Good 4 U Oatmeal

dollaradaymeals.com

Oatmeal is one of the most nutritious and least expensive whole grains!  Serve this breakfast with spiced sugar, fruit, yogurt.

1/3 c. dry quick oats**

1 to 2 T. dry milk powder

couple dashes sea salt

1 T. sugar (a bit of nutmeg and ginger can be added, if desire a spiced sugar)

___________________

up to 3/4 c. water (depends on how thick or creamy you want it)

raisins and cinnamon (optional, and according to taste)

Mix oats, dry milk, salt, and sugar in a bowl.  Add water,  stir.  Microwave on high for 90 seconds; stir.  Let sit two or three minutes to thicken.  Makes one serving.

Non-microwave method:  Heat water to a full rolling boil; pour over oatmeal mixture; stir.  Allow to sit about 3 minutes.  Stir again, serve.

**a serving of oatmeal is usually 1/4 cup. Except for small children,     I don't think that is enough;  plus (and it is a huge plus) oatmeal is an  inexpensive  healthy  grain. Don't even hesitate to have an even larger portion than 1/3 cup,  oatmeal costs around 5 cents per one  dry cup!
