Wed-8-Oct-2008 - Recipe for Baked Oatmeal
My youngest is snarfing it down as I type. 
Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE to sit at the feet of women who have bunches of children? Because for one thing, they wouldn't think I was crazy to be day-dreaming about a *gasp* 4th child, and they have so much wisdom that they have collected over the years. Frugal ideas, too. And I love frugal!
I have this theory, see, that if you take care of what God has already given you, it shows graditude and appreciation. While we are all recipents of undeserved blessings at times, I feel like it would be really inappropriate to mis-use what I've been given now and expect more.
So, I try to take care of the money God has blessed us with, and to make my household budget go as far as possible, even as we add people to the family.
I got my baked oatmeal recipe from a mom of fourteen. Who can't use a money saving menu idea?
Baked Oatmeal
1 & 1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter or cooking oil
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
I put this in a greased 8x8 pan, but if you want it thinner you can cook it in a 9x13. Place in a oven heated to 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Now, I know my Jonathan would like this in milk, but I ate it "strait" and so did Elijah. I might mix up Samuel's with a bit of milk so he can eat it with a spoon. It also tastes like it would go great with yogurt, if you're into that kind of thing. It resembles, in a chewier form, the packaged granolas that my second mama buys at the store.
Samuel is awake now and has given his stamp of approval as well.
I know what I'm making Saturday morning!
