I love oatmeal too, especially McCann's steel-cut, but like some have already said, it takes 30 minutes to cook from scratch. There's a way around this though (just call me Heloise)- soak the oats overnight in cold water. They will be ready for the microwave in the AM- just 3-4 minutes (depending on your power), and they taste like slow-cooked.

OK- that's oatmeal. Now for something a little different. About two years ago I tried oat bran, and was immediately hooked. It's nuttier, with a texture like cream of wheat, but it has muc, much more soluble fiber than oatmeal. It's astoundingly wasy to prepare:
1/3 C oatbran
1 C skim milk (I prefer soy milk, but whatever...
Dash of salt
Nuke for 2 minutes
Mix with dried fruit (dried cranberries or blueberries are sensational), some crushed nuts (walnuts or almonds) and 2TBS of ground flaxseed (golden is milder if you don't like the stronger taste of the brown flax). I stay away from sugar, but add it if you like. You'd be surprised how sweet this concoction is, though!
Pour on a little more milk to taste and enjoy. All told, about 325cals and a great breakfast for those AM quarter centuries!
