OVERNIGHT STEEL CUT OATS

i really like the consistency of steel cut oats and all the nutrition that it comes with. the preparation, however, is tasking and i'd love to say that it's a labor of love that's worth it in the end, but i just don't have the time in the morning. so, when i found a recipe on thekitchn.com, i couldn't resist trying it. it has been very successful and the steel cut oats taste like i made them that morning, even if it's been a few days in the fridge.

• 1 2/3 c steel cut oats
• 4 c water
• large pinch of salt

bring oats, water, & salt to a boil. simmer for 3 minutes, then turn off heat.

ladle oats & water into pint-sized mason jars. cover the jars tightly with their caps & rings. leave on the counter overnight.

the next morning put all but one jar into the fridge. stir the oatmeal in the jar and heat in the microwave for 2-3 mins. add in your favorite mix-ins (such as brown sugar, almonds, etc).
