September 15, 2006, Newsletter Issue #146: HORSE CHOW

Tip of the Week

Horse Chow is a combination of raw oats and dried or fresh fruits. You can also add nuts and seeds as well. There are about a million combinations. Itīs delicious, healthy and cheap. The kids like to add their favorites, and eat this fast, uncooked oatmeal/granola.
Here is the basic recipe:
4 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
1/2 cup raisins
juice of 1 lemon
dash of salt
a little vegetable oil to moisten
Mix all together and eat.

Note: Everything but the oats is optional. I substituted blueberries for the raisins, which was great! We have also added apples and cinnamon, and done strawberries with some milk. You can serve this with any fresh or dried fruit, and add a little milk. It then becomes a quick version of Muesli, a favorite European breakfast.
