I haven't done a post on food storage for awhile. So here is some quick info.
Rolled Oats: This is a fancy word for oatmeal.
•Uses - Breakfasts, homemade granola, cookies, add to bread, filler in meat loafs or casseroles, thickener for soups/stews. I love to grind it and add it to my bread. It is so yummy and adds to the nutrition. It is also awesome in chocolate chip cookies. I have put it in whole or I have ground it in my blender. Either way it is good.
•Types - There are two types: quick rolled oats or regular rolled oats. Quick oats cook faster but regular oats keep their flavor and nutrition better.
•Storage - If unopened, shelf life (optimum) is up to 8 years. If opened it should be used within 1 year. It is recommend storing large amounts in an airtight plastic container and then pulling out a smaller amount every few months for your actual usage. This smaller amount could be stored in your normal everyday pasticware. I have used it when it has been older and it tastes fine it probably just looses some of its nutritional value.
**Also Alex is slowly recovering. He ate a 1/2 a piece of pizza and drank part of a Boost. He was also awake for several hours. That is a good thing.
