  <preparation>Place all ingredients into a <equipment>gallon-sized resealable
  storage bag</equipment>. Evacuate most of the air from the bag and zip it
  closed. Gently the shake bag to mix all ingredients taking care to work out
  any lumps in the brown sugar.</preparation>

  <serving>Combine 1/2 C instant oatmeal mix with 3/4 C water. Microwave for 2
  to 3 minutes. Let cool 1 minute and stir before serving.</serving>

  <notes>Walnuts may be substituted for pecans. You may also want to
  experiment with different types of dried fruits. A combination of
  cranberries and blueberries with walnuts or pecans is very tasty.</notes>
