47/365 a little blurry...


however it was 6am
and I am not much of a focuser
that early in the morning
AND it is so scrumptious who
needs to be able to clearly see it
as you can just close your eyes
smell it
and give it a little taste and say
mmm mmm good...

LOVE LOVE LOVE it apple pie overnight oatmeal

Seriously we have made this 4 times in the last 2 weeks
and everyone in this family loves it,
which is quite the accomplishment,
especially since it meets all
requirements of Operation Healthy Family.

the ingredients: steel cut oatmeal* (2 cups), water (8 cups), brown sugar (1/2 cup), vanilla ( 1 tsp) , cinnamon (1 tsp), raisins (1 cup), peeled, chopped green apple (2 medium)

PUT all of the above in your crock pot at bedtime (I put mine on around 11pm, cook until 7am or longer)

STIR

COVER

TURN ON the CROCKPOT

SET to LOW

GO TO BED

WAKE UP, stumble downstairs, grab a bowl and ENJOY

a SERVING in this house is 1 cup and we add 2 tbsp 1% milk

Recipe makes approx. 8-10 servings.

We eat it for leftovers for about 2 days (just heat it up in the microwave and add milk)

* make sure it is steel cut oatmeal as regular oatmeal will get mushy. I use Bob's Red Mill Organic Steel Cut Oatmeal. I just noticed it is now sold at Superstore in their new organic section at a better price than Safeway. Miranda used the Superstore brand and she is having slimy issues so I would recommend to stay away from that brand.
