Millet Porridge

Mon, 30 Jun 2003 20:03:39 -0400

Looking to add other grains to your diet? Try millet as a hot breakfast cereal. Note: I adopted this as an "authorless" recipe, as it was one I had tried and liked. I have changed the recipe from the original description that it made 2 servings; as I and both other reviewers at this time found that it really makes 1 serving. It can, however, be doubled very easily. I cook mine in my rice cooker which I recommend as a very easy way to make this. -- posted by Jenny Sanders

Banana Bread Oatmeal

Thu, 11 Sep 2003 20:00:54 -0400

A delicious breakfast recipe from the people at Quaker Oats! The toasted pecans make it a real treat, and it can be dairy-free if soy milk is used (and soy yogurt, if desired). -- posted by Kree

Crunchy Spice Granola

Sun, 14 Sep 2003 20:02:07 -0400

The best source that I know of for most of the ingredients in this recipe is Whole Foods Market, but you should be able to find them in other health food stores or better supermarkets. You can be fairly flexible about the amount of nuts and dried fruits, but remember, they provide most of the good flavor; the more fruits and nuts you include, the better it tastes, the more rolled oat, the cheaper it is to make. This recipe makes a real big batch, but it can be halved if desired. It keeps well. This can be a very expensive recipe, but I still think it is worth it !!! A little goes a long way! -- posted by Toby Jermain

Bruleed Irish Oatmeal

Tue, 28 Oct 2003 20:00:13 -0500

This is a great dish to serve overnight guests during the holidays. You just have to remember to dry the brown sugar the night before. Even those who swear they don't like oatmeal will probably like this. I'm one of those myself. Don't try to substitute for the steel-cut oats in this recipe, and the dried fruit chips add a lot to the finished dish. The original recipe is attributed to Katy Sparks of Quilty's restaurant, New York. -- posted by sugarpea

Creamy Maple Cranberry Oatmeal

Wed, 29 Oct 2003 20:01:44 -0500

Another delicious breakfast from Quaker Oats. This one is my favorite yet! It's so much better than storebought oatmeal mixes, and if you use soy milk it's dairy-free! I've also tried using part soy milk and part water to make it a little lighter and using brown sugar in place of the maple syrup, and it still turned out great! -- posted by Kree

Brown Rice and Bulgur

Sat, 06 Dec 2003 20:01:49 -0500

I don't remember where I found this, but it's a staple around our house now. It's chewy, kind of nutty, and very filling. It's also very easy (as long as I think about it at least an hour before I need it!) It's an easy side dish as is, upgrades easily to a pilaf (see directions below), works well under meats and sauces, leftovers go great in soup, and it is even good with a little sugar, cinnamon, and cream over it for breakfast or dessert! So many possibilities with so few ingredients. ;o) -- posted by winkki

Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:59:54 -0400

This is a nice way to sneak some fiber into your diet and also have a healthy breakfast. I do not make this oatmeal too sweet, but you could adjust the sugar/splenda amounts if you prefer sweeter oatmeals. This would be great with some chopped walnuts or pecans also. -- posted by Amber of AZ

As one of those people who eat oatmeal 3 or 4 times a week, I am always looking for was to make my daily bowl more interesting. This recent invention was quite wonderful and sophisticated in flavor.

Millet-Sweet Potato Congee

Fri, 11 Mar 2005 20:00:02 -0500

I read that a millet porridge with sweet potatoes (and sometimes chestnuts) was a traditional dish in Northern China, and pulled together the proportions, method, and seasonings from a variety of sources. Have for breakfast or as a side dish. Congee is by definition mushy and bland, so be sure you are prepared for that if you make this. Everything in this is very good for you. I think you could use apples or pears instead of sweet potatoes. -- posted by Nose

This recipe came from the lack of variety of toasted muesli's on the supermarket shelf. The best thing about this recipe is the endless possibilities. Based on taste you can add or subtract ingredients that you like. For example; Daddy doesn't like Apricots so we just skip putting them in all together. -- posted by Noodlemum

Creamy Cream of Wheat Cereal With Maple Syrup and Bananas

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 11:23:39 -0400

Kids of all ages enjoy this...my DH loves this in the cooler months, and I could eat the whole thing myself, it is that good! Make certain to use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make this, as it will scorch easily, or it also can be made in the microwave, but you will have to keep taking it out to stir it. You can also use pancake syrup in place of the maple syrup (store-bought or homemade). If you are a Cream of Wheat fan, then this is a recipe you are certain to enjoy! -- posted by KITTENCAL

