As much oatmeal as I've made over the years, I've never thought of making my own pre-made mix! This is a really good combination to have on hand for busy mornings. The only thing I think it needs is some salt...I'd start with 1/4 teaspoon. My husband likes his sweeter, so he added some Splenda too. Craisins, raisins, bananas or apples make this superb! MERP'd for PAC Spring 2011.

<p>I never realized how easy it is to create restaraunt-quality dishes at home until I lived with my grandparents over one of my summer breaks from college. As soon as I got my first apartment (a year or so later), I started cooking and have been addicted ever since! I like to challenge myself with new ingredients and techniques. I'm big on research, and will spend hours learning the how to's of new ideas ahead of time, because there's nothing more depressing than making a disappointing meal! <br /><br />I've taken it upon myself to be in charge of Thanksgiving dinner for the past 5 years (I'm 27 now)...I enjoy the challenge, and think I put together a pretty darn good spread! :) <br /><br />My fiance and I both LOVE to eat good food, but although we won't deny ourselves some wings and a beer now and again, we try to eat pretty healthfully on a day-to-day basis.</p>
