I can remember my mom getting those Quaker Oats packets when my brother and I were kids. We liked them, but they were ridiculously small, and a whole box of them would get used up in no time. It took until I had kids of my own to realize that it was incredibly easy to make flavored oatmeal, and using the big cannister of oats was w-a-y cheaper. Also, you can make whatever portion size you want.

So; scoop of oats, scoop of pumpkin. Couple of cranberries, because I am feeling festive. Sugar, cinnamon mix, enough milk to make it 'soupy'. Microwave. Use a good-sized bowl, because it foams up quite a bit.

Also made pumpkin oatmeal for myself, because as noted it's silly easy. The cranberries are a really good idea and I finally found them in the store.

Oooooh, hey, if making the best use of pumpkins is an issue, and it certainly is for some folks, please remember that pumpkin can also function in savory recipes, not just sweet. If you have freezer space, you can shred or chop pumpkin, then stir the frozen shredded/chopped pieces into many, many different casseroles. Check out recipes for butternut squash for ideas. As @rederiswrites pointed out in her tags, pumpkin is a squash.

Um...tiny chickens 🥺 I painted these 🥺🥺
