Rolled oatmeal is an excellent food to store.
I store 50 lbs of rolled oatmeal in my pantry (in glass jars). Rolled oatmeal has at least a 28-year shelf life. When storing canned or dried foods, always store in a cool, dark, dry place, and avoid freezing or over-heating.
Oatmeal is also an inexpensive way of dropping your cholesterol levels. Since you can use oatmeal as a substitute for bread, rice, or potatoes; you could happily eat oatmeal three times a day.
There are many yummy oatmeal recipes; here are a few.
Peanut Butter & Jam Oatmeal
Ingredients
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon natural jam or jelly
Directions
1. STOVE: Combine oats and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let oatmeal simmer until 90% of the water is absorbed.
2. OR MICROWAVE: Combine oats and water in microwave dish, press "oatmeal" then start to microwave (for 3 min 15 seconds).
3. Remove from heat.
4. Pour oatmeal into a bowl and top with peanut butter and jelly/jam.
