For Dinner:  Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps. Delicious!

For Dinner yesterday: Baked Oatmeal. This has become a favorite. Since we don’t get up in time to cook it for breakfast we often have it for dinner. I’ve included the recipe because I think my little Niece, Rita, that was thrown out the window today might enjoy it. Click here to read the story!

Baked Oatmeal
serves 2-3 adults (recipe can easily be multiplied - see note below)
1 ½ cups quick oats
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix ingredients together and pour into a greased 9" square baking dish (or an 11x7 dish, or a deep dish pie plate when multiplying). Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes. Be careful to not crowd your baking dish, this oatmeal puffs up a bit while baking. Eat plain or add toppings of your choice.

Wii Update: We’ve held hostage a few of my student’s games. Marvin is getting into it! We are looking forward to getting some new games via Adam… Adam this is a reminder to keep your eye out. You only have a week left to purchase :)

Countdown: Betsy and Kari will be arriving next Wednesday at 10:30! Then the real fun begins!

  2. Well, Lindsay eating oatmeal with cinnamon? It sounds good, I will try it. I don' know that anyone else here will - maybe I can cut the recipe in half!

  5. seriously, do you put the cinnamon in? I can't imagine that.

    Walker would love it, he requests "oats" for breakfast a few times a week, I can only imagine how thrilled he would be if we had it for dinner sometime...

    love that snowy pic of Marvin!

  6. the real recipe called for 1 whole teaspoon of cinnamon... i cut it to 1/2 and maybe even a little less than that!
