We love oatmeal around these parts.  The kids love it, I love it.  My eyes perk up any time I see a recipe with oats in it.  And, that’s a good, seeing as how I have hundreds of pounds of it in my food storage room.  I better have more than just a few ideas of what to do with it!  Here’s just ONE of them…
I found this recipe for Baked Oatmeal, and it’s great!  It is so easy to throw together, and I love how it makes enough to feed a small family.  My kids love those little oatmeal packet things, but I think I converted them, when I made this.

All you have to do is mix 1/2 cup melted butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 eggs in a bowl.  Add 2 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp. salt, and 3 cups Old Fashioned oats.  Did you catch that last part??  Use the old fashioned kind, not quick oats…it tastes better and adds a bit of chewiness.  Yum.

Dump everything in a sprayed 9×13 dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Serve hot with brown sugar and milk.  Of course, there’s a ton of different toppings you could add, instead of brown sugar:  blueberries, raisins, strawberries, peaches, cinnamon apples, etc.  Also, the brown sugar in the recipe can be substituted for 1 cup of white sugar.  It just depends on the taste you’re going for. 🙂
