I never cared for oatmeal very much – and when I started to lose weight and eat a healthier diet – it was like someone had flipped a switched.

I was intrigued by oatmeal – I actually WANTED to try it and like it – and sure enough – I did.  :)

Everything from sweet to spicy to salty to crazy – I’ve tried it.  What has become my favorite breakfast – I had serious doubts about the first time I made it.  Spicy Oatmeal.  :eek:

I suffer from a hot sauce addiction – I think Frank’s Red Hot belongs on every food under the sun.  One morning – I decided oatmeal shouldn’t be excluded.  I put my brain to work, and came up with a combination of Quick Cook Steel Cut Oats (from TJ’s – my very favorite), and added 1 poached egg, and 1 Morning Star Sausage Patty.  I added just the right amount of hot sauce for me (about ¼ of the bottle!), and topped it with a sprinkle of dried chives!   Absolute heaven in a bowl!

Now that I’ve gone spicy – it’s hard for me to go back to sweet, although that does make for a nice change.

Next time you are feeling adventurous – try it out – I promise it won’t disappoint!

Oooh, savory oatmeal. I tried it once with cheese and roasted red peppers, didn’t like it but THAT looks good!

I am trying to talk my boyfriend into trying this. He loves spicy foods. I am going to make it for myself once I get some vegan sausage patties. I share your adoration of Franks hot sauce. So vinegary and good!

I love Frank’s! It DOES belong on everything! One of my favorite combos is a poached egg with hot sauce. Maybe I’ll have to try the oats, too :)

Wow, I would have never thought of hot sauce on oatmeal. I dont think I can do that (hot sauce wuss here) but I could try a savory oatmeal.
