Wow, with you additions Rosa and Hatley , of its health benefits, the more that i should be eating oatmeal always. I plan to eat it also for dinner but this time with some ice cubes to make it more enjoyable and delicious. I like to lose some fats in my stomach.

Oats are an excellent source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, thiamine, iron, beta-glucan and the antioxidants known as avenanthramides (which may help promote healthy circulation). Oatmeal is not only to eat because is good to treat acne Many people swear by oatmeal as a natural remedy to acne. One easy recipe is to cook up some of the stuff, let cool until lukewarm, then apply to the affected areas. Let stand for several minutes, then rinse. If you have oatmeal and you don't want to eat it, you can use it to neutralize odors. Few realize that oatmeal can help absorb odors. Try placing an open container of the stuff in your fridge. Some people use oatmeal to line ashtrays and claim the flakes help neutralize the smell of smoke. And you have soothe dry or irritated skin People have been using oatmeal to promote healthy, beautiful skin for a long time. It can provide soothing relief from sunburn, poison ivy, or other irritations and is said to heal skin and open pores.

Really? You eat it just like that? Well, at least now you know how it should be properly prepared and be given its health benefits. And besides cooking it, makes it more palatable. It could indeed be partnered with our usual viands.

Sounds as though You'd enjoy the muesli product,Flowerfest!

Muesli product Flowerfest? Can you describe what is it all about please?

Oh, i don't like eating oatmeal without putting milk. But my husband, being lactose intolerant does not put milk in his oatmeal. He simply just puts sugar to taste. I might as well look for rolled oats. I can prepare them on Saturdays and Sundays, where i don't have to hurry in preparing breakfast, since it's our rest days from work.

It's good that your wife gets to cook oatmeal for breakfast at least 3x a week. It's a nice alternative to eating rice in the morning. It doesn't have a sugar forming effect in our blood , like what rice does if we tend to eat a lot. And i agree that we Filipinos are not used to eating oatmeal. But at least now, we are slowly eating them for breakfast and sometimes for snacks.

Mostly, firs timers in eating oatmeal would not like it actually. But as they get used to the taste and learn how to enhance the taste, they eventually like it, just like yours and my experience.

Yes, eating oatmeal has its benefits. It helps lower our cholesterol and a fast way of eating breakfast , specially if you have to report to your work.

Yeah SIMPLYD, I understand that different people have their own favorite tastes in eating. I think I'm rather freaky in others eyes even my hubby also thinks like this too...the way I eat oatmeal. Of course the cider would make the meal taste sour but I love the sour taste with honey added to it. Taking apple cider vinegar would help to prevent the blood pressure going up My hubby never likes to eat oatmeal at all but loves the local made noodle very much, especially curry noodle. He never feels bored to take it often

Apple cider vinegar in oatmeal? Hmm, that's something new to me . I wonder, if i will like it. I think not, though.

Well, people has indeed different tastes and preferences. We like eating oatmeal , but your husband do not.

Oh that was so nice of you to be preparing your oatmeal bread. That's the nice thing of not having to work a full time 8 hour job everyday. You get to prepare foods the natural way , such as those rolled oats. It's indeed different if the oatmeal is cooked. The oatmeal seemed to expand a lot and they are tastier, even with some milk only.

hahaha yes i do take it during snacks..like here in the office break time is at 10:00 to 10:15 thats what i eat i also love to eat MILO powder form only! hahaha

I find it more delicious to eat in powder form. But as a drink, i don't like it.

Really, you eat it as a snack? Well that's nice, because at least it's a healthy snack. Though, unlike you, i don't want my oatmeal to be flavored Chocolate, even if it's Milo. I eat Milo as it is, powder only.

Well my friend, to take away the boredom in eating oatmeal, perhaps you can stir in different types of fruits everytime. You can try putting chopped almonds or any nuts or any fruits. Plus, pair it with an egg, cooked in any way you like, or hotdog.

that is totally smart way errr maybe you can try it in my kitchen and let me taste it

Actually, even when you are in a hurry to go to work, you can just gulp your bowl of oatmeal. It only takes a minute to gulp it. It is by itself breakfast already.

I think, as one gets older, they realize that it's better to eat healthily, so that's why we do like eating oatmeal. I guess your taste is somewhat not same as ours yet. There will come a time in your life , when you will finally find eating oatmeal is a nice treat after all. Maybe you should try it, with some nice stuffs, like bit of nuts or fruits. And add some honey to it, so it's wonderfully flavored.

Good.

lol! maybe.. i cannot appreciate that much now. but yes, hopefully i can someday. since i am really aware of the health benefits that oatmeal is giving us. yes, maybe also i have to try that because i think the plain taste makes me avoid it. thanks. i will try that one day.

It's good to hear that you are an oatmeal eater too for breakfast,like me. I thought there are only a number of us who eats oatmeal. But i was mistaken and i am happy knowing that. Eating oatmeal for breakfast is a good way of getting the energy for the morning.

Good for you too, that you even eat it for your midnight snack. For me though, i just like having it for my breakfast. How i wish i could still eat another bowl during the day, but it seems my mouth don't want it at any other time than breakfast though. AT home, though no one likes the chocolate flavored oatmeal. People have different taste indeed !We only like the honey & banana flavor or just the simple oatmeal.

hehe why is it you're mouth don't want it in other time of the day besides breakfast? Maybe you're mind is just conditioned that oatmeal is a "breakfast food" that's why you don't feel like eating it in other time. You can also try cold oatmeal maybe that would change it for you. It's also delicious just make sure you put some more milk.

Maybe yes, i conditioned my mind that way. I haven't tried a cold oatmeal though. Maybe i should try it. Do you put an ice to it?I like cold drinks, so i guess i will like it too that way, with ice.

Well, my friend we have individual preferences . It happened that you only want i the plain way. I do those things so as to have variety of taste in my oatmeal. But if there's no available fruits, the plain oatmeal with milk is okay with me.

Yes junmae, indeed oatmeal is very beneficial to our health. And i think eating it for dinner would really be good because it is light and the fiber in it will be able to work well as to our metabolism, when we sleep at night. I am thinking of doing that too soon.

That's right sheetalnr, i am so glad that there are a lot of people eating oatmeal , specially Filipinos too, because they are actually rice eating people.

Actually my friend, we also use the instant type of oatmeal. It's easier and faster to prepare specially at breakfast, when you have to still prepare for work. I haven't tried putting raisins on it. I guess i will try it also one of these days. They are actually both good for constipation.

Yes, oatmeal can really help us in fighting constipation. Sometimes, when i am having a sore throat, it's what i eat, rather drink!

Really, there's a maple and spicy oats in your place? Oh, how i wish we have that here too. I will surely eat oatmeal not only for breakfast but for other meals, if we have that flavor here also. I bet, i will like it because it's spicy. Honey and banana flavored oats is my favorite. Just the smell of the banana as you pour the oats to the bowl, makes you wanna eat it immediately.
