For my own reference - breakfast cereal mix

Morning Hot Cereal Mix

· ½ cup oatmeal

· ½ cup Cream of Wheat cereal

· ½ cup Red River or multigrain hot cereal mix – I use Quaker Simple Harvest Oatmeal maple brown sugar with pecans.

· ½ cup wheat germ

· ½ cup oat bran

· 1/2 cup raisins

· ½ cup mixed dried fruit: cranberries, cherries and blueberries

· ½ cup slivered almonds

· ¼ cup protein powder (optional) - I use vanilla protein powder that has 26 grams of protein/scoop

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container to keep for weeks. I store mine in a wide-mouth Ball-Mason quart canning jar.

To make breakfast use ½ cup of the dried mixture and 1 cup water to make 1 cup of cooked cereal.

Stovetop Directions:

Mix and heat on medium-high until boiling. Continue cooking on low heat mixture thickens and has a porridge-like consistency.

Microwave Directions:

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really have time to cook on the stovetop in the morning when I am working. I make mine in the microwave in a covered Pyrex casserole dish. Microwave for 3 minutes be cautious and stop microwave to stir if it appears that it might boil over.

Stir, then microwave for another minute until mixture thickens and has a porridge-like consistency. I use 1-2 tsps of turbinado or raw sugar to sweeten.
