Oatmeal Delights

I told you that I would put a couple of recipes using rolled oats on the blog so here is my favorite two.  My mother's Famous Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Meatloaf so here we go.

¾ C Shortening

1 C Brown Sugar

½ C Granulated Sugar

1 Egg

¼ C Water

1 tsp Vanilla

1C Sifted Flour

½ tsp Baking Soda

3 C Rolled Oats

Raisins

Beat shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla until creamy.  Sift together flour, salt and baking soda.  Stir in oats.  Add raisins to liking.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

Oh Yeah, these are GRRRRRRRR eate!

Now for my Meatloaf.  I LOVE meatloaf.  It is so easy to make and soooooooo good. Whip up a batch of mashed potatoes from your food storage potato flakes, put some freeze dried green beans on to boil and what more could you ask for.  OH OH.  Reconstitute some fat free powdered CHOCOLATE MILK and you have all the food groups you need.  Did you know that Chocolate is a food storage item?  OF COURSE!
