Spring is on it's way!

September 1st, is officially the start of Spring for us living in the Southern hemisphere. It makes me feel happy that the weather is starting to warm up and there are an abundance of Spring flowers making an appearance about.
There is also a heavenly fragrance, around in the air.

I want to share my museli recipe ~ this is so good and much nicer than what you buy in a box, which is normally overloaded with a lot of sugar.
This smells so good to when you are making it and my son came down the stairs and asked was I baking a cake?
Such a great way to start the day, for breakfast with some yoghurt and milk.


Ingredients

1 kg packet of whole rolled oats
1 cup of oat bran
1 cup of wheat germ
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (half a cup)
1/2 cup brown sugar
50ml rice bran or canola oil
2/3 cup trim milk
1-2 cups of dried fruit and mixed nuts

Method


Mix all the ingredients together in a large oven dish, except for the fruit.
Cook at 150 C/ 300F for 45 minutes stirring at regular intervals.
Turn the oven off and leave until the oven is cold.
The next day mix in the dried fruit and nuts, of your choice.

Wishing you a joyful week
Hugs
Carolyn

  5. Dear Carolyn,

    You are so lucky! In Holland the first signs of autumn are visible. The smell of damp is in the air and the leaves on the trees are already changing colour. I hope you will get a lovely spring. Your bowl of muesli looks like a great start of the day!

    Lieve groet,

  9. Yaaay Spring - it is truly time to do some major spring cleaning both personally and the house.
    I love Spring, off to the markets on Friday for an event I am organising - keeps me busy and out of trouble.

  10. OH CAROLYN, I have made something similar and IS IT NOT DELISH????

    I eat this every morning, but with a twist:

    I use vanilla Greek style yogurt and I put in a TBSP of cocoa powder. Then raw oats, raw almonds, FROZEN raisins and frozen unsweetened cherries. OH MY, your eyes will roll back in delight!

    ENJOY YOUR SPRING MY FRIEND! Anita

  29. DARLING CAROLYN!

    Oh, precious one...I get excited when I think of hearing those children bust through the doors (they are not supposed to!) on Tuesday morning. My heart will be pounding, but once we really meet as a class, all will be well. Don't you love those pink erasers????

    MUCH LOVE TO YOU MY FRIEND and enjoy the tiny wonders of buds in your garden!!!!

    BISOUS, Anita

  30. Hi Carolyn! Happy Springtime to you lucky girl. My favorite time of the the year with all the pretty blossoms! Here in Pennsylvania weather is changing....today is 89 degrees tomorrow will be 67 brrr!

    Thanks for sharing your museli recipe. I will try it this week! I hate how there is so much sugar and high fructose corn syrup in everything.

    Hope your and your family are doing well. It's great to here from you. It's great to be back blogging!

    Warm hugs ~ Jenn xo
