So I made Irish Steel-cut oatmeal in my crockpot last night. Its the one grain superfood!
One
serving of steel cut oats provides 10 percent of the iron you need each day.
Iron helps your body get the oxygen it needs to function properly. Without
enough of this mineral, you may develop anemia. Symptoms of anemia include
dizziness, heart palpitations, headaches and fatigue. You will also get 2percent of the daily recommended value of calcium from each 1/4-cup serving of steel-cut oats. The strength of your bones and teeth depends on getting adequate levels of calcium, as your body does not manufacture this nutrient on its own.

So here's my recipe:
1 cup oats to 4 cups distilled water (2 cups of oats filled my pot to the top)
cinamon to taste
salt
vanilla
fresh cut fruit (i added to ripe peaches diced)
cook on low 6-8 hours
top w/strevia, organic pure maple syrup, and various fruits
I smoothied for breakfast and 3 hours later I ate 1/2 cup of my oatmeal/peaches...yum! feeling totally satisfied.
