Baked Oatmeal

As we near the Christmas, we need to take a moment to remember whats important about the holiday....saying our blessings and enjoying our friends and family. With that said, make ahead meals are priceless for the holidays. Here is yet another make ahead meal that would be a great recipe to make the night before then throw in and cook while you enjoy family time and open your gifts. This recipe is a version of what I found on Safely Gathered In (thanks for the pic).

4 C milk (I mix up powdered milk for this)
1/3 C brown sugar
2 2/3 C uncooked oatmeal
2 T olive oil
1 T cinnamon
2 cups dried fruit (I like apples and crasins)
dash salt

Mix together in a casserole dish, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning add 1/2 C nuts (like almonds or walnuts) and bake for and hour, stirring once when half way done.
