Domestic Diva - Bonus Edition!

Ladies, I couldn't keep this one to myself. We had the most awesome breakfast today. Even Elizabeth liked it, and she's picky in the morning. I love having a healthy breakfast with lots of whole grains and no added sugar. Here's a great recipe....get out your crock pots again!

Five Grain Breakfast (recipe from //recipes.sparkpeople.com)

Combine the following ingredients in your slow cooker:

2-1/2 tbsp bulgur wheat

2-1/2 tbsp brown rice

2 tbsp barley

2 tbsp quinoa

1/4 cup rolled oats

1 cup apples, diced

1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

3 cups water

1 tbsp vanilla extract

Cook on low for 6-8 hours, overnight. Add more cinnamon to taste and stir well before serving. You could also add in raisins. I put a handful of chopped nuts on top. Serves 3 generously, double it for a family of 5-6.

Here's the finished product:

If you are not familiar with whole grains like bulgur wheat and quinoa, you can find them in bulk bins at Whole Foods or Earth Fare. They are worth trying!
