This was a very hearty breakfast. I used brown rice syrup, but next time I may use some brown sugar and fruit. Thank you for sharing.

Such a simple, cheap, healthy, and tasty breakfast! I add something diffrent every day. To save time, I cook a double batch on Sundays and then warm a little in the microwave each morning. My favorite is to add blueberries with cinnamon & honey, my DH like maple syrup.

This was cooked in the crockpot and made a very filling breakfast that lasted throughout the morning. At serving, I tossed in some dried cranberries, added 1 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Spice Blend Mix, drizzled a touch of maple syrup over each serving, topped with non-fat plain yogurt and a sprinkling of sliced almonds. A nice change from oatmeal.

I did this 2 days ago using barley and some buckwheat groats (what I had at hand) and was pleasantly suprised by it. I used the crockpot method (sprayed with Pam first) starting it at 10:30pm and turning it off at 7am. The water was gone, but it wasn't dry and the texture was good also. I also had no problem with cleaning the crockpot afterwards. After tasting it first, I decided to have a bowl with some butter and salt and pepper on it, and it made a good, hearty breakfast for a cold morning. This morning, I sauted some diced onions in some butter and then added a few spoons of this with some S&P and let it cook until the bottom got browned, then put an egg on top. Not quite corned beef hash, but tasty all the same, and a little ketchup was good with it. Thanks for a good, hearty, easy and inexpensive breakfast recipe!
