Microwave Baked Oatmeal



Mornings... Some of us love mornings, and we hit the ground running..
Some of us don't like morning as well.. We want to wake up leisurely, we don't want to have a conversation for at least the first hour...
And no matter if you love or don't love mornings, as a mom, chances are you will have to learn to live with 'the other kind'.
I love mornings... My husband doesn't..
2 of my children love mornings and 2 wake up very slowly!!!!
So mornings can sound pretty hairy in our home..
Add lunches and healthy breakfast and by the time everyone is safely delivered to school I feel like I've accomplished a full marathon!!
Healthy breakfast... It doesn't have to be time consuming..
Here is our family's favorite:
Baked Oatmeal:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
 
Whip butter, sugar and eggs with wire wisk in glass or microwavable bowl.
Add:
 
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed
  • 3/4 cup milk
Stir until mixed together well and microwave for 5 min. stir and microwave for 5-7 min more.
serve with ice cold milk.
Even more delicious when served with fresh fruit!!
 
Keep left overs in refrigerator a sealed container and reheat or serve cold the next morning.  
 
Don't like the taste of ground flax seed? buy a small electric coffee mill and buy your whole flax seed and grind them right before you use them.. (flax contains lots of oil and turns rancid quickly, the taste of pre-ground flax seed is a lot stronger than the mild taste of fresh ground flax seed!

                                                Staci and her Owl n lolipop tree fleece that she chose. When Daddy calls home from work and says he'll be an hour late my heart sinks.  But then I realize that Dinner is ready and waiting, The house is cleaned up for Daddy's arrival, and the kids are busy playing. This means Quality crafting time!!  And I have A pile of fleece just waiting for me to dive into!! Here's how to make your own fleece bed sheet: Wash and dry your fleece on normal cycle to pre shrink it. You will need: (For a single bed) 2.5yds of 55in wide fabric (I used Blizzard Fleece) Jo-Anns Fabric 2 yds of 1/4 inch elastic matching thread The tricky part about full and queen sheets is that no one wants a seam right down the middle of their bed.. so we will put the seams at the side of the mattress using a full piece with no seam over the TOP of the mattress. For a full Bed: 4 yds fleece. 2 2/3yds of 1/4 inch
