Quaker Oats Oatmeal Cookies
Everyone remembers Quaker Oats from their childhood. Mom's used to
make it for breakfast before the kids went to school. Now-a-days,
Quaker Oats claims that eating oatmeal might lower your cholesterol. At
the very least, it's a good source of fiber and everyone needs more of
that in their diet! There's also a great Quaker Oats Oatmeal Raisin
Cookie recipe on the back of the container.
