Bring water and salt to boil. Add oats and stir frequently for two minutes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Granola This recipe calls for lots of ingredients. As some of these items might be hard to find at times, you can consider all the items below the vanilla as optional. Make up the volume of what you don't have with extra rolled oats. However, it is much better with everything. This recipe can stand lots of substitutions. * 10 cups rolled oats * 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed * 1 1/2 cup water * 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil * 1/2 cup honey * 1 1/2 teaspoon salt * 2 teaspoons cinnamon * 3 teaspoons vanilla * 1 cup wheat germ * 1/2 lb. shredded coconut * 2 cups raw sunflower seed * 1 cup sesame seeds * 3 cups chopped almonds, pecans, walnuts or a combination of all of them. * 1/2 cup molasses (If you are going to sub. here, add same amount of sugar or honey.) * Raisins, if desired Mix dry ingredients. In another pan combine the brown sugar, water, oil, honey, molasses, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Heat until sugar is dissolved but do not boil. Pour syrup over the dry ingredients and stir until well coated. Place in pans or sheets. Bake 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Bake 15 minutes longer if you want it crunchier. This keeps 6 months. Makes 20 cups. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whole Wheat Pancakes * 3 cups whole wheat flour or substitute one cup with white flour. * 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar * 1/2 cup powdered milk * 1 tablespoon baking powder * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 egg or 1 tablespoon egg powder * 3 tablespoons oil Mix dry ingredients. Add water and mix. Add egg and oil, mix well. Add a little water to make it the right consistency, then fry them up. Note: The recipe needs the milk and sugar to help the pancakes brown up nicely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maple Syrup Recipe This is about the easiest thing to fix there is, and makes good syrup to boot. Even I can do it! * 1 cup water * 2 cups sugar * 1 or 2 teaspoons of Maple Extract Pour sugar into a small pan. Slowly pour water on top. Turn stove on high. No need to stir. After mixture starts to boil, check to see if all the sugar granules are dissolved. If they aren't, boil it for another 15-20 seconds. Pull off heat and pour a bit of maple extract into it. It's ready for use. It also stores well in the cupboard. Don't put it in the refrigerator or it will start to re-crystalize. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Treat Recipe This breakfast meal is a little different - somewhere between oatmeal and granola. But it's really good and easy to fix. * 3 cups quick cooking oats * 1 cup packed brown sugar * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1 teaspoon salt * 1 cup milk (can be reconstituted milk) * 1/2 cup melted margarine or butter * 2 eggs, beaten (or equivalent powdered eggs and water) Mix together and pour into a 9 inch square greased pan.

Try this, or when next you make oatmeal for breakfast make plenty of extra. I put my oatmeal in a square freezer box to the depth of about 3 inches. Mash down. Freeze. To use, take out of freezer and let it set on the counter for about 15 to 20 minutes until it is just firm enough to cut with a sharp knife or electric knife. Cut into slices, such as you would with SPAM, about 1/4 inch thick. Lightly coat with flour. Spray skillet with PAM or equivalent. Lightly brown each side of the slice of oatmeal and allow to warm through. Don't walk away. Serve with pancake syrup and powdered sugar or a spoonful of brown sugar or nuts sprinkled over top. You can also do this with just refrigerating the oatmeal, but the freezer method gives nice firm slices. No electricity? In the frozen north, just set the oatmeal outside overnight and it'll freeze up. This recipe also works with leftover cornmeal mush. Not so brave? Try putting a spoonful of leftover oatmeal into your next loaf of bread, it adds moisture. Even less brave? Let it cool down and then let man's best friend eat your leftover oatmeal. They love it. Waste not, Want not! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chocolate Pancakes Recipe Ingredients: * 2 cups baking mix - can be reduced fat * 1/3 cup dry powdered milk * 2 T. cocoa powder * 2 T. sugar * 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, substitute large chips or leave out, I've used nuts before. To use entire mix, add 1 cup water and 2 eggs. To use only half, use 1 1/2 cups dry mix, 1/2 cup plus 2 T. water and 1 egg. If you are using dried eggs, add corresponding amount of water to reconstitute the egg product to equal 1 egg. 1/2 mix will make 12 small pancakes.
