In the 1960’s and 1970’s there were entire cookbooks devoted to cooking things using already prepared/processed foods and particular brand names from the grocery store. In this current age of the Food Network and “foodies” one doesn’t always admit to shortcuts or that former way of cooking. Often I avoid prepared/processed foods in order to avoid things like high-fructose corn syrup and sodium. Not only do I like to cook, but I also like to just read cookbooks, even if I am not going to make anything. Cookbooks I like to read are often the older ones. I especially like old church cookbooks with the flexible plastic binding.
This recipe, I do make an exception to using a processed food, mostly because it is indeed good for you. I make these periodically for breakfast. I like them because I like the taste and texture and they are good with coffee. I like them because I store them in a relatively airtight container and they keep for a couple of days. They are portable and I can grab one or two of them on the go. I also re-heat them gently sometimes in the microwave.
