Amish Baked Oatmeal

I was served this Amish Baked Oatmeal recipe for breakfast during the Women’s Retreat I attended in Haiti back in May. It was delicious, and I don’t even eat oatmeal very often. I asked for the recipe, which was emailed to me, and can also be found at www.food.com. Enjoy! (Disclaimer: I have not yet made this recipe for my family, but plan too soon. May take a few tries to “get it right”.)       Tamar Miller
