My Own Old Fashioned Oatmeal Recipe

By


Start With Old Fashioned Oats...

 This is a filling, delicious breakfast recipe that I have most mornings in the winter.  Be sure to use old-fashioned oats rather than instant (processed) oats.  Start to finish this recipe only takes about 10 minutes, so be sure to get all the goodness you can from the grain.

sounds great on a snowy day like today. Did you know that if you put 'old-fashioned' oats into the blender and pulse it a few times you will end up with your own 'instant' oats?

I didn't know that, but how instant do you want it? This is pretty fast! :D That would surely be better than the expensive processed product you get in the store. Thanks!

Thanks, yesterday I watched a documentary about food in China. I learned about congee. I am going to try making it with some of these same things added.
