Breakfast like Grandma used to make.


Irish Oatmeal, steel cut oats, cooked slowly in milk, with apples, raisins, and  a touch of honey. Sprinkle cinnamon and toasted nuts just before serving. Add cream or extra milk on the side.  Nothing else will satisfy you as this hot bowl of cereal with NO Preservatives.

I discovered steel cut oats late in my life.
You might have known about them all along, if you had an Irish grandmother.
Give yourself a good half hour to get this on the table, following the instructions on the can.
You can purchase steel-cut oats in the bulk section of your grocery store. The ratio is four parts of water or liquid,  to one part oats.

I make a double batch and freeze the extra in individual Corelle bowls.  On days when I'm in a hurry, I pop a bowl in the microwave and within minutes, I have a hearty breakfast.
