I Love Oatmeal

In my opinion oatmeal has everything to recommend it, from scads of health benefits to delicious taste.
My bad cholesterol level was slightly elevated one year ago, and I made one big change: yup, oatmeal most mornings. Last month my cholesterol was back in the normal healthy range. Hurray!
I buy the big cardboard canisters of Quaker Oats, that say "one minute oatmeal" on the box. Put 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 cup milk or water in your microwave oven for one minute and 30 seconds, stir the oatmeal, and cook another 30 seconds.
I cook the oatmeal in one percent milk, and when done craisins, brown sugar, blueberries, strawberries or whip cream from a can make this a fun and fast meal.

I make mine using orange juice instead of milk - then I add craisins and walnuts. It's really, really good, but oatmeal with chocolate chips - like your picture might even be better!
Sounds great to me!
Elizabeth,
Your orange juice idea sounds good; I have never heard of that.
I just started eating regular oatmeal. I've always like it in cookies or fruit crisps, but I could never stand it just as a bowl for breakfast. This week I decided I was "going" to like it and, surprisingly, I do. My cholesterol was up too and I brought it down, but still want to stay on top of things.
Those chocolate chips look absolutely yummy!
I appreciate the photo use and attribution. Pretty tasty, eh? :)
