Home Fries

I've loved these for a very long time but it's been a while since I've made them. For some reason they just popped into my head when I opened the pantry and saw potatoes this morning. Thankfully, they're dairy, soy, etc. free!

1 Tbsp. oil
2 medium red potatoes
1 small onion
salt, pepper to taste

Heat oil in medium pan over medium high heat. Chop potatoes and onion into cubes and cook in oil until tender.

The photo above (I actually remembered to take a picture this time!) uses 2 medium red potatoes and was plenty for me for breakfast but I usually have a pretty healthy appetite!

Baked Oatmeal

This is, hands down, the preferred breakfast at our house. I found this recipe on Money Saving Mom and modified it to meet my no-dairy, no-soy needs. Click here for the original recipe.

Here is my version, which is pretty much the same as the original, just no milk!

1 cup oil (can sub. applesauce)
1.5 cups sugar (can reduce)
4 eggs
6 cups oats (not the quick-cook kind)
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups water

Combine all ingredients in order listed. Pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan. I have a sprayer that I can fill with whatever oil I choose. I use olive oil. Or you could just put oil onto a paper towel and grease that way. DO NOT use cooking spray as ALL of them contain soy. Bake at 375* for 30-40 minutes until lightly browned. Can refrigerate overnight before baking. I serve with fresh fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc).
