I threw this breakfast porridge together in the crockpot last night and was happy to wake up to an already cooked breakfast. I was also very pleased that all my children liked it and requested that I make it "at least twice every three weeks".
Even more funny is this: today is Friday the 13th but the kids insisted "Friday the 13th is not unlucky at all - we were so lucky to have such a yummy breakfast"
I got the idea out of the Super Baby Food book. Here it is:
Whole Grain Crockpot Breakfast
2 cups whole grains (I used 1/2 cup sweet brown rice, 1/2 cup barley, and 1 cup Kamut)
2 peeled and chopped apples
1/2 cup chopped dried fruit or raisins
5 cups water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Cook overnight on low and serve with a little honey (or other sweetener - we used coconut flakes) and milk.
I am feeling really guilty here. I gave Quinn left over sugar cookie from the batch I delivered to the classrooms this morning. At least no frosting.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get Kamut?
Hey Al,
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at your blog in a while but and just wanting to say hi. We used to eat whole grain cereal..it was the one thing my dad would cook. He called it Slumgullion and I think we liked it just because of the name.
Miss you!
Super Baby Food is one of my favorite reference books. Haven't tried that cereal recipe though. Sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try this tonight- I should pull out that book!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to make this... it's snowing tonight and they've already canceled school for tomorrow. This will be a fun surprise when we wake up... and the snow too of course!
