Muesli (/ˈmjuːzli/ or /ˈmuːzli/; Swiss German: Müesli [ˈmyəsli], Standard German: Müsli [ˈmyːsliː]) is a breakfast dish based on raw rolled oats and other ingredients including grains, fresh or dried fruits, seeds and nuts, and may be mixed with cow's milk, soy milk, almond milk, yogurt or fruit juice. (from Wikipedia)
And then, six or seven years later, I've been craving more comforting breakfasts. That's kind of hard to do when you don't eat grains. Oatmeal, fresh bread, and dutch babies are out the window. However, necessity(ish) is the mother of invention and there are many grainless versions of all those things cluttering up the web. I remembered the funny-smelling, porridge-like thing Mom used to make, and decided to give it a go. Behold, a muesli recipe to add to the collection!
Grain-free Muesli:
Serves roughly 3 people...odd number, I know
2 c. yogurt
1 apple, grated
1 small carrot (or half a large one), grated
1/3 c. shredded coconut
1 t. cinnamon
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and cover tightly. Place in fridge overnight. In the morning, serve in priceless china and top with nuts, raisins, and whatever else takes your fancy.

oh, and yes, I am eating dairy now! I can't handle a glass of milk (raw or pasteurized), but I'm eating more than my fair share of yogurt and cheese...and the occasional scoop of ice cream. :) Thanks to BB's, we have boatloads of all the grass-fed, organic, snooty yogurts at a cheap-o price.
