Ok, so what are we eating this week???

Breakfast
We have oatmeal with dried fruit for breakfast almost every day. This week we are having our oatmeal with Apples. (Rating 5 of 5 stars)


We cook only what we will use for the day.
Shopping list for the week:
2 Cups Rolled Oats
2 Cups Triticale
2 Cups Barley flakes
Brown Sugar
Dried Fruit
Vanilla flavored Oat Milk

Recipe (serves 2)
1 1/2 Cups water (bring to a boil)
2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar (mix into boiling water)
1/3 cup dried fruit (this varies depending on what fruit it is)(mix into boiling water)
1 1/2 Cups of mixture of oats, triticale and barley (or check for a 7 grain mixture in your bulk food aisle)

Stir in grains and keep stirring for about 30 seconds. Take off heat and cool a little.

When you are ready to serve it, add some milk to it. We add Vanilla Flavored Oat Milk to ours. Paul also adds freshly ground flax seed and wheat germ to his.


Lunch

Winter Vegetable Couscous (Rating 4.5 of 5 stars)



Recipe taken directly from Joy of Cooking

Dinner

Black Bean Soup and Corn Scones (Rating Soup: 4 of 5 stars, scones: dogfood)



I enjoyed the soup, which was just a really nice chili, but the scones did not turn out well. I *never* toss "good" food, but the scones are dog treats this week. Ironic that this is the week I started my blog...

These recipes came from Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home
