that came wit...i used to eat the individual packets that came with tons of sugar myself back in the days. today, it is plain and i add raisins or dry cranberries with tons of cinnamon. i love cinnamon!<BR/><BR/>very interesting the message the oatmeal is sending you...hmmm? perhaps your heart is thanking you for taking such good care of it?rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-64652152162424709812007-11-18T19:35:00.000-07:002007-11-18T19:35:00.000-07:00I love the steelcut but never leave enough time fo...I love the steelcut but never leave enough time for that - going to upgrade this week from the instant to the quaker dude.
