Introduction

I saw the Italian cook (Gena??) on the Today Show while I was at physical therapy (I do not normally get to watch daytime TV). She mentioned that she has oatmeal with a little olive oil. I thought "Hmmm. THAT's different! Savory Oatmeal?" So I tried it. Oh and I added some very sharp cheddar cheese. And I LOVE it! It kinda tastes like a rich mac and cheese, but it is healthy! And FAST, cuz' I cook it in the microwave. Tonight is the third night I had it and I love it for dinner with veggies.
