Monday Monday Monday

Well it seems my Monday wants to kill me. I really need to cross stitch this little project in the pic above. I say this all the time and I absolutely get so excited when I finally get thyme to grow from seed.

Its actually nice outside right how with temps around 60 but I see tomorrow our high is 42. Oh well it is winter time, I actually raised a window in each room and opened the front and back doors to let air flow through. Its a bit windy so I am washing some rugs and the dogs beddings so they can dry outside before the rain comes in.

I made the instant oatmeal yesterday and the hubby ate some and said it was pretty good. I think I made enough to last us for at least 2 weeks. Its so easy too, You just have to measure 1/2 mix in your bowl and add hot water from your kettle. You could also add cold water and place the bowl with oats in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. I made mine in the blender and it really blends. My oats are more like oat flour. I may use to food processor next time so they dont get as ground.

Instant oatmeal

5 cups old fashioned oats

1 tsp salt

1 cup of sugar or brown sugar. I used brown and you can use more or less depending on your taste.

2 cups of powdered milk

Grind the oats and powdered milk together, pour in a large bowl and add the other ingredients. Mix well.

Add ins

 To two cups of mix add the following

Strawberries and cream......grind 1.2 oz freeze dried strawberries with 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips then mix with the 2 cups of oat mixture.

Cinnamon raisin....Add 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 cup of raisins to oat mix.

Banana Nut..... Grind dehydrated bananas with almonds or walnuts and add to oat mix.

Other flavors you may add in are apples, either add apple sauce to the mix when you add the hot water or chop fresh apples. You could add your favorite jelly to it too.

The plants are doing great. I cut some of the rashish sprouts, in the little blue container the other day for our tacos. I also cut a few of the onion sprouts. The larger container in the back is Alfalfa sprout and we will be using some of them later in the week. I also plan on starting another few containers this evening so we dont run out.

I hope your Monday is running smoother than mine. Without a rough start to our Mondays we wouldnt appreciate our Tuesdays very much.   I hope to have a few cleaning recipes for you tomorrow.
