How to make instant Ningxia oatmeal with kid help

We started the day with 3 boxes of apples and still have most of them left!

First on the list was apple crisp for hubs. Tall girl wanted to help with that one. We usually use the Betty Crocker Apple Crisp Recipe but triple the topping!

Next came Apple Chips. Miss Comedian wanted to help with that one. Our secret is to open a can of pineapple rings and put those in the dehydrator and use the juice to dip the apple slices in! It makes them so yummy without using sugar and the minions don’t love lemon juice on them. Can’t wait for my pineapple rings! Yum!

Then Miss Cupcake wanted to make apple sauce! She used the corer and then quartered the apples before throwing them in the crockpot with skin on. We will use the food mill later to make apple sauce and a little cider. We add Cinnamon after too!

Lastly, Little Man has been begging to make his own instant oatmeal packages so we finally got those done.

Excellent way to get a reluctant writer to do some printing!

Recipe 1: Banana

1/2 Cup instant Oats

1/2 TBSP Brown Sugar( use whatever you like here)

1/2 tsp Hemp Hearts

1 tablespoonish of chopped banana chips

Recipe 2: Banana Apricot- this was the same as the first but we added chopped apricots too

Recipe 3: Cinnamon Sugar- this was the same as the original but without the fruit. We added 1/8tsp of cinnamon. I’ll have to get some maple sugar for next time because my favourite is Maple brown sugar.

Recipe 4: Ningxia Berry!! Again we used the same base recipe, but swapped the Banana for Ningxia Berries. Added 1/8 tsp of cinnamon too! They smell so yummy.

I doubt they last long!
