1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups boiling water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cup half & half
1/4 cup of skim milk

In a large saucepot boil your water add the oats and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 35 minutes, and stir every 5-10 min.

Spoon into a serving bowl and top 1/4 cup half & half, if the half and half is on the heavy side add some skim milk to balance the thickness.

Our friends have a Swedish heritage and they eat steel cut oats with a bit of hard-boil eggs and pickled herring.

Steel Cut Oatmeal if you buy from a bin and not a prepackaged can/box one can get a better deal. In whole foods one can find Steel Cut Oatmeal for $.99 - $1.99.
