I never seem to get the porridge quantities quite right in the mornings, and have recently embarked on a series of experiments with teacups and measuring cups, trying to work out the exact amount of oats and water and milk needed to make two small bowls of porridge for two small children – but no matter how carefully calculated, there’s […]
After last weeks porridge experiment, several of my readers got in touch to tell me that they do something similar, but with dried skimmed milk. Well, I rushed to the supermarket to pick up a bag, to solve another household problem. So Thankyou dear readers for this ingenious idea – I’ve made a Super Express Portable Porridge pot from a […]
I received this lovely email recipe from a reader after I posted my Express Porridge idea, and loved it so much I thought I would share it. I know my Small Boy would love this! Good morning Jack, I saw your recent post about creating your own instant oatmeal. Here’s something I make that’s cheap and easy to make, and my daughter loves it. One 450g/500g tub of yogurt Some cheap, fine cut value oats *fruit (optional) Spoon the yogurt into a bowl, and gradually add the dry oats and stir them in. Add enough oats so the mixture is between overly creamy and dry. Put the top on the container, and keep in the fridge overnight. The next day you’ll have creamy, fluffy yogurty oats to spoon into a bowl and enjoy. *Most of the time, after I pour the yogurt into the bowl, I add some frozen blueberries, frozen blackberries or raisins before stirring in the porridge. This is made in our house once a week, and it provides about 3 breakfasts for myself and my daughter. It goes down a treat. Best wishes, Laura.
