(from the Quaker Oatmeal website)
This one tastes a little like a creamy chocolate oatmeal cookie. And I sprinkled some cinnamon on top before eating it.
1 1/4 cups milk or chocolate milk
2/3 cup quick or old fashioned oats
1/8 t salt
1 T semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a medium saucepan, bring milk just to a boil. Add in other ingredients. Reduce heat to low. Cook 1-2 min for quick oats or 5 for old fashioned, stirring occasionally. Let sit until it reaches the consistency you like. Makes 2 servings.

Ham & Bean Soup
Found this online at about.com & have made it twice now-very tasty & perfect for the leftover ham!
INGREDIENTS:
8 cups water
1 pound Great Northern beans or navy beans
2 cups cubed ham
1 ham bone or ham hock, optional
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
various seasoning to taste *my addition
1 bay leaf
1 carrot, chopped
1 rib celery, chopped or sliced thinly
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
PREPARATION:
Bring water and beans to a boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
Stir in ham, ham bone or hock, pepper, bay leaf, carrot and celery. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender (skim foam from top), about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If soup is too thick, add a little water. Remove ham bone or ham hock (if used) and trim meat from bone. Return meat to soup with tomato sauce and salt; simmer for about 15 minutes (or until ready to serve) Remove bay leaf.

Chocolate Crinkles
Ok, Analise and I are embarking on a month of Christmas cookies and candy. This was our first recipe, and it was AWESOME! Easy and incredibly delicious. These are like little brownie bites.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Form the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in confectioners' sugar. Bake the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet for 10 minutes. Set the baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then lightly dust the cookies with the remaining confectioners' sugar. Transfer the cookies directly onto the rack to cool thoroughly. Makes about 4 dozen.
