I know i have read a recipe for baked oatmeal in the newsletter, but now I can't find it. i have been given 2 very large boxes of original oatmeal. The type that takes a while to cook. I figured if I could find the recipe for baked oatmeal that would be a way to use it. Any other ideas for recipes using oatmeal would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Sandy

Cheap Lunch and Snack Ideas for 4 Kids
I have 2 boys, ages 6 and 8. And, for the summer, I'm now babysitting my neighbor's 2 sons as well; ages 3 and 8.
I've been trying to come up with some ideas to help me stretch my pennies while feeding all these kids. (Breakfast, Lunch, & snacks). I prefer quick and simple foods, but most the time, that's not the cheapest route. Even though I buy everything store brand or even use coupons, it's still way over my budget. There's got to be other things besides corndogs, hotdogs, pizza, chips, little debbies, fruit snacks, etc.
I also would like some ideas for any activities for us during the day to keep them active and structured. (like games, not video games, contests, arts & crafts, projects, etc.)
Thanks in advance for any advice you offer!

This was always my Mom's favorite quick supper. She was a teacher who often didn't have alot of time after school to plan a meal for the five of us. We all loved it! It is a quick and easy supper for 4-5 people. It requires only 4 ingredients and they are staples that almost everyone always has on hand. It "seasons" itself and really does taste like pizza. Serve with a tossed salad for a healthy full meal!
