Put some cheddar on it!

Today I made a pot of steel cut oatmeal and started mixing delicious things from the cupboard into it. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, dried currants, almond meal, vanilla, and dates. It was bound to be delicious, but also rather boring. Haven't I made this oatmeal before?

I racked my brain for a way to make this oatmeal different. Still delicious, but also creative and inventive. White cheddar! I love cheese platters that pare different cheeses with dried fruits and nuts. So why not grate some cheddar into this oatmeal?

The result was phenomenally good. Warm and sweet, with that rich sharp taste of Vermont cheddar.
