Comfort Breakfast

Baby, it's cold outside! Call in the forces, stat! Sweatpants, check. Over-sized hoody, check. Big ol' bowl of  Red River Cereal, check! 

I know it doesn't sound very appealing, I was resistant to it too at first. Mr. Bliss had picked it up for himself but he never seemed to get into it.

One cold morning I was desperately looking for a pouch of oatmeal to cook up for breakfast but turned up empty handed. The container of Red River Cereal stared back at me. Gingerly, I opened it and looked inside at the multitude of gritty grains. Bugger it all, I'll give it a shot.

Red River Cereal a la Prairie Bliss

1/4 cup Red River Cereal

1 cup Water

Pinch of Salt

Combine and pop into the microwave for 7 minutes. Stir. cover and let sit for about 3 minutes.

At this point it looks pretty... blah.. and unappealing. However, the neutrality of the cereal lends itself to a lot of tasty toppings:

Brown sugar and cinnamon

Brown sugar and blueberries

Almond butter and pureed raspberries

I'm not a photographer. I am so sorry.

Or my personal favorite:

Nutmeg

Half and Half

Raspberries

Honey

Toasted Pecans

All measurements are "to taste". 

Now that my soul is prepared to head out the door, it's time to prep my body. *shudder*
