We eat a lot of cereal around here. The truth is we just eat a lot and there aren’t even any teenagers in the house yet!
Weekday breakfasts are almost always cereal since that means the big two can supervise while I take a shower and get set for school. I had been buying cereal at the discount grocery, but we kept running out at odd moments and we were really limited in what we could buy. I don’t like the sugary cereals and there aren’t many commercial ones that don’t include some form of dairy.
Sooo…
I bought a fifty pound bag of rolled oats and started making granola (which is a post for another time). And that was fine for a while but got kind of boring every day.
Then I was looking through my cookbook (More With Less from the Mennonite Central Committee one of the few cookbooks I would not willingly part with) and saw that they had a recipe for homemade Grape Nuts!
Yay! Two cereals I can make at home.
Actually one cereal the six year old can make with some supervision! Even better….
And here’s the recipe!

Clever Mouse! I’m so proud of you, girlie! And of your Mama too.
Just think- in four years Hope could be doing this for you! They grow up so fast!
