As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Getting a little tired of overnight oats? Give this recipe a go for oatmeal you can prepare ahead of time, and eat with one hand as you head out the door in the morning. If the small collection of ingredients seems a little too fit for you, you can sweeten it up fairly easily. I saw a variety of similar recipes online that added sugar to the mix, to make the hearty snack a little more of a sweet treat.

Our rediscovery of this book last year has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
