Budwig - Original Dr. Kousmine Recipe

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:50:52 -0500

A delicious, super-healthy way to start the day. Dr. Kousmine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Kousmine) was perhaps a little ahead of her time in terms of nutrition, espousing the benefits of unprocessed foods and a holistic approach to diseases and ailments; but whatever you think of the politics of it all, this breakfast is yummy and will keep you sustained for many hours more than a bowl of "normal" cereal! ;-) -- posted by Seznam

Basic Breakfast Granola Cereal

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:53:47 -0500

Simple, tasty basic granola recipe. I like this just as it is, but you can also mix up the ingredients. Some ideas: Substitute nuts for dried fruit or berries; use half almonds and half broken pecans; use half pecans and half dried cherries; omit the coconut and replace with the same amount of oats. You get the idea. This makes more than the recipe lets on, so you may have to use two cookie sheets. Enjoy! -- posted by BIG_CHIEF

Chocolate Oat Bran

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:29:40 -0500

There are lots of recipes for chocolate oatmeal, but very few for any type of oat bran... so I decided to create one just to see what happened, and it didn't turn out so bad!! I did use a half-cup measuring cup, but it wasn't completely full so it may have been more like 1/3 cup. -- posted by brokenburner

Poached Cherry Risotto

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:02:15 -0500

I really like risotto. The trouble is that I am the only one in the house that likes it, until now. Everything is better when it is sweet. also, you cannot live near Door County without having a few cherry recipes on here. I used Recipe #229437 #229437 by the lovely and talented Chef #58104 for the cherries called for in this recipe. Yes, I still add the vanilla because my DH loves vanilla. You can skip this step if you use Rita's cherry, since it already is flavored. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Hot Rice Breakfast Cereal

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:22:37 -0500

Whenever we make rice for dinner we make a HUGE pot and use the rest for breakfast... this is one of the ways we use it! This recipe comes from hillbillyhousewife.com and I am posting it for the January TOTM. I am posting it in normal proportions but we make 8-10 times this amount to feed our brood! Prep/cooking time does not include cooking of the rice. -- posted by mumof9

Chewy, Loaded, Oatmeal, Peanut Butter Bar "cookies"

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 17:40:44 -0500

I came up with these last night, and am so pleasantly surprised at the result! I wasn't in the mood (or didn't have time) to do the cookie thing, so I decided to make a bar cookie, but had a hard time finding a recipe that had the ingredients that I had in mind, so I came up with my own. These are also good for breakfast and have wholesome ingredients, although admittedly not low in fat. You can vary this to your own personal taste by adding any kind of chopped dried fruit and/or nuts, and of course you could add chocolate pieces as well. These were easy to make, and didn't take a lot of time. ** See peanut allergy note below! -- posted by Yrhaven (aka Condiment Queen)

Baked " Cranberry Nut Bread" Oatmeal

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 12:58:58 -0500

For years I never ate oatmeal due to the "mushy" texture.

Bedtime Oatmeal

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:47:49 -0500

This isn't really a recipe, it's more an idea which worked really well. I find it hard to get to sleep, but don't like having a hot drink before I go to bed because I end up waking up a couple of hours later then can't get back to sleep. I love the taste of Horlicks (malted milk) though, and find it really relaxing, and oats are meant to help you sleep so I tried adding it to a bowl of oatmeal and it tasted really yummy! It's a lot cheaper than buying flavoured oatmeal too, and you can add any type of malted milk/hot chocolate powders to it, or even flavoured milkshake (my brother likes banana Nesquik with cinnamon). Have fun trying it out! -- posted by Rainbow*Bubbles

Best Ever Granola

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:46:46 -0500

This recipe is so good because it produces a granola with lots of clusters (due to the ground oats) and light, crisp flakes (from the quick oats). The recipe is from, Melissa Kronenthal of The Traveler's Lunchbox. She calls it "Seven-Year Granola" as it took her 7 years to develop this perfect recipe. If you want, you can substitute the ground oats with ready-made oat flour, or flax seed meal. -- posted by blucoat

Overnight Refrigerated Oatmeal

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:20:54 -0400

This is a great make-ahead breakfast. I'm not sure what the site will say the calorie count is, but I have counted it myself to be 315 calories. (I actually use unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze almond milk, and it brings the count down to 290.) It's a delicious and efficient way to eat breakfast. You chill it overnight and then just pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes when you get up. It's my new favorite oatmeal! Enjoy! -- posted by PumpkinNut

