Deck Sliding

I say as most mothers do "what are you doing outside without shoes?" Noah says, "because we can't slide across the deck with shoes on auntie."

Oatmeal To Go

My husband took a bite and said "Wow honey, these are actually good". So I will gladly share the recipe with you. I'm sure using brown sugar helped though.

Oatmeal muffins

2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
1 cup Hot milk or Hot water
2 tbls butter or oil
1/3 cup brown sugar (I'm going to try sucanat next time)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

1. Combine oats with hot milk or water and butter or oil. let sit for about 15 minutes to cook a little.
2. Combine rest of ingredients and then add to oat mixture.
3. Divide evenly into muffin tin. Use liners or grease your pan first. (or get a USA muffin pan and you don't have to grease or use liners.)
4. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes

Note: I only got 9 small muffins out of this batch. I think you could double it and have larger muffins.

Additional notes: I now double this recipe and get 12 good sized muffins. I also found that they should be kept in the refrigerator if not eaten within two days.
