Irish Oats -- Who knew Oatmeal could be this good?

Irish Oats with Berries, Pineapple, Pecans, Brown Sugar and Milk

I have never been a fan of the Oatmeal in the cardboard canister...unless of course I am using them to make a crisp or something sweet.  Being a texture gal, Oatmeal never tripped my trigger...that is of course until I discovered McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oats.  I noticed their website even has a $1 coupon for them. Do you need any more incentive to make this?  This is one of my favorite and healthiest breakfasts -- Irish Steel Cut Oats.  I prefer to use McCann's Steel Cut Oats  the chewy, thick, warm, texture is perfect comfort food for everyday, anyday.  When my sister Renee visited recently this is what we had for breakfast.  That time we topped the Irish Steel Cut Oats with Banana's, Toasted Walnuts, Brown Sugar and CREAM!  Oh yeah, that was good.  You can mix and match whatever fruit, nuts and sweetener you like...that reminds me, maple syrup is good instead of Brown Sugar.  One key is to toast the nuts.  Don't skimp on this step, it is the difference between average and sublime.
