[...] Crock Pot Oats. If you would rather stick to warm oatmeal, consider trying Crock Pot oatmeal. The oats cook overnight on low heat, while you rest up for the busy day ahead. Take this opportunity to try steel-cut oats; they usually require significant cooking time, making them incompatible with a rushed morning routine. However, with the aid of the Crock Pot, you can enjoy the nutrition and long-cooked texture of steel cut oats without slaving over the stove. Use a 1:4 ratio of steel-cut oats to liquid, but decrease the liquid if you decide to use old-fashioned oats. Check out my recipe for Crock Pot Pumpkin Oats. [...]

Hi Ann,
I can completely understand the frustration you must be experiencing right now. I remember getting angry when the rest of my family was drinking skim milk, while I had to drink 2% to gain weight. It just feels so unfair. SO, your apology is appreciated, and I can totally sympathize with the feelings you described. If you ever need some support as you progress through the recovery process, feel free to contact me!

Best,
Caroline

Caroline,
I want to apologize again for my comment yesterday. I didn’t know that you have a history of ED. A little about why I left the comment I did: I do have an ED, and I am working with a therapist. One of the things she’s helped me give up (in favor of real, non-substitute foods) is artificial sweeteners. I used to sub stevia for sugar in everything. So seeing your post just triggered me (NOT your fault, obviously!) because it caused me to say to myself “How come she gets to use stevia in place of sugar and not eat baked goods and I have to?” But as I said, that is my OWN issue, and I’m sorry for taking it out on you.

I’m also sorry for taking up your post with my comments. You can delete them if you want.

Oh yum! What a great idea! I’ve never really used a crockpot, but now I have a good reason to learn how to use one.

I chose to use the Crock Pot for two reasons: 1) I was using steel cut oats, which usually take quite a long time to cook on the stovetop and 2) I am pressed for time in the mornings that I have class, so preparing something the night before eliminates the breakfast-time rush. The resultant texture is also quite creamy and delicious:)
