What says love on a cold night more than a hot steamy bowl of oatmeal? Well, it's been cold here again, so for supper tomorrow night, we are going to try a new spin on oatmeal...how about some Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal? Honestly, there's not that much to it, but I thought it sounded pretty yummy. The idea was on the Taste of Home website. Not only does it sound great but it's a pretty frugal dish to make. Add some toast on the side and we're done! This is also great for me because Monday's are SO hectic at work. It really is nice to have something quick on Monday's...then I don't mind cooking the rest of the week! And hey, not only is it quick, but it's definitely in the spirit of the American Frugal Housewife!
What's your quick fix for hectic Monday's?
