I never eat oatmeal without a little cinnamin sprinkled on.<BR/><BR/>Phyllis C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001890.post-1139714182994586882006-02-11T19:16:00.000-08:002006-02-11T19:16:00.000-08:00Yes - I love it!

Your new idea with the Kashi sounds great. <BR/> <BR/>One of the things I really like about this dish is that if you are short on fruit, as I am sometimes, you can make substitutions which do not hurt a bit. A handful of raisins and/or those dried cranberries are great as they swell overnight with the moisture from other elements in the mix. I like to toast the slivered almonds too. Yummy. I have even put in flavored, non-fat yogurt when I have run out of the plain, and I promise you, the peach one is to die for!<BR/> <BR/>Your meal ideas have been very helpful to me since my band was put in place. There are many things that I just cannot tolerate any longer, so my choices are far more restricted than they were and suggestions from somebody who is that much further down the yellow brick Bandy road are invaluable. <BR/> <BR/>There is no such thing as fiber overload! Since the quantity of food one can take in with the band is reduced, it is more of a challenge to take in enough fiber and this is the best invention since sliced bread.<BR/><BR/>--From 'Mary'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
