Oatmeal

[which_chick]

I like oatmeal. I particularly like the steel cut oat groats oatmeal that involves more time than even traditional rolled oats. But, I also like brown sugar and cinnamon, though not the amounts found in brown-sugar-and-cinnamon instant oatmeal packets.

Today I had a revelation. I do not have to buy flavored oatmeal in horrible instant oatmeal packets that are overprocessed and way too sweet.

I can totally make the oatmeal I like and add brown sugar and cinnamon (or other flavorings) to suit me. It is okay to make delicious flavored oatmeal out of whatever oatmeal and whatever flavorings I might like.

This completely obvious and uncomplicated notion was revelatory to me today, so perhaps other people need to hear it too.

Hooray for making it yourself and to taste!

I had that kind of lightbulb moment about 2 years ago when I realized I didn't have to use packaged musli - I could make it for myself!
