Jen and oatmeal,

[Guest guest]

When you get the steel cut it will now be pressed and falt like Quaker oats. It is like a chewy wheatberry. I love it on weekends. I agree, the regular oatmeal isn't for everyone, mushy but I love it also. We will broaden your horizons in here..... (:- ))))) DonnaJennifer <jj_73molly wrote:

Thanks for the idea of steal cut oats. That sounds better. I know that oatmeal is so good for you, but I just can't seem to stomach it by itself. Only as a crust or cookies <grin>

Hi Jenn,

Get thick hard steal cut oats and cook them about 15 minutes, the oatmeal will be chewy and you'll enjoy it much better.

I steam brussel sprouts and cut them in half. I pour savory sauce over the top and bread crumbs and even a little parmesan and bake for 30 mins. on 350. Now that will doctor them up if you don't care for them. I didn't check but if the savory vegan sauce isn't in the recipe file let me know and I'll post it for you...........Donna Jennifer <jj_73molly wrote:

 

Thanks, Chanda. Yes, I will try them. I think I will pull the leaves apart like you recommended. I'll put it on my shopping list. I really do want to try all these veggies. I don't want my girls to not like something because I don't like it. I'll need to keep an open mind and an open tongue for it. Just kidding. I have a textured thing - I hate things with a funny texture. Troy and I talked about it the other day. I have a hard time stomaching oatmeal for breakfast. I've started trying it again, though. I read it takes 5 - 7 times for someone to like something. I know it is healthy and I love it in stuff. It is just the texture that gets me. I'm crazy, I know.

 

I'll try the brussel sprouts, thanks. Along with Donna's okra. . . I'll have to swish stuff down with some beer

I deleted the post today about Brussels sprouts and I forget who posted.

First of all, go easy on my beloved Brussels, they really get a bad rap, and it's not fair.

 

If you fear Brussels start out with baby Brussels.

steam them and add some butter or margarine and you will find them yummy. The smaller the more tender and good.

 

A good way to serve them if you have the time is to pull them apart leaf by leaf. Steam the leaves until tender and top with margarine or butter, and don't forget the salt and pepper.

 

hugs,

Chanda
