Get Up and Go Oatmeal BreakfastI am not my sharpest in the morning and I can use all the help I can get to start off with a healthy breakfast. I put together oatmeal and delicious ingredients into a mason jar in the refrigerator at night. In the morning, I have it cold or drop it in the microwave for 1 minute.

Potato PancakesCombine eggs, pancake mix, potatoes, and oil. Add enough 7-Up to make a very thin batter; let stand 10 minutes. Fry on hot griddle until done.
