Steel cut oats are indeed wonderful and, as you say, totally worth the extra time. I&#39;ve never gone the savory route with my oats, but you make an excellent case for it. I love the sound of a savory, mushroomy oatmeal. Now <i>I&#39;m</i> the one drooling. Thanks for the tip!Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778305776209193697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057770631517303937.post-24903765137926769862009-11-18T15:58:55.296-05:002009-11-18T15:58:55.296-05:00Why do I not eat oatmeal more often?<br /><br />Jess, I just found your blog today...I think it possibly from a link in something else I stumbled upon. I read a few random posts, then went back and started at the beginning. <br /><br />Having not read everything, I don&#39;t know if you&#39;ve mentioned this yet, but have you ever had oatmeal made with steel cut oats?<br /><br />*Drool*<br /><br />Despite the half hour cooking time...they are worth it.<br /><br />One night I made them savory. With chicken broth, carmelized onions, sauted mushrooms and a quick sprinkle of parmesan cheese.<br /><br />I mean, oats are a grain. They can just as easily go savory as breakfasty/sweet. Even though that is yummy too.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6057770631517303937.post-61397321298588092672009-03-23T09:49:00.000-04:002009-03-23T09:49:00.000-04:00Hello, Pearl.
