Oatmeal

Next up in the exciting installment of breakfast choices: Instant Oatmeal! Whether you splurge and get Quaker instant oatmeal, or go for the generic no name brands, this is a quick, healthy option. See below for the recipe.

Instant Oatmeal
-1 packet instant oatmeal
-2/3 cup water

1. Open the packet of oatmeal, and empty into a microwave safe bowl. Be careful not to spill.
2. Add the water. There is no need to stir, but you overachievers can if you desire.
3. Place bowl (with the oatmeal and water mixture inside) in the microwave.
4. Cook for approximately 45 seconds on high power. The exact settings depend on your own microwave. Some might require a bit more, some a bit less. If it is still a little watery, you cook it for more. If it is burnt and smoking, you should have cooked it for less time. Remember that in the future.
4.5. Remove from the microwave.
5. Stir, as this will get the flavoring evenly distributed.
6. Eat with a spoon and enjoy! Do be careful as sometimes it is quite hot after removing from the microwave.
