Oatmeal 7.
Oatmeal 7 is better than regular oatmeal. In fact, it is 7 better than regular oatmeal (The way mom makes it) Dad makes Oatmeal 7 which is only one better than oatmeal 6.

Oatmeal 7 is:

Rolled oats, the slow kind, not instant.
Milk or half and half
pinch of salt
vanilla extract
butter
Maple syrup, or brown sugar, or honey (No you can't have all three, that's disgusting)
Cinnamon

Add it all together and cook it. It's Oatmeal 7 and it's better than regular oatmeal.

My kids ask for it by name.
GFCF must make the appropriate subs with almond milk or something.

Er... and also substituting the oats. If you want oats that haven't been processed/contaminated with wheat, you have to order them specially online. And even then there's still debate over whether the protein in oats is sufficiently similar to gluten to cause problems anyway. Somewhere around half of celiac sufferers say they suffer pain from even the purest certified gluten-free oats.

But you could use quinoa!

Clod, have you tasted Quinoa ? Is it good tasting ?

One of my G-kids seems to have a mild aversion to breads, but does eat oatmeal.
He talks about wanting to find some other kind of cereal.

I met a celiac person's wife the other day and she told me that if you stirred regular pasta in the cooking water with the same spoon as his GF pasta, he would violently hurl almost immediately.

I'd say you'd pretty much have to buy your oats from the farmer and thresh them yourself. There is so much cross contamination and if you're anything as sensitive as this guy, I'd pretty much only eat vegetables.

Quinoa is pretty good and its flavor is immeasurably improved by lightly toasting in a cast iron pan first.

What's for breakfast? I'm thinking venison tenderloin, scrambled eggs, and grits. W/wheat toast.

Lamp - I love quinoa.
Similar to couscous, but more... meaty? chewy? crunchy?
It's just a nicer mouthful with more texture. You feel you're really eating something.

Lamplighter · 12-05-2010, 08:57 AM

SG, thx, I'll tell the G-kid about it, maybe even try it myself

SG, My G-son got some... now how to cook it ?
Do you (or anyone else) have a easy recipe to start with ?

Trilby · 12-05-2010, 09:52 AM

peanutbutter toast.

We had spam, eggs, and biskits.

Clodfobble · 12-05-2010, 04:23 PM

Lamp, Sundae's right, quinoa is fairly bland by itself, and the texture is like a bulkier couscous. You can also get quinoa "flakes," and that texture is more like instant oatmeal (very similar to rice cereal, if you've been around baby food anytime recently.)

breakfast was toast in the car. both days of the weekend. I'm due something really yummy and seriously unhealthy tomorrow morning.

bluecuracao · 12-05-2010, 06:45 PM

Eggnog brioche french toast!

monster · 12-05-2010, 07:20 PM

Really? So not something I would entertain the thought of -even as a dessert. Horses for courses, though, at least it wasn't boring!
