Although a "throw and go" quiche is great and crepes and waffles are divine, there are times that you need something even simpler.
Oatmeal is nutritious, yummy and best of all requires no fridge space, no cheese shredding, veggie dicing OR baking!!
A couple of days ahead of time, line up your containers on the kitchen counter.
Place 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats into each container.
Sprinkle a couple shakes of sea salt onto the oatmeal.
Top with 1 Tbsp. brown sugar.
Mark each seam with a sharpie about a thumb's width from the lip of the container.
Place lids back on top and store.
You can leave them plain or add some fun touches...only if time allows!
Place directions into a frame and that is it!
The containers may be placed onto a tray or in a basket along with fresh cream and toppings...like dried cranberries, raisins, walnuts, coconut, dried pineapple, etc.!
OOOPS! Don't forget the boiling water in a large carafe or tea kettle!!
ANNNND, if you are not planning on hosting...they are fun to pack up for on-the -go mornings, spring picnics or to take to a friend for breakfast!
When time is short and I have wanted to take a meal to a new momma, I have taken this on several occasions. I think it was almost liked better than the chicken pot pie meal! :}
Okay. I think that is about it! The ideas are endless. Just keep it simple!
Have a lovely Monday...even if it is laundry day or the beginning of your work week!
What a great idea, Lisa. I love how you gussied up the containers. It's a great idea for gifts or for a to-go meal.thanks for such a cute, yet simply "do-able" idea. Paula R.
