Oats are awesome. I love them. They make me happy. There are ten bajillion things that you can do with them, but the best thing to do with oats is make porridge of them.
Yep, porridge. I made a post ages ago about mixing oatmeal with yogurt, but since I rarely buy yogurt anymore, I had to come up with other ways to vary my bowl of morning oats.
ANYHOW! Porridge. Seriously. What a cool word! According to Wikipedia, porridge is grains, particularly oats, that have been boiled in water or milk. Here's a few more suggestions to jazz up your oats:
-peanut butter-
-butter and fruit preserves-
-peanut butter and jelly-
-butter and pancake syrup of various forms-
I've been in the butter and strawberry preserves mood lately. I also prefer to cook my oats thick and then thin them with additional milk, rather than cooking them like runny soup.
Oats have some seriously major benefits. They're frugal. They're whole grains. They're naturally sweet and they are fantastically full of all sorts of neat things that God uses to clean out your blood, your liver, and even increase a nursing mother's milk supply. Oats are my friends; I'm glad to introduce you to them!
