let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.
this is probably my favorite breakfast.
1/2 cup steamed millet
1 sliced banana
small handful of walnuts
dash of soy milk on top
to steam millet, first measure how much you want to make and then rinse it in a mesh strainer. it has a bitter exterior to deter birds, and you need to rinse it off.
steam it just as you would rice; 2:1 water to millet.
example: 1/2 cup millet, 1 cup water, bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer until the water is absorbed and your grain is tender.
for my dearest ash, just substitute another fruit like strawberries or pears! yes, i recommend pears! : )
I love millet! Thanks for the idea. Millet is alkaline and very good for your body when it is fighting infection. Also, it was eaten a lot during World War I when food was scarce and people who ate it were healthier at the end of the war then they had been before. But, you probably already knew that!
ReplyDeleteooh, i did not know that bit about world war I. it's aslo supposed to help decrease the symptoms of menstrual cramps. and it's higher in protein than other grains (wheat).
