INGREDIENTS TO MAKE MICROWAVE OATMEAL

1 cup water
1 dash salt
1⁄2 cup rolled oats
1⁄4 cup dried cherries
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

In a dish or pot that can be used in the microwave, combine the ingredients. Stir after two minutes and twenty seconds in the microwave. If “watery,” nuke for ten to fifteen seconds.

Step 2

***Note #1: I frequently use any fresh fruit that is on hand, such as diced apples, bananas, fresh peaches, etc.

Step 3

***Note #2: Dried fruit like raisins, cherries, blueberries, etc. are another ingredient I enjoy using. Depending on the size of the fruit and the predicted moisture content, I like to microwave dried fruit in a small amount of water to cover for about two minutes.

Step 4

Note #3: If any water remains after nuking dried fruit, do not drain. Then proceed after adding the additional ingredients to the saucepan.

Step 5

Note #4: I don’t measure anything else but the water and oats.
