Tips 'n Tails

Oats are a good source of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. They make a comforting filler if feeding raw or cooked with meat and vegetables. Pour 5 oz (150 g) of oats into a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Leave to soften and cool. Mix the softened oats with meat or fish and a handful of blended vegetables to create a warming winter dinner.
