Hello Shesha. Pleased to meet you! And congratulations on baby Owen!

Mal, that list is tooooo funny. I need to lose the world's largest ball of tape!!! Or sh*t a gold brick!! Or have a cow (well, a calf)!

You can cook your steel cut oats either in a crockpot or on the stove. They take awhile to cook, so I used to cook up a weeks worth at a time and just keep the rest in the refrigerator and heat up the amount I wanted each day. I'm not a huge fan of sugar (sorry! Nobody throw anything at me!) so I usually just made my plain and then added some fruit. There is so much Fiber in them than the carbs are basically zero.

Shelbi - good job today for you as well!

Night night lap band ladies.

When they are in the fridge, do they get lumpy?

I've not had a problem with that at all. I just dish some up in a bowl, add a splash of lowfat milk or whatever, then microwave for a minute. It took me awhile to get the right consistency, cooking time, etc. but it was worth the experimentation. Can't wait till I can add them back into my diet!

HA!

the steel cuts are great! They do need to cook longer and they are more nutty than other oats. I hope you like that. cook them overnight in the crockpot -- I add dried fruit when I cook them, but I think the recipe Shelbi gave us said to add it after. I do add nuts, pecans or walnuts after they are done and I use honey instead of brown sugar!

Yum!!!

Way to go Dee! I did ok -- walked this morning about 1.5 miles and did 10 minutes on the stairs at lunch break; had tuna, Protein shake, Greek yogurt; and had my oats this morning -- delish! One day done! I'm feeling good about this; you??

Great Shelbi!

I think I might have some tuna tomorrow! That sounds good!

Well, I came home and my daughter had cooked this great meal. I was hungry even though I had no intention of eating, I had 1/4 cup of whole grain angel hair Pasta and 2oz of chicken breast and a few grape tomatoes. She's so thoughtful. My fats stayed down, I didn't eat Red meat and I ate my oats.

I actually love my oats!

I'm proud of us Shelbi! You're a good egg! Don't you love that Greek Yogurt? Yum!
