Pretty Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This wasn't quite creamy enough for me. Next time, I'll cook it in milk. I used golden apple raisins and homemade... strawberry-rhubarb jam. Read more

This was deliious! I'm not a fan of dried cherries, they are a tad sour for me so I added just a tiny bit of Spenda Brown... Sugar to balance out the tartness. Thanks for the great recipe.Read more

Super Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Bless her heart, Ellie did it again! I don't normally eat oatmeal because of the texture but I saw this recipe in my inbox... and had to try it (that healthy eating thing, you know) and I loved it...loved the texture, the flavors, yum cherries...loved how quickly it came together. I work 3rd shift so anything that is easy AND tasty wins. Definitely a keeper in my recipe box!Read more
