i have been eating a lot of instant oatmeal these days, and i figure: there must be a way to just make this.

and here is it!

3 cups quick-cooking oats
salt
8 small sized zip baggies

1. put 1 cup of oats into a food processor and powder it.  (if you are using a blender, you will need to blend it 1/2 a cup at a time)
2. put the following ingredients into each baggie:
• 1/4 cup unpowdered oats
• 2 tablespoons powdered oats
• pinch of salt
  
3. store in an air-tight container.

then you can add your own flavors, like a little sugar with dried apples and cinnamon.

i like the idea of making your own mixes for things instead of buying them.  i don't eat a whole lot of pre-prepared foods, but it would be cool to eat even fewer than the few that i do.  maybe even... none!
