Making this menu work for you

Here are some suggestions for making this menu easier to prepare:

Instead of cooking Amish Baked Oatmeal, follow the stovetop or microwave directions on the package.

If you have at least half an hour to bake one morning a week, use that morning to bake a batch of muffins. Store them in your freezer in zipper lock freezer bags. Thaw in the microwave. Another option is to buy muffins from your grocery store bakery.

The Broccoli Bacon Quiche and White Bean Salad will keep well refrigerated for 2 or 3 days.
