Yummy, nutritious breakfast

I've had various people ask for this "recipe". It's more an idea than a recipe. I've really grown to enjoy this breakfast. Make a little bit to see if you like it. Now I make around 3 cups of it, so I can have a quick breakfast. I did take pictures of this, but they all came out blurry. I'll try again tonight! You can eat this with water, but I'm not that much of a raw purist. I've done it, and it's still good. But... milk tastes better. I've never tried it, but I think vanilla soy milk would be delicious with it. Play with the amounts of things and ingredients to suit your tastes.

rolled oats, not instant or quick
wheat germ
wheat bran
flax seed, ground
coconut (I like mine toasted, but it's fine not toasted)
nuts (same as coconut) pecans (my favorite), waltnuts, etc.
seeds, sunflower or pumpkin
sometimes I add a little salt
dried cherries (from Costco)
brown sugar or agave nectar (better for you)

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Somewhat by accident, I got the female lead in the next Lehi play! The oldest three kids are also in it. Now, you all you know I'm not an actress and have no acting experience (one play in ninth grade really doesn't count considering it was in a Mississippi public school!). So you're all invited, but go light on me!!! It's a one-hour show, season-appropiate comedy for the whole family. We'll have 6 performances Dec. 8-13. Tickets are available for $5 each or $20 per family at lehicityarts.org. Friday and Saturday will sell out for sure.

Alice in Wonderland Performance






Here are a couple of pics of Ch. He did a great job!
