For the March celebration of the Week of Love and the VMonologues, I presented on how to feed yourself easy, fast and nutritiously the Q/A was wonderful. I also served a breakfast of Oatmeal in a Jar. Oatmeal in a jar is a cute idea but for a large group not practical. When it is brilliant idea and technique is if you want to make a weeks worth of grab and go meals on your day off. We seem to be in a revival of how to do old fashioned fast. These fast techniques seem expensive and cumbersome. Go back to techniques, recipes and menues women used at home between 1920-1945. They had stoves, some had refrigerators and most had more than 5 children.
Mother-recipes, these are recipes that are proportions and one varies the presentation, and flavors with different ingredients. This is one of those Mother recipes. I researched the DIY oatmeal in a jar and experimented, for the best outcomes use Old Fashion Rolled Oats and milk/milk alternative in a 1/1 ratio. The half pint jar is enough oatmeal for most, although online all the recipes are using pts. I found that was a 2 day or 2 persons meal. To that add 1/2-1/3 cup of fruit, my favorite was 1 tbs dried raisins or cranberries and 1/3 cup finely diced apples, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp molasses. This tasted like my recipe and if making ahead toss the apples in 1 cup of water with 1/2 tsp of honey to keep them from turning dark. You leave this mixture in the refrigerator over night or for at least 4-6 hours. Longer, such as 5 days is okay. Remember nothing should remain in the refrigerator for more than 7 days and may items have a 3 day shelf life.

other great ideas for fast breakfast are hardboiled egg and an apple or banana, PB and fresh fruit, PBJ sandwich and milk or alternative.....cold pizza and other leftovers!!!
