Pretty Good Cold Breakfast Cereal
One cup
of oat meal flakes - uncooked
One tbsp.
low sugar dried cranberries
One tbsp.
pecan pieces
One tbsp.
hulled sunflower seeds
One tbsp.
sliced almonds
@ four
dried apricots cut into little pieces
One dried
fig cut into little pieces
Two or
three dried pineapple pieces cut into bits
Milk as
needed – about one cup
(no sugar
necessary)
This is a quick cold breakfast cereal about as down home safe
from General Mills, et al, as we can do in this morning of the 21st
century. It can be modified endlessly to
suit your likes and available natural items.
If I lived in northern blueberry country it would be fresh blueberries
in summer and dried blueberries in winter – either in place of the cranberries
or along with then. Although the initial
outlay for the various dried fruits costs a little hefty you’ll find that over
the time of using them up with this kind of cereal it ends up being many times
cheaper than doing the same basic cereals from high priced boxes in the stores. Fresh fruit – bananas, apples, etc. – can be
substituted when available and you will probably think of other ways to enhance
that old staple – Oatmeal Flakes.
