BREAD AND CEREAL
Overnight Oatmeal
This is a great way to cook oatmealâor brown riceâfor those wintry, cold mornings. Cooking on low heat or in a cold oven at 200°F overnight retains optimum mineral values since minerals are easily destroyed at high temperatures.
½ cup steel-cut oats
2½ cups purified water, boiled
Combine oats and water in a small Crock-Pot or slow cooker on low heat. Cover and cook on low heat overnight or until done.
Enjoy in the morning!
Variations :
⢠Add 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil to the oatmeal after cooking and right before serving or how about a tablespoon or two of Flaxy Butter Spread ( page 216 )?
â¢
For phase 3 Special Occasion:
add a spoonful of mixed dried fruits like dates, figs, and apricots. Or sweeten instead with a tablespoon of date sugar or honey.
