NOTE: many foods you have stored in #10 cans, when opened, need to be put into a large glass bowl, cover with a clean cloth, let sit 24 hours....this removes the tin can smell.....

The oatmeal our family uses most often is Quick Oatmeal, although we keep a small supply of **rolled oats also. Oatmeal is very inexpensive, and a healthy whole grain. The oatmeal needed

for a normal breakfast cereal will usually cost about 3 to 6 cents per serving; it will depend upon

your purchase decisions. Always hunt for the very best price in bulk for day to day use. And for 

long term storage, we like to go with the #10 cans because storage life is 30 years under proper storage conditions.

​

​

Things we make with quick oatmeal:
 

Oatmeal milk
Oatmeal pancakes
Instant oatmeal cereal
Oatmeal cereal with peanut butter
Oatmeal cereal with raisins or craisins
Oatmeal applesauce cereal

Oatmeal with fresh fruit in season

Apple cinnamon oatmeal
Baked oatmeal
Oatmeal bread / rolls / buns

**We like to use rolled oats for these classic cookies

​

**Another recipe using rolled oats: I saw a similar version to my "Chicken-Fried Dinner Patties" on

a site, but made with rolled oats and called 'steaks', look it up on The Prudent Homemaker.