Morocho De Leche, or Spiced Hot Milk With Corn

Mon, 05 Dec 2005 21:13:22 -0500

Last summer when I was in Ecuador it was always a treat to have this drink for breakfast. Breakfast carts on the street and roadside stands keep this hot on the stove and serve it up in tall glasses all morning. It tastes like rice pudding and is a filling alternative to cereal. You drink all the milk and then eat the morocho at the bottom of the glass (I suggest checking to see if your glass is heat safe, otherwise serve it in a mug). Morocho is dried cracked corn kernals. Goya distributes it in plastic bags that you can find with the beans in the "ethnic" food aisle or at a Spanish bodega. This recipe says to use a pressure cooker, but if you don't have one just boil the corn and expect the morocho to take longer to get soft. One recipe yields a lot, so make sure to share with friends! -- posted by Valeria

Decadent Tasting Ginger Pear Oatmeal

Mon, 19 Dec 2005 15:34:44 -0500

I modeled it on toni gifford's Ginger Peach Oatmeal #112474 which I love and eat often. But this is just enough different that I decided to post it so I'll remember. I loved it, but I love candied ginger. In fact, I may add more next time. -- posted by ladypit

Quick Mushroom Congee

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 12:28:55 -0500

It was the night after Christmas and I hadnt eaten all day. Had a hard time trying to swallow with a sore throat and Chinese take-out leftovers was hardly appealing. My mother was forcing me to eat because she thinks a little starvation would destroy the liver so I lower her qualms by deciding to make congee out of already made rice. Since Im only a college student whos barely beginning to enjoy the pleasures of cooking I dont exactly know my way around the kitchen just yet. This was actually my first attempt at making something else other than eggs. I didnt even know how much rice is in one cup. Luckily, good old mom was there and she taught me how to make congee. It was an awful Christmas but slaving over the stove with her was the happiest moment I had all day and the greatest gift I couldve received. Even though this recipe is extremely bland it tasted better knowing I made this with my mother. Happy Holidays, mom. I love you. -- posted by LoneHungryWolf

This is a very yummy oatmeal I made up this morning.:) Mmm...a great reminder that summer is on it's way when when it's chilly in the spring!

Cathy's Apple Cinnamon Hunger Fighting Oatmeal

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 21:10:29 -0400

It's hard to get the kids out of the carb rut for breakfast. This is a filling, protein & fiber rich oatmeal that keeps them full until lunch. Leftovers are even great cold, or make up a big pot the night before and place in individual bowls for a quick breakfast in the morning! I created this myself and have made numerous variations of it, and this is the one my kids ask for over and over! For the sake of good health, it's not a real sweet oatmeal. If you or your kids require a sweeter taste, add more maple syrup or top with brown sugar at the table. You could top each serving with sliced almonds instead of stirring in the chopped walnuts. In fact, I prefer it that way, but I have one daughter who won't eat the protein rich nuts unless they're hidden! I recently made this for guests with only one medium apple (that's all we had in the house), and this fed two children and 3 adults a good hearty breakfast. The kids had seconds, so I estimate the recipe to be about 6 servings. Cooking time is an estimate, depending on how soft you like your apples. -- posted by SrtaMaestra

Cornmeal Mush

This is a little different from other cornmeal mush recipes I've tried because of a simple extra ingredient that makes it a little more creamy.

Creamy Scottish Oatmeal (With Crock-Pot Instructions)

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:31:25 -0500

Oh, man. Properly made steel-cut (aka Scottish or Irish) oatmeal will change your opinion about oatmeal. Scottish oatmeal, without the benefit of added fat, comes out creamy and delicious; the trick is the long cooking time. I had mine with milk added and, honestly, it was totally unnecessary. You can also make this in a crockpot; just fix it up before you go to bed and you will wake up to breakfast! -- posted by elastigirl

Cheddar Cheese Grits

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:04:55 -0500

My favorite way to eat grits. This makes a wonderful side dish to ham, fish and seafood, beef, or most any main course. I bet that even those of you who aren't crazy about grits will enjoy these.:) -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

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

Cinnamon Bun Oatmeal

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:37:33 -0400

Oatmeal with the taste of Cinnabon! And a lot lighter in calories (a classic Cinnabon weighs in at a whopping 730 calories!). Adapted from a recipe at Thought 4 Food http://bit.ly/31XO2m -- posted by DrGaellon

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
