    I use them in smoothies. I make one for my son every morning! Oats, milk (or almond milk) peanut butter and a banana. Add protein powder too if you'd like

    I would try baked oatmeal. It's easy, uses lots of the oats, and then you have a quick grab and go breakfast thatt is very filling. Here is one recipe, but there are tons out there. Some say to use old fashioned oats, and I have, but I have also substituted quick oats with great results. Also, I always substitute applesauce for the oil and add diced apples. It cuts back on the calories, and adds a great apple taste to the oatmal bars.

    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
    (Serves 1)

    1/2 c. milk of choice (such as almond milk)
    1/2 c. water or more milk of choice
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/2 c. rolled oats
    1/4 c. canned pumpkin
    1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
    sweetener as desired (For a true “creme brulee” feel, you can use the Melted Banana Trick… or, I have a friend who likes to put brown sugar on top and then bake the already-cooked oatmeal under the “broil” setting, so it gets all caramelized.)
    raisins and walnuts as desired
    1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
    cinnamon! Mix some in, and sprinkle more on top

    Combine all ingredients on the stovetop and bring to a boil. Stir over medium heat until desired thickness is reached.

    If you haven't opened them you can likely return them. Otherwise, you should be able to add whatever you usually add to old fashioned oats. There's not a lot of difference between the two, other than cooking time.

    Yep.

    I apologize if this has already been recommended, but check out www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com

    She's got several recipes using quick oats, and I know one for a fact that has canned pumpkin! I think it's the pumpkin no-bakes... my daughter and boyfriend love them! (and they're pretty picky when it comes to "healthy" food)

    put a cup or so in a tub of warm water and soak your feet, makes them feel soft and smooth!

    They are also great as an exfoliating rub on your face.

    One Banana- Sliced

    To prepare-

    Add all ingredients into a bowl, except the banana. Add desired amounts of water (I do not add much water because I like my oatmeal a little dry) and microwave for 2 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and then add sliced banana across the top...THATS IT!!! So Simple!

    **for added flavor, add half a packet of low sugar, low fat hot cocoa mix and a Tsp of peanut butter, this will make it taste just like a no bake cookie!!

    Found somewhere on MFP, "microwave minute mug muffins."

    1/4c quick oats
    1 egg
    "handful" of berries, fresh or frozen
    1t (or so) of milk (or water, vodka, etc) to moisten
    A bit of sweetener (agave nectar, maple syrup, splenda, stevia...) to taste.

    Mix it all up in a mug and nuke for a minute. It looks really scary when it's poofing out over the top of the mug, but doesn't spill per se.

    Also has the benefit of being high-protein, low-carb, if you're into that sort of thing.

    Enjoy!
