Oatmeal on the Run

"Save money. Save time. Eat a good breakfast. Foolproof cooking while you shower and dress. McDonald’s oatmeal contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger AND 11 ingredient you would not keep in your kitchen."

directions

  • Fill a half pint (jelly jar) half full of oatmeal.
  • Add the goodies.
  • Pour boiling water to just below the threads.
  • Invert a few times,.
  • Let sit for at least15 minutes.
  • Add butter and milk if you want.
  • The texture will be a bit different that what you cook on the stove.
  • This can be made in a thermal container and it will stay hot much longer and results in a texture more like stovetop.
  • Obviously 1 pint jar is 2 servings, 1 quart is 4 servings.
  • Don't have a canning jar, use what you have. Fill it half full of oats and then top with boiling water after your goodies -- that's the trick.

  1. I love practical ideas like this. I think I'll put the dry mix in a thermal coffee mug, and take it on the plane with me. It will make it through the security check, and I'll have something on my restricted diet that I can eat when I travel =)

As I am in South Florida, I have many edible fruits and perennial veggies in my yard. So, I like to cook with them.
