We also cook 4-5 cups per morning, and SOMETIMES there are leftovers, but not usually. I add powdered milk (bought in bulk), as we are living from our pantry and not shopping, brown sugar, and usually a little butter (if we have it). This means I feed 6 of us for less than $1 (my husband eats leftovers or potatoes for breakfast most days and doesn't have oatmeal, so I'll need to add a little more for his breakfast).<br><br><br>I knew oats were one of our least expensive breakfasts, but I never broke it down by cups before. We usually have oatmeal 2-3 times a week. <br><br><br>And unlike cold cereal (to which I won't go back!) my children are full for a while after having oatmeal, insead of asking for more food before I've finished the breakfast dishes!The Prudent Homemakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-5775334063735614412010-01-20T01:15:58.000-08:002010-01-20T01:15:58.000-08:00Crystal--I need to know what beans have the thinne...Crystal--<br><br>I need to know what beans have the thinnest shell? My husband cannot eat a lot of things that have shells on them so no corn, no peas, no tomato skins, no raw peppers. He does sneak a few and gets in trouble when digesting. He has an ileostomy so foods don't process through the large intestine. He can eat beans but I have to put them through a blender but some beans still come out "shelly". What's your opinion on the softest shell possible? <br><br>AliceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-66965872297319228522010-01-26T09:04:01.000-08:002010-01-26T09:04:01.000-08:00Crystal,I was wondering what size the cans of tuna...Crystal,<br><br><br>I was wondering what size the cans of tuna you used are?
