homemade breakfast cereal

I am at the best of times, a day, and even some times, years, late... on the latest fads.

Healthy eating takes time and preparation. The flour must be freshly ground, soaked for at least eighteen hours, baked as a cake, crumbled into desired sized pieces and then baked in a low temperature oven( I set mine at 175 degrees) for many hours.

I eat mine with organic plain unsweetened almond milk. It crunches so nicely!
