Truly, there are so many other things to feed your family than the run-of-the-mill boxed cereal that lines so much of your grocer's shelves.
And, honestly, it won't cost you oodles of extra money or added time.
Your family will not complain!
Packaged cereal is terrific for an "emergency" breakfast on occasion. But you wouldn't want to use it every day.
It's expensive, leaves the tummy hungry and has had to have vitamins imbibed into it in order for there to be any nutritional benefit.
Why not make something filling, healthful and new?
Here's one of our morning YUMMMMS!
Cooked in your slowcooker on "low" overnight, you'll wake up in the morning to great smells and hot food!
Cinnamon-Apple Brown Rice
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked brown rice
5 medium apples peeled and sliced (because we can, I have an apple peeler - a TERRIFIC investment to ANYone! It makes healthful cooking quick and easy! Ours looks exactly LIKE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE)
1 tblsp cinnamon
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk
5 cups water
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup butter
Directions:
Place all ingredients together in crock pot and let cook on low 7-8 hours. Serve! It can't get much easier than that!
this sounds good!, I may try this out, breakfasts is one of the things I am going to slowly start to change around my place, a more healthy less store bought stuff!!
This sounds great!!! I will try it this week. I am always a bit slow in the morning and cereal does get so expensive. Thank You!! ---Christie Cali, Richmond Virginia
Do you really need a whole stick of butter or can you use less?
About how many does this recipe serve? It sounds delicious!
~ From Carrie:
The recipe serves 10 easily. If you have a smaller family, feel free to halve it! And as for the butter - that is our taste. Yes, you certainly can cut the amount! The recipe is very forgiving! Experiment to see what your family likes best!

7 cups of liquid for 2 cups of rice sounds like a lot. Is that right?
Thank you!
From Carrie:
I realize seven cups sounds like a lot. But cooking long, overnight, you do not want it to get dry or it will be less tasty and will burn to your crock pot. Also, brown rice typically cooks slower and my family likes it soft, yet not mushy. The consistency when done is like oatmeal, or porridge.

Thank you so much for posting this. I made it last night for breakfast this morning. I am not much of a breakfast eater nor is my son. This is really good and very tasty and filling. Any other crockpot breakfast recipes you have I would love to try. This is WAY better than oatmeal...which I really don't like. I can't wait to see more.
