Receta I’ve Got a Spurtle
I’ve Got a Spurtle
Yesterday afternoon, one of my favorite guys in the whole world showed up at work and said … (I LOVE these words)…”One for you”. It was the UPS man! AHHHHH! I got a package!
I knew immediately who it was from. My friends at Bob’s Red Mill. They sent me some Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats, my absolute weekday breakfast favorite.
That wasn’t all. In the box was a Spurtle. I had never heard of such a thing!
A Spurtle is a traditional Scottish porridge stirring stick used to stir the oats as they softened in the pot.
Since I KNEW you’d want to know more, here it is: THE SPURTLE.
Another plus in the box was the recipe for Oregon Orchard Oats Brulee. That will be on my to-do list. For now, here is my standard recipe for weekday oats.
Most people enjoy their oats a lot creamier than I do. If you’re one of them, add some fat free milk to oats just before simmering. You can also add a TBS of yogurt after the oats are cooked.
If you like sweeter oats: A sprinkle of brown sugar on top. Agave syrup, maple syrup, or honey (1 tsp). Personally, if I’m feeling a need for sweeter oats, I add 1 TBS natural peanut butter.
The morning routine which made me SO deserving of that wonderful bowl of healthy oats was:
60 minute treadmill run. I couldn’t bring myself to run outside in the cold that early.
23 minutes shoulder workout with cable machine and weights. Abs in between sets.
3.55 mile jog with Shane.
