Nice spin on oats indeed. I sometimes add oatmeal to my turkey stuffing to thicken up the void..

Tonight the missez whipped up some Spanish omelettes and sides.
I did the toast.

I use oatmeal that I grind a bit in a food processor in my meatloaf's instead of cracker crumbs or bread crumbs. That came in handy when I was staying a couple of nights at an old friends place while helping her with yard and house tasks. Her daughter and three grand kids were coming for supper and I offered to do the cooking.
Her daughter can't have wheat and even though I couldn't 100% guarantee that there wasn't any wheat reside in the oats she said she could eat it.
My friend, her daughter and the grand kids all loved the meatloaf and both the mom and daughter wanted the recipe. :tu
I think it was Jeff Smith 'The Frugal Gourmet' who said that omission and substitution were the key to 'Creative Cooking'.
I use it in place of breadcrumbs, in a meatloaf. Or rice, to a stuffed pepper. Yep, even meatballs.!
Well I think I explained this once on the breakfast thread but what started me on this was Scots Mince which is basically a ground hamburger staple comfort food that I learned from my Glasgow step Grandmother. I was learnt to use oats as the thickener and it all snowballed from there. Then learning about certain east Slavic cultures who ate Kasha or Kashi depending the nationality added to the whole thing. The DB2 diagnosis sealed the whole package. Steele cut oats are a slow burning whole grain carb which is good for that condition and I'm just not a brown rice fan so....here we are. Also the steel cut have a flavor and more robust texture that rolled oats can't produce and I can't have rolled oats either because they lose the whole grain slow burn that steel cut has.The more processed the easier and faster it converts to sugar which equals bad.I found a way and it worked out well.:angel:
Wife made up her simple, but super tasty cheeseburger pie for supper.
