Mmmmm....

Think you don't like oatmeal? Think again!

Have you ever tried steel cut oats? Very different texture and flavor to that yucky, instant stuff in the paper envelope. Go to your local grocery store and buy yourself a package. You just might be surprised by the flavor, texture and deliciousness of this morning treat!

Here are easy instructions...

• Melt 2 tsp butter in a pan, add 1 c. oats and cook over fairly high heat until the raw oats are lightly toasted.

• Add 3 c boiling water and a light sprinkle of salt to the pan. Stir to combine well, then reduce the heat to a very low simmer. Cook about 25 minutes, stirring once or twice.

• When most of the water has been absorbed, stir 1 c milk into the oatmeal. Cook another 10 minutes or until the milk has been mostly absorbed.
  

• Lightly sweeten and add raisins - if you want.
  

This recipe should make enough for 2 breakfasts. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.

Delish!
