Happy National Oatmeal Month!

With the cold winter temperatures, howling winds and busy days on the dairy farm, I often look for easy,nutritious supper or breakfast meals. Farmer's Flapjacks would be perfect for both! This recipe is from my recipe book called Sassafras,The Ozarks Cookbook and suggests serving the flapjacks with fried apples, sausage, and coffee. I suggest a big glass of milk!
