Directions

Cooking Directions:

Irish Porridge:

Into four cups of briskly boiling water sprinkle one cup of oatmeal, stirring well. When the porridge is smooth and beginning to thicken, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Traditionally served with fresh buttermilk, Irish porridge is also good with milk or cream and brown sugar or honey, or with butter.

Short Cut to Steel Cuts Method:

Boil four cups of water in a pot. Add 1 cup of steel cut oats and simmer 1 minutes. Cover pot and store overnight in refrigerator. The next morning cook the oatmeal in low for 9-12 minutes; stirring occasionally. This recipe makes 4 servings. For thicker oatmeal, use less water.

3 Edible Plants to Nourish Your Body Inside and Out

Crunching through fresh snow; ice skating across frozen ponds; sipping apple cider next to a crackling fire -- the cold weather sure brings its own magic. But, it also brings with it some frustrating health and wellness challenges – namely, dry skin, cold and flu season, and extra stress.

To keep your winter magical, your body has to be strong enough to withstand the rigors of the season. Besides getting enough rest and exercise, nourishing your body is the biggest step you can take to make sure your winter is more ho ho ho than cough cough cough.

If you’re looking for some extra support, check out this list of three edible plants that offer total-body benefits – from the inside out.

Soothing sore throats^†

3. Oats

Though technically a part of the oat plant, whole, rolled oats are so packed with benefits, they deserve a spot on this list!

Helping support healthy cholesterol levels^†
