This little concoction was surprisingly very tasty. Not that I didn't expect it to be good, but it was better than I had expected, which is always a good thing. Let's discuss oats for a moment. Growing up I had a sever dislike for oatmeal. I couldn't understand why people ate it, it was slimy and just down right tasted like cardboard no matter how much butter and brown sugar I loaded into it. About 4 or 5 years ago I decided to give it another try, only this time I bought the microwave packets that are already flavored for you (probably loaded with tons of sugar that I don't need). It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Honestly, up until about 2 months ago I didn't know the difference between oatmeal and steel cut oats. I was reading several different blogs that had recipes for either oatmeal or steel cut oats. After doing a little bit of research on the web I found out that its the way the oats are processed that makes the difference. I had never tried steel cut oats so I went to the store and bought some. I have to tell you that I prefer them way more than oatmeal. If you aren't a big fan of oatmeal you might want to give steel cut oats a try, you might find you love them as much as I do. And HERE is my secret to preparing them.
