Instant Oatmeal Packets

Our household is super busy (like most) in the mornings.  These quick little packets are super inexpensive, really fast, and the kids love them.  They are a great way to get out of the house in a hurry, with a yummy breakfast.  They are a fraction of the cost of store bought.
