So, I'm really trying to feed my family more nutritious food, and I need ideas. I think we should post a bunch of recipes that you actually use and that are healthy, and of course tasty. Sondra maybe you can just start experimenting. :) But I'd like recipes that use chicken or beef stock or grains/legumes that have been soaked, lots of vegetables, low or no sugar, low carb, or whatever. Just good, healthy, practical, and yummy food. Desserts are very welcome as well, just try and keep them healthy. :) Anyway, so here is one. Please, please, please, help me by posting more recipes.
Everyone has had cracked wheat for breakfast, but I haven't done it for a
long time so I thought I'd give it a try. My kids loved it, and ate
second and third helpings.
Cracked Wheat/Grain
1 to 2 ratio of wheat to warm water (i.e. 1 cup wheat 2 cups of warm water) plus 1-2 Tablespoons of and acid medium (whey, apple cider vinegar, buttermilk, yogurt, lemon juice, etc.) Soak for 12-24 hours, then drain, rinse, and add water (same ratio) and cook on lower heat for 15-20 min. The longer you cook the more tender it will be.
When it is soft enough, then drain water, add lots of butter, and honey to taste. You can eat it like this, or you can add a flavored yogurt or milk. I cheated and used a vanilla yogurt from the store, but my kids loved it. I did blend some in the blender for my younger ones so they didn't have to chew so much. I tried it with oat groats as well, and it was also really yummy.
