CORAZONAS CRANBERRY FLAX OATME
I love this. It is a great snack, and its filling. I was sorry to see the cost go up.
Orange Ginger Sauce
This is a very good sauce, to be used either as a marinade or just right into the oven sauce. I use it regularly for chicken. It can also be used for salmon and shrimp. Eliminates the hassle of having to make my own orange-ginger marinade from scratch, which i used to do using orange marmalade, orange juice, salt and orange zest. However, it is $4.50 a bottle at my local grocer and i feel THAT is too high, so i went looking here at Amazon only to find it even more overpriced at $7.14. I will not pay that.
Dr. McDougall's Right Foods Non-Dairy Hot Cereal, Organic Apple Cinnamon, Oatmeal & Wheat, 2.3-Ounc
This tastes great although I do add a little more cinnamon. It does not fill you up like homeade oatmeal does but it is still a nice product.

McCANN'S Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal, 28-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4)
I first heard about steel cut oats on the Oprah show about its health benefits. First of all I DO NOT like regular oatmeal like you buy in the grocery store. I don't like the slimy texture. But I figured I'd try steel cut oats and I'm glad I did. They are delicous and very good for you! The warm nutty aroma when they are cooking is very appetizing. I add a little bit of sugar or splenda and some cinnimon, it tastes fantastic! I also sometimes skip the cinnimon and add a tablespoon of granola and/or some dried berries. Excellent healthy breakfast.Normally these take about 30 minutes to cook on the stovetop. I found a way to cut the cooking time in half. Take 1/3 cup of oats, and 1 1/3 cup of water and put it in a large microwavable bowl. Cook in the microwave on High for 5 minutes, stir, then another 5 minutes, then stir again, and then cook about another 2-3 minutes until the texture is just the way you like it.
For those of you who are asking what the difference is between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal:
-Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in color and resembling mini rice particles, they are as nature intended nothing added and nothing taken out.
-Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste, goodness and texture.
Sweeten cooked oatmeal slightly with a modest amount of brown sugar, add just enough half-and-half to wet it thoroughly, and then add a healthy serving of fresh blueberries. Now THAT is some breakfast.

Steel cut oatmeal has a grainy, hearty texture that's more like al dente pasta than mush. American grown varieties often have a gelatinous texture between the grains. The Irish grown oatmeal is firm and nutty through and through.My electric range cooks the oatmeal in about 25 minutes. I use a straight-edged spatula to keep the oatmeal from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Avoid over-stirring to keep that nice, firm texture.
More good news: Steel-cut oatmeal, like chili or stew, is better on the second day. Pour your leftovers into a bowl, lay plastic film directly on the surface of the oatmeal, and store in the 'fridge. Reheat in the microwave with a spoonful of water for a minute or two.
Genuine maple syrup is the best sweetener for oatmeal, in my opinion. Add diced apples or raisins or bananas, with a little milk, and you've got yourself a bowlful of breakfast!

I can tell this is a great oatmeal. It's thick, chewy, wholesome, filling but does not feel like a lead weight in your stomach. However, there is a slight stale smell when opening each can and if you eat them without brown sugar or honey you can taste that staleness. I would not buy them from amazon again as it seems they were kept around too long. You can get them for $5 a can at Trader Joe's I noticed today. I think the turnover there would be faster so will be doing that from now on. Great product though!Want McCANN'S Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal, 28-Ounce Tins (Pack of 4) Discount?
They're for eating, of course (ok, maybe if you're an oat farmer, you have a different persepctive.) At any rate, rather than argue the relative virtues of rolled vs. steel cut oat cereals, I sing the praises of both. Maybe it's a seasonal thing, the somewhat coarser, nuttier, rougher steel cuts somehow more fitting to cold winters than are the mellower and softer rolled oats. It's like black coffee to an au lait, dark beer to light, hard bebop to cool jazz...you get the picture.You'll also feel virtuous spending some old-fashioned time over the stove (albeit not that much, or that arduous). The warming experience is itself sufficient, you'll feel like mending a fence somewhere (or tearing it down if in a RObert Frost frame of mind), but it's common to top this
with contrasting fruit, or perhaps nuts, syrups, flax seed oil, brown sugar, yoghurt, raisins, prunes, lat night's stew?--it's HEARTY enough to stand up to almost anything you can throw at it. Your doctor will probably extol the nutritional benefits: Fiber, protein, certain vitamins, etc. McCann's is the best of the bunch, and yes, that is a can that belongs in the Smithsonian--or its Irish equivalent. Hebridean soul food.
Cream Of Rice Cereal, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)
I have loved Cream of Rice for years and have been searching for it in the stores forever with no luck. I decided to look on Amazon and low and behold, there it was. I just love it for breakfast with butter, sugar and milk. It fills me up and yet I don't have the bloated feeling I sometimes have with wheat cereals. I have had ileostomy surgery and this product is wonderful for me in that regard as well. I am so glad I found it again after years of doing without. I tried putting dry rice in a mill to grind it, but it sure is a lot less work getting it pre-ground this way. It works well as a binder for meatloaf and also as a thickener for soups!
Now, I'm nearly end-stage with ulcerating Crohn's disease, but still find that Cream of Rice can be digested without pain, and quickly alleviates nausea which accompanies Crohn's flares.
However, illness aside, I would still recommend it as an outstanding hot breakfast food. I'm also glad to see it here as the world-wide "Bigmart" has chased most other groceries out of our small town, and now does not consistently carry this product, nor will they respond to requests for products. Thanks, Amazon.

My 2 yr old has a wheat intolerance and even the baby rice cereal from Gerber has lots of additives she doesn't do well with. Cream Of Rice is just plain ol rice, imagine that. Found it in ONE store here in Austin but it is the Mexican version... glad to find it on Amazon. It's getting too hard to find anymore!!! A little maple syrup and she is as HAPPY girl.Want Cream Of Rice Cereal, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) Discount?
This is the perfect breakfast food for those who want to eat healthy or are on a diet because this item is fat-free. I like this item because it is gluten-free and that means I can eat it and not worry about my stomach gettting upset like it does when I eat oatmeal. You can always add flavor to it. I like to add instant coffee to make it have a coffee flavor. It is a fast breakfast food too because a bowl only takes less than 3 minutes in the microwave depending on how thin or thick you want it.

I like this coffee very much, has great flavor and a aroma. also, use a big CUP, BECAUSE THE COFFE IS STRONG. Maybe some people like it that way. But I do not. I WOULD OF PREFERED THE BRESKFEST BLEND, BUT COULD NOT GET IT..So I bought this one instead. But don't get me wrong, it is a great coffee, if you like this one, everybody likes different blends of their choice. MAXWELL COFFEE HAS A LOT OF CHOICES, BUT THEY MUST HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE ONE I LIKED. I recommend all of Maxwell House Coffees. Jim in OhioWant Maxwell House Cafe Breakfast Blend Coffee Pods Discount?
Seeing that these K-ups are the second-cheapest on the market, we decided to try them. If you adore blahness, than these are the cups for you. They are bland and have no pep to 'em. And, man, I need pep. Maxwell House has "new and improved" their coffee since circa 2005, and since then I have tried it to see if they have done so every time that they whip out that slogan. And every time I have been let down. Yes, we have finally learned. Marketing psychology and weak coffee are not for us.
