  1. Anyone?! I am like the only oatmeal hater in the world? Cause I sure feel like I am. Every single person I know [both online and offline] likes oatmeal. I can barely stomach it! I hate the smell, the texture, the taste, and even the way it looks. I really don't know what people see in oatmeal, but I make some amazing oats for my parents, especially my mom as she is a diabetic.

  2. I used to hate it earlier. It felt like I'm swallowing vomit! But now I like it specifically if you make different varieties! Try masala oats you might like it

  3. Hey Tina!
    I love oats and so does my 3.5 year old. I started to have them as well to lose some weight but I developed a taste for them and now they are a part of my regular diet .
    this is a good recipe , maybe more people would get encouraged to try it out.
