Peta has fond memories of having a quite, shared moment with her dad back in Perth each morning. Breakfast of the working man started with a bowl of muesli, milk and a read of the newspaper. After nearly 5 years of being in the US, Peta decided enough was enough and had to make her own. We are not talking about Granola here - this is more "honest" and better for you. Making our own muesli fits with the idea of knowing where our food comes from, knowing what is in it and how to make it taste just right...
This is delicious served with milk, but Jim is more partial the the thickness of yoghurt with his (see Peta's homemade yoghurt).
Batch for ~ 2 weeks
4 cups of rolled oats
15 dried apricots - chopped up
cup of raisins
3/4 cup of slivered almonds
sunflower seeds
sesame seeds
shaved coconut (optional)
Toast the oats, almonds and sesame seeds in a shallow pan tossing frequently. Note: toasting seperately is best, as they do heat differently. Mix all ingredients and store ready for eating!
Peta is on a bit of health kick right now.. so if you are interested in knowing what the average calorie intake will be, check out the above breakdown. Please note that this does not include a batch with sesame seeds (as we ran out!) Peta will update when she makes the next batch. This serving size is about 2/3 cup.
