The one problem, of course, is that oatmeal doesn't really taste of anything. So, I continue to experiment with new things to eat with my oatmeal to dress it up. So far I've tried:
- Brown Sugar
- Honey
- Raisins
- Raspberry Preserves
- Cream
- Orange Juice Concentrate
- Cinnamon
- Cloves
- Dried Cranberries
- Pecans
- Maple Syrup
I'm wondering where to go from here, though.

I used to cut up a banana into thin slices with a butter knife and mix them in with my cereal including oatmeal. Just a suggestion.
You inspired me to have oatmeal for breakfast this morning -- something I don't do often.
You might try apricot preserves with a pinch of cinnamon or dried apricots with cinnamon (chop the apricots and boil for a minute or two to soften first). Or you could really get adventuress and try chopped fresh fennell or anise seed for a mild licorice flavor (I have not tried this). And have you tried making granola? Oatmeal, but with a nice change of texture.
You know, I wasn't expecting this many comments about a post I only wrote because I was too tired to think yesterday.
I happen to like Quaker oatmeal, although I don't like the "instant" variety that turns into slimy mush.
I don't know that I've ever had steel-cut oatmeal. As for granola, I don't think I'm that ambitious a cook.
How ‘bout jalapeno oatmeal?
Smokey mesquite oatmeal?
Tuna oatmeal?
Corn beef and cabbage oatmeal? (a St. Paddy’s Day favorite)
:P
You haven't said what brand of oat meal you buy; I'm told there's a difference between brands. I'm not an oat-meal person, but my wife recommends Hodgson Mills Oat Bran and their other products.
How about oatmeal sans snide?
My apologies if my post gave you the idea I was mocking. I was not trying to be snide, I was trying to be funny.
Dried cherries! Look for the ones in the bulk section. They look almost identical to dried cranberries, only a little bigger and darker. I think they're actually pie cherries. Can't be beat. Yum-yum!
Snide and funny aren't really that different. I don't mind jokes, but I will return the favor.
Try honey and apple-slices. That's my favourite.
