For Saturday, please take a look at this article about oatmeal. I think many, if not most of us, eat oatmeal in one form or another. But how many of us know about its benefits?www.health.com/nutrition/is-oatmeal-healthyAnd here's its title: Is Oatmeal Healthy? Here’s what a Nutritionist wants you to know
Did you learn anything new from reading this one?

I learned about the specific kind of fiber in oatmeal (beta-glucan) - had not read or heard about that before.
I was reminded that I should make some steel cut oats for the freezer (I use the crock pot for those). Also reminded that overnight oats are good in summer when it's hot outside...more appealing than hot cereal when the weather is hot.
My mom always used oatmeal in meatloaf - good idea in the article to use in meatballs, maybe burgers to try to sub for bread crumbs.

I knew quite a bit about how oats are good for us, but the article went into much more detail about the nutrients and different ways oatmeal helps our bodies. So yes, I did learn more things about oats. I used to eat oatmeal more often for breakfast, then I got into more of a habit of eating whole wheat toast, peanut butter, and fruit. Just recently I decided to go back to eating oatmeal more often.
Edited to add that I have also used oats in meat loaf but I haven't made it that way for a long time. I don't make meatloaf very often.

Nothing truly new to me BUT good information and ideas. I have swapped oats for bread crumbs in tuna patties and other vegan/vegetarian patties.
I have strted having grains more (including oatmeal) for breakfast since I am doing Purple and they are zero points. Funny how they were NOT eaten on Blue or when they cost points.

Always so informative to read these articles. I use a lot of oatmeal in cooking, meat loaf, baked oatmeal is a favorite. I didn't realize this staple was all this healthy!! There is nothing more filling & soothing on a cold winter morning, than a bowl of hot oatmeal.
