In case you read this: we buy the Nature’s Path cereal in the Eco-Pack. At least there is no box. You can probably find it at most stores (Loblaws and Superstore have it in the organic section, in addition to all the health food stores). We like the Multi-Grain Flakes with Raisins, it’s kinda like Raisin Bran. There is a whole assortment to choose from.

That Kashi Go Lean Crunch isn’t so great for you anyway. textured soy protein concentrate (a key ingredient) is scary, scary stuff, especially if you’re drinking it with soy milk. Seriously stay away…the planet (cause of the plastic) and your thyroid will thank you.

[...] uses for an empty cereal box? The other day it became more difficult to ignore the amount of waste generated from one delicious box of cereal. In my little mind I can keep eating [...]

Stove top Granola

1 1/4 c oatmeal (not instant)
1/3 c chopped nuts
1/4 c wheat germ
1/3 c sesame seeds
1/3 c shredded coconut
1/4 c raisins
1/2 t ground cinnamon

Place oatmeal and nuts in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 5 min. Add wheat germ, sesame seeds, and coconut. Stir occasionally another 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Add raisins and cinnamon and stir.

I think I always leave out the wheat germ though. I have no idea what wheat germ looks like.

No kidding! Thanks for the delish recipes Stella and Kim… I’ll have to find a way to make them using my stove or something. I’m sure I could just cover a pot and stir it occasionally and it would work just as well.

Cheers!

Apparently we have cereal in common. It has been my main food all my life I’m a peanut butter panda puffs kid these days. I feel your pain though as it comes in such small boxes that I go through one box every couple days.

Muesli:

juice from 3 oranges and 1 lemon
zest/peel from 1 orange and 1 lemon
3+ cups of oatmeal
1.5 cups of steel cut oats (or barley or whatever)
1 cup prunes, chopped
1 cup raisins
walnuts, chopped

Mix everything but walnuts together, cover, and put aside overnight. When the oats and steel cut oats are soft enough to be edible, you can put in the walnuts. This is super good with soy milk.

You can also vary it with grapefruit or dried apricots or what ever.

Hi, have really enjoyed reading your blog. I make my own granola a few times a week from this recipe.

2 tbsp veg oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups large flake oats
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries

Heat the veg oil, honey and vanilla until liquidified. Add nuts and oats. Bake in 350 oven , for 20 minutes, stirring for every five minutes. The stirring point is really important, otherwise, you’ll end up with squirrel food. It burns pretty easily.
Let cool, add cranberries and raisins. Of course, you can change the nuts and fruit to your liking.
