When I was at the warehouse store, the 9-pound box of rolled oats seemed like a fine idea. “100+ servings,” it proclaimed. I figured I had breakfast covered for more than three months. And for just pennies a day!
Then I lugged the box home. It looked a lot bigger on my pantry shelf than on the store shelf. But luckily, I can think of a lot of uses for rolled oats. Oatmeal cookies, for one. Fruit crisps, like the recipe I posted earlier.
