I have a minor obsession with oats, namely oat bowls. It started as a child with my Mema. She would always make me oatmeal with brown sugar and salt and a swirl of milk, then click on Mr. Rogers and let me sit on the little stool, warm bowl in my lap. So, you could say My feelings of well-being from oats run deep. But with good reason, because they fill you up and have nutritional benefits that we can all use more of.

"Always add a healthy pinch of salt during the cooking, rather than after."
Notes: Oats are Quaker old-fashioned oats.

1. Prepare oats according to package directions, and place in a bowl.
