For me, with almonds and honey. If I can, I’ll add vanilla ice cream. It’s heavenly.

I buy the Quaker “fruit and cream” assorted in the box of instant oatmeal. I am obsessed with the bananas and cream, but there are only two packets in the whole box. ??? I wrote to them to see if I could buy a box of only the banana. They said they used to make a whole box of banana, but they didn’t sell well enough. ☹ So, I buy tons of boxes at the supermarket just to get the banana, and work my way through the rest of them in the boxes. I like them in this order:

1. Banana
2. Blueberry
3. Peach
4. Strawberry

So, I end up with a lot of Peach and strawberry lying around. I prefer cold cereal in the Summer, but I do eat it year around.

Oatmeal is way better than Cream of Wheat! 😃 Oh, and I prefer mine with milk, or half milk and half water. All water is not nearly as good, but if I’m out of milk, I roll with it. I had to go down to the kitchen for this one. #foodandyoyos

I’m assuming you guys are talking about what I would refer to as “Porridge”.

I take mine bare, just oats ‘n’ milk. I used to have salt on mine but decided it probably wasn’t doing my heart any favours so now I just have it naked with some cow juice. 🙂

This is cool that this happened to be a thread because I recently started making oatmeal for myself. I use 1/2 cup of old fashion Quaker oat meal, one cup of milk, and add some raisins and honey after if is done. Pretty great meal when you’re sick of the cold cereal.

No, we would call those “Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies”, even though we don’t call the plain oats themselves “Oatmeal”. Now I think about it it’s all a bit strange… I don’t know what to believe. 😛

lol I never thought to put salt in my oatmeal. I usually use milk instead of water.

I like my oatmeal simple. Oats, water, a pinch of salt and then I’ll toss in some brown sugar or fresh fruit. Green apples or banana being my two most common. Sometimes I toss a big spoon or two of cloudberry jam in there, fresh cloudberries if I’m lucky enough. Too bad anything cloudberry is super expensive. Those things still have to be hand harvested in the wild.
