Oatmeal pudding

"Oatmeal pudding" is a name I've given to this. If you like oatmeal, you'll find this appealing. If not, you probably won't.

Oatmeal pudding starts with making oatmeal for breakfast one day. Put 2 cups of water in a pot, and bring to a boil. Add some salt -- probably 1/2 teaspoon. When the water boils, throw in some oats -- quick or old-fashioned. Add a tablespoon of cottage cheese, 3 teaspoons of brown sugar, a little honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. When it's all boiling, let cook for couple of minutes. Then turn the heat off, and let the oatmeal sit covered for a few minutes. Eat with milk, and enjoy.

What's left over becomes the pudding. Put it in a covered container and refrigerate.

The cool oatmeal mixture will have a pudding-like texture. It's good for breakfast, especially with hot tea or coffee. And for those who fret about their cholesterol, it's another way to get oats into your diet. But I just like the taste. : )
