A while ago, a friend told me about Steel Cut Oats. Yesterday, I tried them for the first time. They are completely different from what I considered 'regular' oatmeal. My friend warned me that once I tried this kind, I'd never go back. While I must admit the taste & texture are far superior, the 30 min + cooking time has convinced me to keep Quaker Old Fashioned Oats in my cupboard. I'm including a picture because the oats look so different than what I'm used to. The bowl has the prepared version with a little butter and brown sugar. Yum.
I also made pesto with our home grown basil, yesterday. It doesn't take long and it freezes well. It's so nice to enjoy the fresh taste in the winter.

| This along with salt and pepper and it's done. (We add the cheese when we defrost the pesto.) |

| I cut the garlic a bit so I wouldn't end up with any large pieces. |

Steel cut oats...yum! There are ways to have them more quickly if you start the night before. Try this one: http://www.thebittenword.com/thebittenword/2009/01/overnight-oatmeal-quick-cook-steelcut-oats-in-10-minutes.html

You should make your husband make them. I hear that guy doesn't do anything.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I heard that, too. For shame...
ReplyDeleteHey!! I never told you about steel cut oats! Those were a staple in my household when I thought I had celiac disease. Though the cook time is loathsome, they are delicious! I think I will have to put them on my grocery list.
ReplyDeleteThe pesto looks yummy!
