Re: Cereal
my mom always wanted us to eat total with skim milk<br /><br />however, when I would visit my cousins, they had frosted flakes and vit D whole milk, which to me tasted like CREAM, lol, omg I loved Tony the Tiger and Bossie the Cow!<br /><br />These days, well, I try to source grains from a variety of sources both to gain additional nutrients that may be lacking in another gain, and to avoid specific pesticides pertaining to any single grain<br /><br />I like to toast dry oatmeal in a non stick dry pan, just til it starts to smell a bit nutty ... careful, nutty turns to burnt rather quickly unless you are using a low flame<br /><br />same with grits and rye and spelt and almost any rolled grain, kamut is good too<br /><br />sprinkle a little ground flaxseed for fiber (and lingans) and omega 3 rich oil, cinnamon for sugar control (oh yeah, and TASTE, yummm!)I throw a few raisins in too, or a dried fruit mixture, it rehydrates and gives variety to the meal<br /><br />good stuff, try it, especially if you are over forty and havent been too good in the Clean Living dept (yall know who yall are, lol)<br /><br />cooked or soaked overnight like muesli, its tasty stuff!
Next would be Total Corn Flakes with banana and milk, but before that THAT would be three eggs fried, three strips bacon, two patties of maple syrup sausage all on toast with cheese grits on the side. I can eat all that for LESS than the two bowls of cereal I get out of a box
