Trader Joe's Steel Cut Oats

I have never liked oatmeal.  The consistency is sort of gross to me.  When I heard Oprah talk about steel cut oats I decided to give them a try again.  The best thing I can say, it's edible. For some reason I did not find it easy to make. The length of time needed to cook it, made controlling the temperature difficult. So I probably haven't had any for at least a couple of years.

At Trader Joe's recently I noticed this product:


For some reason, I decided to try it again, especially since it was precooked and frozen.  The package had two servings in it and if I remember correctly cost $1.99.  And  was ready to eat in 2-3 minutes.  It was flavored with brown sugar and maple syrup so it wasn't just bland oatmeal. 


The finished product looked like this.  My opinion of this product is favorable and I will try it again.  It is kind of expensive but, for me, it would be just an occasional treat.  I don't hate oatmeal anymore!!                                                                             

I can, I will!!
