75 ways to love your oatmeal

[*~Jessica~*]

I ordered the Book " 75 ways to love your oatmeal" by Jenny Grothe and LOVE it!! Has anyone heard of it? I was amazed at how many recipes there were to making oatmeal! I already tried 3 of her recipes (Baked apple pie,Banana bread crock pot steel cut oats, and peach cobbler Baked). I had to order a few items due to UN availability like sugar free torani syrup in the english toffee and PB2 cocolate and regular! I thought the book was pretty interesting and thought I would mention it in case maybe some would be interested in checking it out?

I'm not a huge oatmeal fan, it has to be just right. But, I do eat it and DH and DS like it. I'm not sure I'd personally buy a whole book about oatmeal, but I'm going to see if the library has it. I think it'd be good to take a peak at.

Thanks!

Checked amazon.com & it got all great reviews. I think I'll wait till you get it & can give us your input.

Loving my oatmeal

I have a crock pot and always wanted to try a delish oatmeal recipe in it

The other day I was seriously craving chocolate for breakfast (quite odd, but hey it happens) and so I threw a couple of dark chocolate chips into my oatmeal with a drizzle of honey and some pieces of banana. Dear heaven it tasted like chocolate chip banana bread!


BTW, love the way you put your name. Very cute

Call me crazy, but I always wanted to try a savory oatmeal, like how grits are served. Has anyone tried this? I don't like sweet things, but oat meal itself is pretty neutral tasting.

I think it could work and I think I might experiment at the weekend.

I also have this book and I love it. I have tried many of the recipes and a few of my faves are the Baked Apple Pie, Banana Bread and Banana Choc Chip recipes. I hadn't tried baked oatmeal until I found this book and it is wonderful!!! I would recommend it if you are a fan of oatmeal!

That sounds really good! I've been eating Steel cut oatmeal for breakfast and this gives me ideas!

I have made oatmeal in the crock pot overnight. It is absolutely wonderful! You need to use steel cut oats. It's one cup of oats to 4 cups of water if you are cooking overnight. Dice up an apple and throw in some cinnamon....yummy! Nothing like waking up to the smell.

I've also done the chocolate oatmeal.

At what temperature do you set your crock pot?
