​Dear friends, how come you never told me about baked oatmeal? Withholding such information can have a very negative effect on our friendship.
Simple, scrumptious, nourishing: oats combined with your favorite fruits, eggs, butter, maple syrup and some kind of “milk” baked to perfection.
I loosely followed a recipe I found on-line.
2 eggs,
1 cup of milk
1/3 cup of maple syrup
2-3 T of melted butter
2 cups of oats
1 tsp baking powder.
Lots of fruits.
Today I accidentally included cornmeal too.
Baked at 375F for 40 or so minutes.
While it’s baking I’m going to treat my hands that touched hundreds of flowers this week to a soothing oat milk bath. They are tired, red and inflamed and crying for attention. Oat is the ultimate soother and supporter or red, itchy skin. All it takes is a bowl of warm water, and sock with some rolled oat. As you gently squeeze the oats tied in the fabric the water turns milky and silky. Ok, some may say slimy. You skin will thank you for it.
Wait, it doesn’t stop there! While you’re giving your hands a spa treatment, why not sip a coup of oat straw or milky top of oats tea? Just as it is soothing to your skin, it is as soothing to your whole body. Rich in minerals, especially calcium ( goodbye crushed up rocks, calcium supplements) it builds up and supports the mentally and physically exhausted.
It’s all about oats here today. And probably tomorrow too.
