So, we are getting ready to leave for California tomorrow, and I'm anticipating the challenge. Aunt Flo (if you catch my drift) decided to visit yesterday, so I've been dealing with the side effects of that the last week. Which, going with my norm, meant the need to eat and a unexplainable lack of energy (that is until Flo shows up, then it makes perfect sense.) So, next month my goal is to figure out when the pms is going to hit, and how to stay on track when it does. I haven't completely fallen off, I just have had a hard go at it this past week.
I made up a breakfast cereal recipe the other morning (got tired of oatmeal). It was really good, and since Stretch refuses to eat it, I had enough for 4 mornings. So I hope you enjoy it and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Yummy-Good-for-your-Tummy Cereal
3 cups of water
2 T. amaranth grain
2 T. millet
2 T. rye flakes
2 T. cracked wheat
2 T. steel-cut oats
(the above should be heaping and needs to total 1 cup. I'm also going to try using brown rice and quinoa in the future)
2 T. flaxseeds
handful of dried apricots, chopped
handful of raw almonds, chopped
Boil water. Stir in grains and flaxseeds. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in fruit and nuts. Cover and continue to cook for 15 minutes. Serve with a little soy milk and your good to go!
You can use any dried fruit and nuts you like and any combination of grains as long as the grain to water ratio is 1:3.
Enjoy!
