Oatmeal anyone?


This week I've been into making baked oatmeal.  I've never liked oatmeal or eaten it, except in an occasional cookie, but I've been searching for a recipe to make Jeff a to-go breakfast item that doesn't make a mess when he's driving.
The first recipe I tried is an Amish oatmeal breakfast bar.  These are delicious, but definitely won't work in the car.  But, they are so good, I'm trying them again this morning substituting the oil for apple sauce and adding dried cranberries.
Yesterday, I decided to try making granola bars.  I found a recipe that had rave reviews and bought things I've never bought before-one of which was wheat germ.  I didn't even know where to find it!  But a nice lady helped me and it's in the cold cereal aisle for anyone who would like to know.  They turned out great!  I'm not sure if they will work for the car-that remains to be seen, but they are really delicious.
