A good bowl of oatmeal is hard to get tired of, but a great bowl like this makes waking up in the morning a pleasure. Whether you make the oatmeal in the microwave or on the stove, apples with brown sugar and cinnamon are a time-tested topping that makes healthy mornings delicious ones, too.

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/3 cup raisins
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine the oats, milk, water, raisins, brown sugar, apple, and salt in an 8-cup microwave safe bowl.
Place the oatmeal in the microwave and cook on 100% power, uncovered, for 4 minutes, stirring every 60 seconds. Adjust the cooking time as needed until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
Remove the oatmeal from the microwave and let stand for 1 minute. Combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it over the oatmeal and then serve immediately.
For extra flavor, substitute apple juice for the water in the recipe.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
