Whole-Grain Breakfast

What you need:

1 cup leftover cooked grain: rice, millet, etc.
1/2 cup nondairy milk, plain or vanilla
½ to 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Choose some or all of the following:
1-2 tablespoons raisins
2-4 chopped dates
other chopped dried fruit
1 to 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds; I like almonds and walnuts (1 tablespoon each)
shredded unsweetened coconut, to taste

What you do:

Combine rice and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in maple syrup and whatever other nuts/dried fruit you like. Microwave 2-3 minutes, or until the milk bubbles.
This is such a soothing, nutritious breakfast, I always try to remember it when we have leftover grain on hand!
You could probably chop fresh fruit onto this, too, after it's been microwaved. And you can add whatever spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) you like. The possibilities are endless!
