at home i eat steel cut, but in college my only option sits in a packet. i went to whole foods and bought organic instant oatmeal, though, so i didn't have to rely on the preservative-ridden crap they have here.

Hmmm...I feel sort of dumb b/c I'm not sure. I have a box of Oat Bran All Natural Hot Cereal. It's not in individual packets and it doesn't say anything like "quick" or "instant" on the box, but I just add water and cook for 1-2 minutes. The only ingredient is oat bran. So is it instant? The box does say "the oats are milled to remove the fibrous coat, or bran layer, from the rest of the kernal." I'm stumped and feeling kind of foolish... :)
ewww...i eat steel cut oats with soy milk (i like how it's more crunchy than other oatmeal) but i won't be eating it until i forget that blood expierence.Quote:

ah man, I didn't do the poll because if its oatmeal I will eat it you know proveded when its instant that it has not to much artificial crap in it. In fact I just got some instant oatmeal organic flax and oats, good stuff. My friends, my family I don't think I knwo anyone that like oatmeal I love it, oh and cornmeal is good to.
In the week it's either two slices of toast with that nice cruncy peanut butter made by Essential Wholefoods (most of you westcountry vegans will know the stuff).
or It's Shreddies but the ones made By Sainsbury or Co-oP as they are labelled Vegan.
ON the weekend I treat myself to a veggie grill up not a big fan of fried food or if the local health food shop has them in stock I get some of the Luxery Herb Vegan Sosauges and have a nice sarni with brown sauce - proper job young-en :-)
Does anyone ever make this? I have oatmeal every morning, and while I love it and am not tired of my oats, I want to try the rice cereal, too.
My recipe says to use 1/2 c. of rice and grind it in a coffee or spice grinder, mixed with 2 c. boiling water, reducing the heat to low when you add the rice, and then cooking for about 5 min., adding vegetable-based milk, if desired, at the end.
I'm not sure that my walnuts and maple syrup will go with rice cereal. What do you guys think? :)
I have tried rice porridge before. This was rolled brown rice flakes, as you get with oatmeal. It was quite yummy, but I much prefer the oats. Rice porridge would be a great substitute if, like Foxytina, you have celiacs desease and can't have gluten.
Walnuts and maple syrup wouldn't not go with it, but I know a rice porridge that comes with chopped up pieces of dried nectarine and peaches, so maybe you can try something a bit different?
Also, I am not sure what rice cereal you are talking about coz I never had to grind anything up in the coffee grinder!!!
Oh, you grind up the rice. You just use regular brown rice that you buy in a container or bag or bulk bin at the store and make the "cereal" part yourself by grinding up the rice so that it cooks faster and comes out more cereal-like. :)
Thanks for the tips on the fruit. I don't have either of those, but maybe raisins will work.
I made this cereal this morning. It's not as good as oatmeal. I made it using the above directions, plus adding 1 1/2 T. of sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon, and 3 T. of rice milk, to make it sort of like rice pudding flavor. It tastes pretty good, but not "awesome" like my oatmeal! :)
I make "Congee" a traditional Chinese Porridge. It is rice cooked in a pot or crockpot, with lots more liquid than normal and either a sweet or savory theme-
For Sweet, I use almond, soy or coconut milk, add cinnamon and/or chopped dates and perhaps other spices like ginger, nutmeng, or pumpkin pie spice blend. After it has cooked to a "mush" I add chopped nuts and a dab of Earth Balance and maybe Maple syrup.
For Savory, I add chopped onion and garlic, perhaps corriander maybe a curry spice blend or a chopped jalapeno and after it has cooked down a bit I add chopped vegetables (greens, carrots) and finish it off once it is a "mush" with a bit of Earth Balance, Brown Rice Vinegar and a dash of Umeboshi Vinegar.
This is a common Winter breakfast, Sweet or Savory, in my house. Congee is easy to digest and very soothing. It's a good thing to have when you have the flu or a stomach issue.
Cool! Thank you, CC. Those both sound really good. I'll have to experiment more. :)
Cool, Artichoke!
How could I forget the Nutritional Yeast and Miso! They go into the Savory Congee after it has been cooked too... :)
thanx cc :D you always give me such good ideas!
Fresh made juice right now. Maybe something else next week. Who knows with my taste buds.
an apple and "fitness" cereal with soy milk. always.
Home made Soya yoghurt, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, blueberries, Dr. McKeith's Living Food Energy powder, Udo's choice all mixed in a big bowl........sometimes with some maple syrup if I'm feeling like something sweet!
Yummy.......

I've been eating a lot of 5 grain hot cereal or hummus on toast. I think I'm ready to try something different though...getting a little boring.
Yay for Udo's Choice and Dr. Mc Keith's Living Food Energy Powder! :)Quote:

sweet black tea followed by porridge
Cinnamon and Raisin Bagels - Yum!!
I eat oatmeal, with peaches and soy milk just about every day. It almost tastes like peach cobbler....mmmmmmm........
Same as you cedarblue!
If it's during the week, I prefer leftovers for breakfast. Either that or some type of whole grain with preserves stirred in.
If it's the week-ends, I love a tofu scramble with fried potatoes, whole wheat toast and slices of tomato and/or avocado on the side.
A banana and peanut butter sandwich or a fruit smoothie
Silk Soy's chocolate soymilk is the best...
Mmm...
Silk Chocolate is my daughter's guilty pleasure...at least it's calcium and Vitamin fortified :)

Heavens, no! I say it is her "guilty pleasure" because it has a lot of sugar in it and it's the only thing besides the occasional organic dark chocolate that I buy packaged as a "treat" for my daughter, really...we have lots of homemade goodies though!
I make corn-oatbran muffins that are 1/2 oat bran with flax and hemp protein powder that are "meals in a muffin" for snacking on. She eats these for an after-school snack or for breakfast with Enriched Soy milk (not chocolate...I let her take those to school or have as a treat at sleepovers).
Bananas, sliced with almond butter and ground flax with a fresh glass of sesame milk (sesame seeds, a date or two, or dried fruit and water!)Quote:

Try congee! Cook rice with 2x the usual amount of water and add spices and veggies (sea veggies too like Nori, Wakame etc to be Macrobiotic ) or add dried fruits and nuts :) Congee is considered to be very healing and good for digestion and building strenght in TCM ;)
I should send you some lemon polenta porridge!!! It is warming and very tasty
Do any of you guys eat this stuff? My favorite is Maple and Brown Sugar...it looks to be all vegan.
Is this too good to be true?
I am sure it is but the vest way is to get the raw oats and add your own Maple & Brown sugar, I am not sure in the US but many UK brown sugars are vegan
I think I emailed Quaker long ago and found that their oatmeals were acceptable. I'd prefer organic, plain rolled oats and usually buy Bob's Red Mill, though.
Yes, I saw that PETA had a least of bfast food on their site someplace and I saw that Quaker Oats was under the vegan list. So I would assume that it wasn't coated in bone "char"...
