I'll share this one just because its a family favorite and my absolute favorite prerun nutrition. Simple and delicious. 4 cups water 1/2 tsp salt 1/2-1 tsp cinnamon 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal (not the instant stuff) 1 granny smith apple (diced) 1/2 cup raisins (optional) 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 1/3 cup brown sugar Bring the water and diced apple to a full boil (this is critical as if you add the oatmeal too early it gets gummy). Add the salt and cinnamon and oatmeal and raisins. Boil for a couple of minutes. Add the brown sugar. You may need to add a little more water or a little more oatmeal for consistency). Cook together on medium heat about 5 minutes total until it absorbs the water. The oatmeal should be firm, not mushy.

mmmmm, yummy! i normally leave the fruit out for my "Special Porridge" and add vanilla extract

For all you chocolate lovers! 1 cup of oatmeal tablespoon of nutella. mix it and cook.
