...Muesli!
I was offered a new job a few weeks ago (YEA!) and took myself out to breakfast to celebrate.
I had heard of Muesli but didn't really know what it was. I saw it on the menu at the restaurant I went to, and thought it sounded good, so I ordered it!

After trying it, I couldn't wait to eat it again. So I looked around at the grocery store, and found Dorset brand cereals. Check them out here: http://www.dorsetcereals.co.uk/mueslis/
Once that was all gone, I wanted to try to make some because I knew I had a lot of the ingredients on hand. I found an easy recipe online, here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/muesli
Here's how easy their recipe is:
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ (I didn't have this so I just left it out)
1/2 cup wheat bran (I didn't have this either! So I used ground flax seed)
1/2 cup oat bran
1 cup raisins (I did a half cup of raisins and a half cup of dried cranberries)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I did a mix of cashews, pecans, and almonds)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds (I didn't have these so I used Chia seeds!)
Mix it all up and store in an airtight container!
Then when you eat it, add in fresh fruit. I added many different fruits when I ate it. I like to eat this best with almond milk poured over it. I tried it with soy yogurt and then realized the soy yogurt still had dairy in it. FAIL. (note- read the labels if you want to try something non-dairy!)
