Refrigerator Oatmeal

 

Am I the only mom that has a hard time getting out of bed to make breakfast?

This is one of my go to breakfast or snack ideas. It can be made the night before or a couple days in advance.

It’s supper yummy and easy to make!

Monica over at The yummy life has a TON of different refrigerator oatmeal recipes!

Here are a couple of our favorites!!

  

Tater Tot Nachos (“Totchos”)

If I forget or don’t have time to put something in the crock pot on Sundays, we usually end up eating cereal for dinner.  I recently found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it would be a good one for the kids to help make, and it was looking dismally like a “cereal or starve” Sunday last night, so we decided to throw together a pan of “totchos” for dinner.

They were super easy to make, and they tasted pretty darned good, too.  Fun for the kids; I think they could probably practically do this one all by themselves!

Fresh Peach Dessert

I’m wrapping up what will probably be my final box of peaches for the season.  This latest box was the best yet.  These peaches are enormous!  They look almost more like mini pumpkins than peaches!  We’ve already had this fresh peach dessert a couple times this year, but the kids wanted to have it just one last time before the peaches were all gone.

*I reduced the sugar in the crust portion of the original recipe.  I thought it was too sweet, and I prefer for the natural sweetness of the peaches to shine through. 

Copycat Orange Julius

I’ll admit I actually have no idea whether or not this really tastes anything like an Orange Julius.  I haven’t had an orange julius from an official Orange Julius in many years due to the fact that the only Orange Julius places I know of are located inside of shopping malls, and I avoid shopping malls any cost. 

Whether or not it tastes anything like the real thing, though, it is certainly delicious.  My kids have been requesting them at least once a week since I discovered the recipe.
