Breakfast by Three Bears

One morning a trio of fictional bears came to my home and delivered unto me their daily breakfast regiments. Before I could ask why they had selected me to bear these recipes, they had gotten into their AMC Gremlin and drove away.

Paddington Bear's Oatmeal

1 cup oatmeal
2 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup raisins (optional)

Spray your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and then combine ingredients in crockery. Cook on low overnight or for eight to ten hours. When the raisins cook with the oatmeal, they sweeten it. You can also add apples, cinnamon, and/or nuts.

Each slow cooker cooks differently, so you'll need to adjust the water and cooking time to find the right balance between mush and crunch.

Pooh Bear's Millet Cereal

1 cup millet
3 1/2 cups water
1 tbs butter

Spray your crockery with non-stick cooking spray and combine ingredients in your crock pot. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Serve like oatmeal with a dab of butter and salt or butter and maple syrup or butter and brown sugar. And, of course, honey.

Leftovers can be used for millet burger patties. Just add an egg and enough flour to hold it together. Fry on both sides and serve on bread with mayo, mustard, and sprouts.

Fozzi Bear's Spiced Prunes

1 lb dried prunes
4 cups water
2 slices orange
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 tsp vanilla

Place everything but vanilla into the crock pot. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove lid, turn off heat, and stir in vanilla. Serve lukewarm. These are good with sprouted wheat bread or you can serve chilled with whipped cream for dessert.

Enjoy your crock pot breakfast.
