Great Hot Healthy Breakfast Cereal Recipe

I've been cleaning things up around the house, doing a lot of Flylady decluttering. As I've been doing that, I've had the luck to find things I thought I had lost. One of them is this recipe for a hot breakfast cereal that was at one time on The Fertile Soul website. It is no longer there and I've really, really missed it. I was so happy the day I found this and in case I lose the paper copy I have, let's put it on my blog, so I can look it up whenever I need it. Plus it's yummy! You should all try it!

Oatmeal or Immune Support Breakfast
4 cups rolled oats
2 cups oat bran
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup ground sunflower seeds
1 cup ground flax seeds

I grind the seeds and nuts in a nut and spice grinder I've used for making baby food before. I hear a coffee grinder works well too. Mix all the ingredients and store in a big ziplock bag in the freezer.

To make breakfast - take 1/3 cup and you can soak overnight covered in water, or just add plenty of water in the morning. If you soaked it overnight, you only need 30 seconds in the microwave to heat it up, or a minute or minute and 30 seconds if you added the water in the morning. You will need to play with the amount of water that works for you. You can garnish this with fresh fruit, yogurt or maple syrup. I like mine with raisins and almond or rice milk.

Enjoy!

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
