What do you add to your oatmeal? I've been eating it just plain because anything I add to it has just made it worse. I made overnight oats with some Greek yogurt and added some cinnamon and it was pretty nasty.

So lately I've been curious about preparing any kind of porridge, especially oatmeal. How do you make your grains? Any interesting recipes? What are your thoughts on overnight oats?

Here's an interesting recipe for a thing called Tsampa:

guide 2 tsampa
1. get pearl barley
2. roast it in a pan on a small fire. You will need to stir it constantly, or it will burn up;
3. then leave it to cool off for a while;
4. grind it down to flour. You can use a coffee blender is the best thing for this;
5. roast the flour till it gets nice and golden;
6. leave it to cool off again.
Then just store it in any dry place. To prepare it, just brew some tea, and add it to the powder with some butter (sugar/salt/nuts/anything else per taste).

Also what are some tips or techniques you have when dieting?
>bowl of oatmeal for breakfast
>always drink coffee in the morning, it suppresses hunger
>make sure to have a small breakfast
>it'd be ideal for you to evenly spread your calories throughout the day
>count your calories of course
>I end up eating just one big meal a day though. Not exactly the best strategy as it makes you more sensitive to indulgence.

I added too much salt so it was gross

Oatmeal?
Are you CRAZY?

I'm thinking of cooking some oatmeal in the microwave.

I eat breakfast while browsing 4chan and when I eat oatmeal it can take me an hour to finish a rather big bowl.

Why this?

Whenever I don't have my oatmeal for lunch it feels like there's something off. It tastes best with milk and ever better with fruit. Oatmeal

How does /ceekay/ flavor their oatmeal?
