I'm about to throw this together before I get my kids ready for bed and stick it in the fridge overnight to bake in the morning. It's so easy, I make this once a week, on the same day. You can top it with milk or yogurt if you want. Maybe someone else is looking for quick, semi- healthy breakfast ideas like I always am?


1/2 c. oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. brown sugar
3 c. oats
2 t. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1 c. milk

Mix oil, eggs and sugar until well blended. Add other ingredients and mix well. Place in a greased 8x8 or a 9x13 pan (will be thick or thin depending). Cover and put in fridge overnight, take out 10 minutes before baking - bake uncovered 350 for 35 minutes.

This is a recipe I found recently to use in place of the REAL maple syrup that I miss so much from back home. It has worked great for our pancakes...


1 C. Brown Sugar
3/4 C. Water
1 t. Maple Flavoring (can use Vanilla if needed)

Mix water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and
simmer for 15 minutes, don't let it burn.
Add Maple flavoring and chill.

Homemade BBQ sauce

Here's my recipe for BBQ sauce. I use it in any of my recipes that call for bbq sauce, on bbq chicken pizza or over chicken breasts in my crockpot for pulled sandwiches. It's easy and I can freeze what I don't use in ziplocs so it's at hand for future meals and I'm not making it from scratch every.single.time.


1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic
2 T. olive oil
5 1/3 c. ketchup
1 c. apple cider vinegar(I use any vinegar I have)
2/3 c. brown sugar
2/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
4 t. chili powder

Saute onion in oil, until translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
