Now that it's getting colder in the mornings, we've been more in the mood for something hot and yummy for breakfast. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a morning person and the thought doing anything more than pouring a bowl of cereal or popping something in the toaster is more than I can handle in my state of delirium. So, when I came across this idea for instant oatmeal on a blog (so sorry I forgot which one, or else I would link it), I jumped at the chance to try it. This is sooooo much tastier than packaged instant oatmeal, is super convenient, and costs less.
Place the following in a snack size Ziploc bag:
1/3 cup quick cook oats
1 T brown sugar (or however much you want)
Dried cranberries, cherries, blueberries, etc.
Chopped walnuts or slivered almonds
When you're ready to cook it on a chilly morning, just pour the contents of one bag into a bowl, add 2/3 cup milk or water, and microwave for 1 minute. Voila! Super yummy oatmeal made super quick despite a super state of sleepiness.

This is what I had for breakfast today! It is truly a life-saving "recipe" to have when I decide to snooze just one time too long in the morning. I need to make Aaron some of these "to go" packs so he will eat breakfast. Tasty tasty!
