Instant oatmeal is for disabled grandmothers. Make oatmeal stove-top and PUT cinnamon and/or maple syrup in it. Tastes waaaay better.

Agreed. Instant stuff is crap. The best oatmeal in LA is served for breakfast at the Peninsula in Beverly Hills; the downside is that it will cover all your nutritional needs for about a week.

The best oatmeal you can buy to make at home is called "The Silver Palate - Thick and Rough Oatmeal". Anything else pales in comparison and shouldn't even be called oatmeal.

If you want to put on several pounds in just a few days I recommend that you eat oatmeal every morning.
