Overnight Steel-Cut Oatmeal

Yesterday in Indiana, Hurricane Sandy gave us her last dregs in the form of icy pellets that made our Tuesday cold and miserable.  The only way to deal with this kind of shocking cold is to make shockingly warm food.  Accordingly, we turned up the fall music (try White Winter Hynmal by Fleet Foxes) and warmed the house with some tasty oatmeal.

Overnight Steel-Cut Oatmeal: 

Ingredients:

3/4 cups steel-cut oats
3 cups water

Instructions:

In a 1 1/2 to 3 quart slow cooker, combine oats and water.

Stir well and scoop into serving bowls.

 Cold Morning? Vanquished.
