I did the same but would never had been allowed to add butter and besides we didn't have butter when we were kids. It was that horrible margarine that was white with a coloured spot and you had to squeeze the package to get the colour distributed throughout. I added brown sugar and milk (skim - this was horrible too as it was powdered and you had to mix it with water).

I guess we were sort of poor as there was 7 children and 2 adults so oatmeal and cream of wheat went a long way. Cheerios - I haven't had it in years.

Cold is Shredded Wheat with a sliced banana and skim milk. Muffets were better but no longer available. Cereal is something I usually only have every other month.
There must have been a blue moon because occasionally this winter I’ve been having porridge with a tsp of brown sugar. No milk.
DH has cereal every third day. It can only be healthy stuff.

I just tried my first bowl of steel cut oats this morning, and I really, really liked it ! I had been reading about the steel cut oats, and they are a lot less processed than even plain old-fashioned oatmeal.
I did try one of the overnight-oatmeal recipes from youtube, and it was good. You just soak the oatmeal and some fruit in milk overnight and then eat it cold in the morning.
This might be fine for summer, but now I want something hot to eat in the cold weather.
The steel cut oats can also be used in other recipes that call for rice, bulgur, or quinoa. I am going to try adding some to a salad next and see how I like that. They do take longer to cook, but I started mine before I made my coffee, and then turned the burner down and let them slowly cook while I had my morning cup of coffee.
They have a lot more vitamins than regular rice, and even more than brown rice. Here is a quick comparison that I found online:
Here's a quick glance at a cup of cooked oats prepared with water and no salt: 165 calories, 6 grams of protein, about 4 grams of fat, 28 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of fiber. The same amount of cooked brown rice prepared the same way has about 220 calories, about 5 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, 45 grams of carbohydrates and 4 grams of fiber.
