with PEANUT BUTTER

Oatmeal cooked in the microwave, my every-day favorite for many years

Hands-on time: 2 minutes
Time to table: 5 minutes
Serves 1

• 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup water or skim milk
• 1/8 teaspoon table salt (don't skip the salt!)
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter

In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the oats, water and salt. (Don’t worry, precise measuring isn’t required once you’ve made this a time or two. Just eyeball the ingredients.) Cook on high for 1 minute, then give it a good stir. Cook on high for 30 seconds, then stir again. Cook for 15 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 15-second increments until oatmeal is full cooked and water fully absorbed. Stir in the peanut butter and serve.
