Breakfast: Steel-cut Oatmeal (this one's a gf cheater)

Share & Comment
We're spoiled because a wheat allergy is not as serious as a gluten intolerance.  I think you can get GF steel cut oats, but I'm not sure.  If you have the luxury of being able to eat them, this is the only way to eat oatmeal.  It takes a lot longer (I let it cook while I'm showering in the AM... usually is perfect timing) but is so worth it.

The texture is super creamy, and way more filling than the quick cut kind. 

We add butter (naturally lactose-free), brown-sugar, dried fruit of whatever's in the house, sometimes sunflower seeds or a dash of granola (wheat/GF of course) and always some salt.

We also buy it in the bulk isle at our natural grocery store.  MUCH cheaper that way. 

Ingredients:
4 c. Water
1 tsp or so of salt
1 c. steel cut oats
Toppings

Bring the water to boil with the salt added.  Once boiling, stir in the oats.  Reduce to medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes.  Stirring occasionally, more as you get close to the end.  It should be thick, little to no water left but not too dry or stiff.  Don't worry about the funny looking foam/stickyness, just stir it in, that's what makes the texture so delicious.

It's best right after you've cooked it but holds well enough if packaged up in a glass bowl with a lid and taken to work.  Try it first on a weekend though so you can get the timing down and know what it's supposed to taste like right when it's finished.
