Apple Pie Oatmeal
Put away the packets! One of my favorite breakfast foods growing up was a bowl of oatmeal prepared from instant packets of apples and cinnamon oatmeal. Funny how our palates change, and our fond recollections are not what we once thought. I recently grabbed such a packet to eat on […]
