I'll call this "Thursday" morning muesli! These recipes are basically a challenge for myself since it seems just about everyone has given up on the challenge. I'm going to use a different cookbook and do this again next year. It keeps me from being apathetic around dinnertime and it keeps me eating healthy. This recipe called for the following:
3 C rolled oat flakes (used 1 1/2 C)
1/2 C wheat germ (didn't use-my wheat germ was rancid)
1/2 C sesame seeds (didn't use-too many sesame seeds make me itch)
1/2 C sunflower seeds (used 1/4 C)
1/4 C pumpkin seeds (used 1/8 C)
1/2 C nuts, roughly chopped (used 1/4 C slivered almonds)
1 C dried fruit (used 1/2 C cranberries)
*I added 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
I'm not too sure about eating oats without cooking them-but that is what muesli is as opposed to granola which has been baked or roasted. Learn something new every day! I think I will add some water to mine and make some oatmeal or try stirring some into soy yogurt. Time for breakfast!

Great to see you back and feeling well! Yeah, the sugar does me in if I overindulge-I always have a migraine headache the next day. I still will eat a little though! I like the Happy Herbivore cookbooks,too. She doesn't use any extra oil either.
