Overnight, No-Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal

Overnight, No-Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal
(great way to eat oatmeal in the summer when you don't want it hot)

Basic recipe

1/4 c old-fashioned oats (not the quick oats)
1/4 c Greek yogurt (plain--I use the kind I make)
1/3 c milk
1 1/2 tsp chia seeds

Put all together in a pint jar (or plastic container with lid works well, too) and shake until it's all mixed up.

For flavorings add everything except fresh fruit before you shake. After it's all shaken, you can add fresh fruit and stir. It will be ready to eat in the morning.

Raspberry or Peach
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 T raspberry/peach jam
1/4-1/3 c fresh raspberries (cut in half)/chopped peaches
1/4 tsp cinnamon (if you use peaches)

Blueberry Maple
2 tsp maple syrup (real is best)
1/4 c fresh blueberries

Apple Cinnamon
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp honey
1/4 c unsweetened applesauce

Banana Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp PB
1 tsp honey
1/4 c diced ripe banana

Apricot
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 T apricot jam
2 T chopped dried apricots (or 1/4 c fresh)

Breakfast Egg Casserole

Breakfast Egg Stratta

Served at Clark's blessing brunch.
Recipe originally from Rita DeBry

Egg base:
12 eggs
1 C sour cream
1 C milk
1 C whipping cream (you can use milk or cottage here too if you want)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp dry mustard (optional)

That's the whole recipe. In a 9x13 spread ingredients and cheese and then pour the egg mixture over. Add more cheese on top if desired. Bake at 365 for 1 hour-1 hour 10 min. Insert knife and make sure it comes out completely clean.

I made Tex Mex which included pepper jack cheese, a can of corn (drained), 3 chopped roma tomatoes, 1 onion (sauteed), chopped cilantro, 1 can green chilis, 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed).

The other one I made was sauteed onions and mushrooms (in butter) and then spinach put in the sauteing pan enough to make it wilt with cheddar and jack cheese.

The joy of this recipe is that once you have the base recipe, you can add whatever ingredients you have or whatever sound good.

Just a few ideas:
meats--ham, bacon, sausage
veggies--onions, mushrooms, spinach, finely chopped broccoli, grated carrots, grated squash, peppers, tomatoes (pick what's in your fridg or garden)
herbs--cilantro, sage, basil, dill, chives (pick one that matches the flavors you are using)
carbs--beans, hashbrowns, rice, cut (or torn) bread (cut off crusts)

Try an Italian variety with garlic cheese toast, basil and chopped tomatoes with mozzarella and parm cheese
Try 7 grain bread with sharp cheddar cheese and leftover shredded beef and rosemary for a dinner meal.
