mommy's oatmeal

you wouldn't think that oatmeal needs a recipe, but good oatmeal does :) essentially, i start with a pie recipe. i've also used cookie recipes, such as peanut butter cookies. use honey to sweeten it to keep it healthy!

Ingredients:
6 cups water
1 cup milk
3 cups oatmeal
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup honey
raisins* or 1 can pumpkin

Directions:
Put water, milk, and oatmeal in a pot and turn the stove on high
Add the rest of the ingredients
Bring to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes
*If you are using raisins, add them once the oatmeal is done and ready to serve. This will keep them firm
