Update on oatmeal "meal"
Here's a healthy meal for about 50 cents - and honestly, it's tasty
enough. 1) 1/2 Quaker oatmeal - plus 1 1/2 cups water - microwave at 50% for six minutes 2) add two tablespoons of peanut butter (natural is best) 3) sprinkle cinnamon on top 4) add artifical sweetener to taste (4 packets for me) 5) stir well. The "secret" is to use 1 1/2 cups water, not 1 cup as they advise on the package. 350 calories, no salt, "good" fat, chol lowering, fiber,whole grain. I use natural almond butter instead of peanut butter. |

Update on oatmeal "meal"
The 1 1/2 cups of water makes it less thick. Since I'm adding almond
butter to the oatmeal it seems to help. Without the extra water I get thirsty while eating the mix - of course experiment and see what works for you. SnugBear wrote in message . 1.4...

Without the extra water I get thirsty while eating the mix - of course experiment and see what works for you. I see. I cook mine on the stove and since I add a briefly nuked piece of fruit, I prefer the oatmeal to be thicker. Maybe it's because I never had milk on it as a kid - I don't want it soupy. I did try adding peanut butter once when you mentioned it but didn't like it much. I thought perhaps the extra water made the quantity seem like more to you. What a wonderful, versatile food, eh? -- Walking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 |

"JMA" wrote in message ... Count me in on the thick oatmeal. If I accidently put in too much water I end up nuking it longer or letting it sit longer so it will thicken. I also didn't get much from the pb addition. I like my oatmeal with protein powder & splenda, simple. Jenn I use ground flax seed (I finally bought a grinder and grind it fresh weekly!), almond butter, splenda, and blueberries to my oatmeal. Mmmmm good... |