Cream of Wheat Pudding

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:15:42 -0400

From The Kitchn blog at http://tinyurl.com/deaj2w Best served piping hot. Author note: "You can use the whole egg in this. However, I find that it's difficult to keep the egg white from curdling at least a little bit when added into the hot cereal, so you may find soft little nubs of egg white throughout. If this won't bother you, add the whole egg. Using just the egg yolk seems to keep it a little smoother." -- posted by DrGaellon

Scottish Cream Crowdie With Raspberries

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:03:16 -0400

This is a name that isn't really known on these shores, although there may be a small group or two of people of Scottish descent who use it. It is an Anglicized version of an old Gaelic (Scottish) word for curd. A crowdie was a porridge (or pudding) and was usually eaten for breakfast. This version is one that was used on special occasions at harvest time. Although a crowdie doesn't traditionally include fruit, it, like any breakfast cereal, is certainly lifted to another level when it is included. Adapted from King Arthur flour. -- posted by Sharon123

Sat, 02 May 2009 02:48:48 -0400

When I was a little girl, my Grandma would make batches of this for my Grandpa. It filled her house with a wonderful aroma and tasted terrific. She would store it in large glass Mason jars when it cooled. This is a half batch of what she used to make and my Sister makes this amount fresh every week. You can eat this as regular granola with milk or sprinkle on yogourt or ice cream. Thanks Grandma! Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

My friend's hubby goes to Pebble Beach to play golf once in a while. She really loved the granola the restaurant served and asked for the recipe. To her surprise, they sent her that recipe and it is really good. You could add dried cranberries or raisins if you wanted. This makes a lot of granola so I had to guess on the servings. -- posted by Laura123

Lower Fat Cinnamon Granola

Tue, 05 May 2009 17:13:32 -0400

This recipe will probably not rate as "low fat" because of all the nuts, but they're a healthy source of fat. In an effort to reduce the unhealthy fat, there is a minimal amount of butter in the entire recipe. It makes for a dry granola which is especially good for topping yogurt or as the topping for a fruit "cobbler". Feel free to swap out different fruits and nuts to suit your tastes. Enjoy! -- posted by QOU4LIFE

Creamy Grits (Rice Cooker)

Sat, 09 May 2009 12:06:24 -0400

I first tasted grits as an adult and was underwhelmed. But I really started to enjoy them with added ingredients, so I started thinking of how to improve them for breakfast. I realized that I had also disliked oatmeal made with water, so taking a cue from my mother, I prepared them with milk. I really liked the results, but not the cooking of them. So I threw everything into the rice cooker - yummy grits with no fuss. This recipe can be doubled readily. -- posted by duonyte

Malt-O-Meal Cake

Sun, 17 May 2009 19:32:18 -0400

This is an adaptation of "Semolina cake soaked with lemon syrup" from "A Baker's Tour" cookbook. The semolina cake was originally from Greece & called "Revani". When I saw you could substitute the semolina for cream of wheat, I figured my malt-o-meal would work just as well. I had maple brown sugar malt-o-meal & we loved it so much, I don't think I will ever be able to make it any other way. If you don't have that kind of malt-o-meal, I would imagine you can incorporate those flavors in the syrup that is drizzled on top. This cake was gone in 2 hours. We really liked it & I hope you will too. -- posted by Feej

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:30:39 -0400

The advantage to using honey instead of sugar in granola is that you need significantly less. This is a good recipe as is, but please feel free to experiment with coconut, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, powdered milk or additional oil or honey for a richer taste. Ground granola makes a wonderful crumb crust for pies, too! From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

Mom's Simple Granola

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:51:33 -0400

My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like! -- posted by Hadice

Apricot-Walnut Oatmeal

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:10:15 -0500

My husband and I eat this every morning M-F. The oatmeal is low sodium, low sugar, high fiber. The apricots are high Vit A (beta carotene), the walnuts are high Vit E. Without honey, it's quite bland. Honey, I feel, is a better choice than sugar because it is antiseptic and is thought to help with allergies, from which my DH does suffer. -- posted by DonitaK

You can use any combination of rolled grains, nuts, pumpkin instead of sunflower seeds, any type of dried fruit, and for sweetener; brown rice syrup, agave nectar, maple syrup, etc. -- posted by Chef #1124424
