Oatmeal muffins are made with the primary ingredient of oatmeal. Additional ingredients can be almost anything. Common ingredients are raisins, nuts, and chocolate chips. The level of sweetness can also vary greatly.
Oat groats are coarsely ground to make oatmeal, cut into small pieces to make steel-cut oats, or first steamed and then flattened to make rolled oats.
Quick-cooking rolled oats are cut into small pieces before being steamed and rolled. Instant oatmeal is pre-cooked and dried—generally with sweetener and flavoring added. Both types of rolled oats may be eaten uncooked as in Muesli or may be cooked to make porridge.
It is also used as an ingredient in oatmeal muffins, oatmeal cookies, oat cakes, as an accent (as in the topping on many oat bran breads), and the coating on Caboc cheese.
Oatmeal is also sometimes porridge with the bran or fibrous husk as well as the oat kernel or groat. In some countries rolled oats are eaten raw with milk and sugar or raisins. Oatmeal is also used as a thickening agent in savory Arabic/Egyptian thick meat plus vegetable soups.

Free Shipping Day - Today is Free Shipping Day! In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
Free Shipping Day is a one-day event held annually in mid-December. On this promotional holiday, consumers can shop from both large and small online merchants that offer free shipping with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve.
Free Shipping Day was started in 2008 by Luke and Maisie Knowles, founders of FreeShipping.org, in an effort to extend the online shopping season. Statistics at the time showed online shopping peaked on Cyber Monday, generally held the week immediately following Black Friday. Consumers believed they would not receive their online orders in time for Christmas after that date.
The first event was created in two weeks by Knowles. Several hundred merchants participated and media attention was unusually high.
In 2009, more than 750 retailers participated, with 350,000 plus sales taking place through the official site www.FreeShippingDay.com. Merchant participation has more than doubled each subsequent year.
