You will need:

3 c water


1 c milk
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 apples peeled, cored and cubed
(any fruit can be substituted like peaches, mangoes, raisins, cranberries or bananas)




1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs


4 tsp butter
3 tsp honey or brown sugar

In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. 

Combine milk, oats, apples and cinnamon; quickly stir into the boiling water. 
Add fruit that needs to be softened now. Like apples or peaches.

Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is the desired thickness.

Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time and vanilla. 
Do not worry about the eggs. The hot porridge will cook them completely. 
Add fruit that does not need to be softened now. Like raisins, dried cranberries, or nuts.

Yum!

Divide the porridge between 4 bowls. 
Top each one with a teaspoon of butter and drizzle with honey or brown sugar.

It is not mandatory to have a superhero coffee mug...

but it helps.

Potato Scones

Scones. I am eating one right now, with my pinky finger appropriately vertical.

For mashed potatoes:

Slice the potatoes into large chunks and boil in water until tender.
1/2 c milk
3 tbs butter

Mash with fork or potato masher until smooth.
This makes more then one cup.

For Scone:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
1 cup mashed potatoes (prepared with milk and butter)
1/3 cup milk
1 egg

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine potatoes, milk and egg; stir into the crumb mixture until a soft dough forms.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 5-7 minutes or until no longer sticky.

Gently pat or roll dough into a 9-in. circle about 3/4 in. thick.

Cut into 10-12 wedges. I think the rougher cut the better, I like things to look and taste homemade.

Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Breakfast....Yes, please.

Serve with butter, jams or honey. 

Yum!
