Hi Kristina,
I checked out your blog and I look forward to trying out your recipe this weekend. YUM Also, kudos to you for getting back into the gym! I work out too. I slacked off a bit last fall but I have made a New Year's resolution to exercise at least four times per week. So far, so good...
Thanks, again, for that wonderful-sounding recipe,
Karen

Thanks. We love the recipe and it's so healthy for our family. We get apples from a local orchard or buy organic to make it. Thanks to my mother, I have orchard apples this week.
Also, thanks for the comments about my blog. I originally started it to keep myself on target with my writing, and soon it turned into our life and making it through the recession with self-sufficiency skills. We love the new lifestyle, as I have always been fascinated with pioneer living.

This post is serendipitous! I rememebered that, in my husband's stocking from his mother, was a tin of McCanns Irish Steel Cut Oats and we were expecting a major snow today, so I put some on in the crock pot before I went to bed last night. Awoke to a warm and filling breakfast before my long, snowy commute.
A little butter, real maple and brown sugar and YUMMO. Some still left for the husband and the girl :)

Maple Syrup sounds yummy on it too! Never thought of that. Thanks. I enjoyed the last of our batch we made. With 4 inches of snow expected I am having my son bring home more oats from work.

Real maple syrup is soooo good on oats. I love it. And I'm no fan of "maple" flavoring. Something about it, though, with the oats is just perfect. I put in craisins, and nuts, often, as well.

Tommie, it was certainly a delight to wake up to this morning, knowing I didn't have to "think" about breakfast, that it was already done and that's it's good and warm, and good for me, too!
I used 3/4 cups steel cut oats to 4 cups water; cook on low for 6-7 hours. I put them on at 11:15 or so. Could also change it up to add milk, I guess.

It's so easy and so good, to boot. If you use those crock pot liners (I don't), I would imagine it's totally painless. Still, it's not a big deal to wash one crock and do it all over tonight.

I am in the process of making some rolls with steel cut oats instead of rolled. I love steel cut oats, I think they taste so much fresher! Can't wait to see how my rolls turn out!

Thanks so much for the great recipe. I am thinking I have some steel cut oats so I can make it for tomorrow morning, but if not, I am headed to town tomorrow and will get some!! :)
Great blog too, I can't wait to sit and look at it thoroughly!!

i have never been much of an oatmeal eater but when i bought 50 lbs of stone cut oats for my chickens, my neighbor girl gave me the recipe for them in the crockpot & I tried it...WOW...I love this stuff! I do a big batch (2 cups with 8 cups of water) I add 3 T honey & a huge handful of raisins or cranberries & put it on warm at night...by the morning I have this wonderful food that I eat but most of it goes to the chickens since its winter & I want them to have a warm meal. i try to make this every other day so i have something healthy to eat as do the hens. I got my husband to try it & he will even eat it.
