How do you like it? Have you ever had it savory or just sweet? Would you try adding spices and herbs and making a savory lunch or breakfast? Or just the pre-made packets?
 

Good question! I like oatmeal both sweet and savory, depending on mood. I cook mine with milk, regardless. I don't particularly like the instant, because the texture of slow-cooked oats is so much more palatable to me. I don't mind the wait. I've done oatmeal with salt and butter, and I've had it drowning in brown sugar and butter, with a little something extra at times, like raisins, chopped prunes or chopped dates.

Yes, and add some cinnamon, too!

I like mine with apples and raisins, craisins, or even a bit of dried apricot in it. I chop up the apple, add some brown sugar and the raisins, cinnamon, or apple pie spice, and cook it. I always use the old-fashioned oats, and add some of the Bobs Red Mill mixed grains for variety.
When it is done, I add canned milk, and enjoy. It is almost like an apple cobbler kind of breakfast. Wonderful for those cold winter mornings !
 
It's on my food list as the last emergency defence against imminent starvation only. But... I outraged a Scottish friend who is obsessed with the perfection of his porridge, by telling him I can only eat it when it's swamped with milk and then totally buried under brown sugar. :devilish:

I like oats with sugar, bits of dried fruit, cinnamon,chopped pecans. and milk or cream.

I also like oatmeal cookies with lots of cinnamon and chopped pecans.

I use oatmeal in meatloaf too.
 
Years ago, when the old jalopy had a hole in the radiator, folks would put oatmeal in the radiator to plug up the leak. I often wondered if the leak started again, if you could stop the car and have a bowl of oatmeal. :confused:
