Ok, so I have a question...
I really don't like the taste of plain oatmeal. I tried putting berries on top and the berries just annoyed me.
I just made some and put about half a teaspoon of brown sugar on it (which is actually a bit much) and I'm wondering, if I put less than half a teaspoon of brown sugar on my oatmeal, how much am I just ruining the point of eating something like oatmeal?

I would suggest sugar free jam, or sugar free syrup.. I actually mix both in my oatmeal...

After finishing that bowl, I think I just have to admit that I hate oatmeal and there's nothing that's going to make me like it. Blech...

hi, i'm somewhat new to the board....i've been reading it for a while but have not had really much input....all of the info has been great...i just have a question about the splenda.....i'm curious why do you (SpudLady) stay away from that...i'd really like to know because i sometimes use it and was under the impression it is good for you but if i have been misinformed it would be appreciated to know....thanks

I use twin sugar substitute. it comes in traditional and brown.

Well I won't ingest anything that has aspartame in it due to the health risks of that product, but I thought Splenda contained no aspartame?
On a related note, I had some oatmeal last night and it wasn't too bad. I made it with water, same as always then added a little skim milk and just a sprinkle of brown sugar. I think I can get away with a sprinkle right?
