Oatmeal...

Is there any other way to use oatmeal, besides cookies, and the breakfast style stuff?

Funny you should mention oatmeal!  I have never eaten it but bought some the other day and made this recipe

I put some honey on  top and alls I can say is OMG - YUM!!!!!

Not sure on other ways to use it but will let you know if I stumble across any.

I'm sure this isn't what you meant - but when I was younger and had oily skin, my mom used to make a face mask for me with oatmeal and honey that was great.  No need to count calories too :-)

lol! facemask!

What I meant by this, was, like, not bread or muffins etc, or the regular hot cereal, but something really different... like.... with meat or something?

Ok, ok. I felt a little bad being so flip, so I did a little searching and here's a savory oatmeal recipe just for you!

The link has the recipe (on the 2nd or 3rd page of the article), but look at the ingredients:

1 cup groats (these are apparently whole oat kernels)
3 cups vegetable or meat stock
1 cup flavorful beer (optional; use 4 cups stock if not using)
2 tbsp organic Canola oil
1 medium fennel stalk, diced
1 large leek, sliced in rings (tender white and green parts)
2 green onions, diced (tender white and green parts)
1 large shallot, diced
4 cloves garlic, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 rib celery, sliced
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp cultured butter (often labeled as European butter)
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tbsp fennel fronds, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 cup Smoky cheese (smoked gouda, smoked Swiss, etc.), grated
1 green onion, diced (green part only)

Wow... that's a heck of a lot of ingredients... I guess I forgot to say "simple" because I ain't really all that proficient in the kitchen!

I still appreciate the recipe! Maybe I'll take a look at the site too.

I use it in meatloaf.  Instead of bread crumbs, use 2/3 cup oats and 1 cup milk for the liquid.  It is very good and nobody knows it's in there.  You can also use it in other recipes calling for bread crumbs.  I experiment with different foods to find ones I like using oats.
