Breakfast

So, warm food seems to be the order of the day lately...and the heartier the better for us.

I've been doing steel cut oatmeal in the rice cooker lately. I've tried various crock pot oatmeal recipes and they never seem to work well, although many people swear differently. I think my crock pots are either too new or too large.

Anyway, I recently got a rice cooker and I love it. I use it daily, sometimes even for rice.

So, here's the latest:

1 part steel cut oats
4 parts water
cinnamon
brown sugar or maple syrup

soak over night in rice cooker
have first person up plug it in and start it (that would be my husband or me)
sometimes cook a second time

give it a quick stir and serve.

tonight, I'm trying to dried apples in it, but Ithink those will have to be added in the morning.
