tortilla chips

Easy to Make Homemade Oatmeal

by Rob Malloy

If you’ve ever bought Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal (you know, with the individual serving packets) you probably felt you were paying too much for what you got. I know I did, so I developed this little recipe.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/8 to 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 TB raisins
1/3 cup hot water, or more, for thinner cereal

Directions:
All you need to do is put the dry ingredients in a bowl, add hot water and stir. If you want to make a lot of servings and store them, just put the dry ingredients in zip-lock sandwich bags, seal, and store–it will keep forever. No more overpriced oatmeal!

by Febrina Malloy

Ingredients:
2 cups oatmeal
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup oat bran or flaked coconut
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup honey or corn syrup
2 TB vegetable oil or peanut oil
1 TB imitation vanilla, not extract
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or peanuts
1/4 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds, optional

Directions:
1. Measure the first five items into large bowl and stir well.
2. Measure honey, oil and vanilla into glass measuring cup. Heat in microwave (or in pan of hot water) just until honey is very warm and no longer thick. Do not let mixture boil.
3. Pour over the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until all of it is moistened and no large lumps remain.
4. Spread out on a 10 x 15 pan and bake at 250° F for about 20 minutes, turning over and stirring with a spatula after the first 10 minutes.
5. Add raisins, nuts and any seeds just before 20 minutes are up. Turn off oven and allow to remain until nuts are heated through, perhaps 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, stir well and allow to cool. Store in air tight jar.

7. For a buffet, spread into 8" square Pyrex or Corningwear dish and serve warm or room temperature. For the family, spoon over toast or English muffins.

Old Time Egg Pancake

by Michael Malloy

This recipe, which is adapted from one given to us by a family friend, makes a breakfast treat that’s halfway between a pancake and an omelette. It puffs into fantastic shapes as it cooks, and then subsides as it cools.

2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 TB margarine or butter

Directions:
1. Lightly coat bottom and sides of oven-proof skillet, or 8x8 square pan with non-stick cooking spray, then add margarine or butter. Place skillet or pan in oven and preheat to 400°.
2. Beat eggs slightly and add milk, flour and salt and combine with a rotary beater until smooth. Pour into hot skillet or pan and bake, uncovered, for 17-20 minutes, until center is set and edges golden brown. Serve hot with honey or jam, or sprinkle with lemon juice and powdered sugar.
