Soothing Oatmeal Porridge.

Boy Eating Porridge

I was asked to participate in a recipe circle (me??). What was wanted was a recipe I know by heart and could jot down quickly, for something I'd eat when I didn't have a lot of time. Here's my answer.

Soothing Oatmeal Porridge.

Choose the appropriate oatmeal for your mood:
Steel-Cut for those vigorous mornings, Rolled Oats for regular days, Scottish Oatmeal for when you need pampering.

Toss into a pot and begin to heat it. A touch of salt is good.

Chop dried apricots and plop into the cooking oatmeal.
Add hazelnuts (you can get local organic ones at the Food Coop).
Sprinkle in cinnamon.

Cook till it's the way you like it.

Best on hot, buttered, whole grain toast.

Mmmmm.
