MULTI-GRAIN HOT CEREAL (SLOW-COOKER)
Made with steel cut oats, quinoa, wheat berries, and brown rice. Adapted from a recipe from the Complete Whole Grains Cookbook by Judith Finlayson. I love it because it is super healthy, super easy, and reheats perfectly.

Steps:
- dump everything into a lightly greased, large crockpot.
- Cook on low overnight (about 6 hours was enough for me); or on high for 4 hours.
- The original recipe suggests adding additional dried fruits, like raisins or cranberries in the last hour before serving. I topped mine with some maple syrup.
- *I used a brown, long-grain basmati rice, but I'm sure any length rice would work fine. Also, I didn't have any apples, but I had some dehydrated apple-chips which I crushed and tossed in -- they worked great.

Steps:
- NOTE: Measurements above are arbitrary. Feel free to omit any grain or substitute your favorite grain(s).
- In Dutch oven on medium heat, lightly toast the hardy grains (such as brown rice, whole barley, buckwheat groats) for approximately 8-10 minutes or until fragrant.
- Keep stirring grains constantly so they don't burn.
- Add remaining grains and toast another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool mixture slightly.
- Process grain mixture in batches in food processor, grain mill or blender fitted with steel blade. Grind grains to medium coarse consistency (grainy but not powdered.) Transfer ground grains to airtight container and store in refrigerator or freezer.
- To prepare hot cereal*: To 1 cup of rapidly boiling water add 1/3 cup scant of cereal. Continue boiling 30 seconds, breaking up lumps with a fork. Reduce heat, cover pan and simmer cereal for 10-12 minutes.
- *For thinner consistency cereal either increase water or reduce amount of cereal.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Add your favorite toppings such as cinnamon, flax seeds, milk, etc.
CROCK POT HOT MULTIGRAIN CEREAL
One of my favorite ways to begin the day, and you can use your slow cooker to ensure that all family members get off to a nutritious start. Cook the cereal overnight and leave the slow cooker on Warm in the morning. Everyone can help themselves according to their schedules. Try using Irish oatmeal or steel cut oats, instead of traditional rolled oats for a crunchier version. Multigrain cereals are one way of ensuring that you maximize the nutritional benefits of cereal grains. You can buy them pre packaged, usually in 3, 5 or 7 grain combinations or under a brand name, or you can make your own by combining your favorite grains. Store multigrain cereal in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Steps:
- You need a blender(or food processor, or better yet, a coffee grinder) to make this recipe.
- Get out your coffee grinder.
- Measure the dry oatmeal into it.
- Whirl the oatmeal until it is powdery, like flour.
- Dump the oatmeal into a mixing bowl.
- Measure the barley into the blender.
- Process it until powdery.
- Dump it into the bowl with the oatmeal.
- Measure the brown rice into the blender.
- Process it until powdery.
- The rice will take longer processing than the oatmeal or barley.
- It will be a tiny bit coarser after blending too, that is alright.
- When it is as powdery as you can get it, dump it into the bowl with the other grains.
- Add the whole wheat flour and the cornmeal, along with the sesame seeds, is using.
- Stir the mixture up to combine it thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture to a resealable container and label.
- Store on the pantry shelf.
- Makes 3 1/4 cups.
- To Cook: 1/3 cup 5 Grain Cereal, 1 cup cold tap water, Dash Salt, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar(or 1 tbls. honey).
- In a small saucepan combine the cereal and cold water.
- You use cold water because it prevents lumps.
- Add the salt and brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve with milk.
- Makes 1 serving.
- To make 4 servings, use 1 cup of 5 Grain Cereal, 3 cups of cold tap water, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/3 cup brown sugar.
- This is a very healthy and hearty way to start the morning.
- I like this cereal much better than most other mixed grain cereals I have tried.
- The rice gives the cooked cereal a nice chewy texture which contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the whole wheat flour and cornmeal.
- If you don't have quick barley, you can replace it with more oatmeal, or even wheat germ, or wheat bran.
- I've also thought that Rye Flour might make a nice addition, although I have never tried it.
- This cereal is an excellent source of B vitamins and fiber.
