Dinner Ideas Main National Food Days

NATIONAL OATMEAL MONTH

Admin Test

Oatmeal is one of those foods which we think of as a Breakfast Item, but it has many more uses than just that for Breakfast.  Even though Oatmeal makes a wonderfully satisfying and nutritious breakfast, start thinking about it in other terms.  In other words, what Oatmeal can and should be used for besides a breakfast cereal.

 

Here are some of the things that I use Oatmeal for:

 

#1 is probably what everyone thinks of as a use for Oatmeal besides breakfast and that is Oatmeal/Raisin Cookies.  Well, what about Oatmeal/Raisin Waffles.  Combining the Cookie and the Waffle in a newly delicious and nutritious breakfast. oatmeal-raisin-waffles/

Of course, the Oatmeal/Raisin Waffle is still a Breakfast Food but can be used for Lunch or Dinner as well.  And speaking of Dinner, how about using Oatmeal in your Meatloaf instead of Bread Crumbs.  It actually works much better because it absorbs a lots of moisture and helps to hold the Meatloaf together better than bread crumbs do.  Just substitute and equal amount of Oatmeal for the Bread Crumbs in your recipe.  ( I usually use about 1 cup of Oatmeal to 3 lbs. of ground meat.

 

Let’s not leave out the Cookies, though.  Here is a link to a kid-friendly  recipe for Oatmeal Cookies.

The next item that i use Oatmeal for is for part of the coating for Fried Chicken.  Try using my recipe – just substitute one cup of Oatmeal for 1 of the cups of Flour.  You will be surprised how good and crunchy it is.   /fried-chicken/
