This recipe might inspire me to give oatmeal for breakfast another try. And I'll admit, maple gets me every time. To give you an idea of some of the ingredients: steel cut oats (I've never tried -- maybe that's been my problem  , butter, milk, salt, vanilla..... Just thought I would post for you oatmeal fans since I thought it really sounded good (and this is someone that still is trying to use oats in something other than baked goods ; ) dunkandcrumble.com/creamy-maple-steel-cut-oats/ |

SallyT -- What can I say, brilliant minds! I didn't even notice the comments -- I was squeezing in some "important surfing" while taking a work break. : ) I really like her blog, and her humor/laid back feel. And, hey she did give me that eggplant/garbanzo bean recipe so I'm indebted to her. I was on her site yesterday and I got distracted when one of her links was a NYT article on fav cookbooks.
The few times I've had oatmeal I thought it tasted like glop (the technical term) but this recipe made me think, ok give it another try. I've never tried steel cut oats -- I've heard that makes a big difference in texture. is that what you normally use?
In fact so dreary out I'm making her chicken parm recipe since I thought some old fashioned comfort food sounded good. Chicken, melted cheese, let the oven do most of the work. Works for me. Have a great weekend!

 The weight loss program I worked with previously relied a great deal upon oats since wheat wasn't part of the program. A common complaint was the slimy quality of rolled oats, so many of us turned to steel cut. You'll find less of the slimy quality and a nuttier overall flavor. (and the "glop" factor also tends to be commensurate with the amount of liquid used in preparation.) I like oatmeal in general, but I tend to prefer the steel cut.

I'm another who cannot tolerate the mouthfeel of oatmeal but steel cut oats are supposed to be creamier and, as Gail mentions, nuttier. I did like one of the popular Baked Oatmeal versions from the CLBB that I made often for DH, who is the cool weather oatmeal fan. I have that Whole Grain Mornings book and check Megan's blog often. There is another steel cut oats recipe in the book, I'd be glad to post if anyone wants it--Morning Glory Oats with carrots. I've made 1 Savory recipe out of the book, Bacon and Kale Polenta Squares (it was good, used baby spinach instead of kale and just had to add some parm!) and want to make the Baked Pumpkin Risotto as soon as the darn temps allow oven use again without stressing the AC!
