I eat oatmeal most days. I cook a big triple batch once a week and SO and I eat it for most breakfasts. As a result of a pretty consistent meal, we've come up with some interesting ways to eat it. (Also because we're in college and don't always grocery shop, and necessity is the mother of invention).
PB&J oatmeal
I prefer this style with steel cut oats. If I just do peanut butter, I like the old fashioned oats. SO and I agree on the jelly- it should be raspberry with lots of seeds- but we disagree on the peanut butter. I think it should be crunchy, the crunchier the better. Heck, I'm on the border of throwing in whole peanuts
He says that people who like crunchy are lazy, because we just don't want to grind it all the way He likes creamy, of course.
Savory oatmeal
Cheese, some scrambled egg, and this delightful stuff from a restaurant here called "yumm sauce" it is soooooo tasty. It's mainly chickpeas and soy, but I just can't care about the soy. It's tasty! This is also really good with olives, sour cream, etc.
Anytime we go to a restaurant, SO gets a poached egg on top of his oatmeal. We only do this at restaurants because I can't poach an egg to save my life
Traditional
Some days I like sweet oatmeal, and so I'll do a little white (I know, forgive meeee) sugar and some blackstrap molasses.
My go to
What I do most days is just oatmeal topped with craisins and almonds. Quick and easy. Whenever I have milk, I reheat my oats with the milk added.
So, what do you guys do?
