I do not like sweet oatmeal, so I add salt, black pepper or cayenne and lemon juice. — Anonymous	04/27/2013 - 10:21pm
omlettes (add mushrooms, chrrey tomarotes, spinach, or whatever you like to your eggs and cook)mix together in a pan and cook until warm: 1 cup almonds, 1 cup (dried and sliced) apricots, 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal, 1 cup honey, 1 cup 100% all-natural peanut butter, 3 scoops muscle milk protein powder now that's alot of calories, if you're going to eat that in just one sitting. so, just eat a LITTLE bit of the mixure and use the rest of it to make protein energy bars!! . it's actually a protein energy bar recipe found on youtube (toneitup channel) that i love just eating when warm and not in protein energy bars Protein pancakes recipe (youtube): .PS: i know you want something warm, but green smoothies are the best!! (find recipes on youtube). — Anonymous	04/14/2013 - 1:10pm
I love oatmeal, and have added raisins, &/or cranberries. I also use brown sugar to add a bit of sweetness, and milk (usually 1%).I've used cinnamon as well, but I've never tried applesauce, which I think I will try next time, which also may help decrease the sugar altogether. (I prefer unsweetened applesauce). I have to watch my stomach though, very sensitive to foods that it never used to be sensitive too, and oatmeal seams to still be tolerable. I find that eating oatmeal for any meal of the day quite filling and satisfying. — Anonymous	02/01/2013 - 10:07pm
I make a concoction of ground flaxseed, walnuts, Cinnamon, brown sugar with a little low fat Milk. I keep the dry ingredients in a jar mixed together ready to use. — Anonymous	01/28/2013 - 4:54pm
I use 1 cup water and 1/2 cup quick oats, microwave for 1-1/2 minutes, add1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese for some added protein, blueberries, stir and warm through for 15 seconds in microwave. Sprinkle with your favorite sweetener (I use Splenda) and cinnamon, or you can use sugar free maple syrup. Yummy! — Anonymous	01/28/2013 - 3:31pm

I love oatmeal and this looks soooo good. It is a good way to jupmstart the day.I have been in a bit of a slump myself lately. I have been extremely busy at work and don't want to so spend time at the computer. I'll get over it now that the weather is turning nicer and be back to posting soon. Hoep all is well! — Anonymous	01/14/2013 - 3:26pm

I find it tastes great on it's own, the additions I make are to improve nutrition. I always add a few scoops of yogurt, seasonal berries (or warmed frozen berries), and a combination of pipitas, sunflower seed and walnuts. I eat this almost every day of the year; delicious!!! — Anonymous	10/14/2012 - 6:25pm
Instead of sugar, I put chopped dates. — Anonymous	10/06/2012 - 11:16pm
