Homemade instant oatmeal - I have to share this!

[DesertFlower]

I just made some homemade instant oatmeal, and I'm so excited about! Cheaper, healthier, and environmentally-friendly (no individual packets). It's really easy, just put in a blender or food processor 2-3 parts oats and blend until fine. Put in a bowl, and add 1 part fine cut oats, some raisins or other dried fruits, nuts, cinnamon, cane sugar, or whatever else you enjoy in your oatmeal. Mix together and put in a jar. To prepare, put some mixture in a bowl, boil water, pour over oatmeal (more if you like your oatmeal thin, less if you like it thick), mix well, and let sit until it's cool enough to eat, and TA-DA! Instant oatmeal!

This is the only way I will eat oatmeal. I just grind it in a spice grinder and add it to boiling water for a minute or two. I like it with butter, brown sugar and a little milk or cream. It's what I had for breakfast this morning.

You know, I'm amazed at how many people don't think about this, or that I haven't thought of it before! It's so simple, but many people don't know it...
Anyways, I'm excited!
