Muesli (Honey & Jam)

If this is your first time here, welcome. We are spending the week playing with the Muesli recipe on page 33 of The Feed Zone. Each day we are making it a new way and sharing the recipe with you. Here is a link to Muesli ~ Chocolate, Chocolate Chip which we shared yesterday.

Red, watery eyes, coughing, stuffy noses...allergies. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? How do you treat it? With our most recent move, both of our boys have discovered whatever is blowing in the air is making them blow their noses, bummer! Saturday was opening day for at our local Farmer's Market and we were able to finally find local honey. A much better way to treat the sniffles, than Benadryl, don't you agree? That local honey is key in today's recipe.

 They'd been playing outside all afternoon and his hands were filthy. Teaching good food prep manners, wash your hands boys!

 First in...oats.

 Ahhhhh, liquid silver....honey. (Come on, liquid gold is coffee, but honey runs a close second.)

 Look at the grin in Chas' face. He most certainly scooped in more than the 2 tablespoons our recipe has listed below.

 As I snapped this picture, Chas was digging in the drawer for the perfect wooden spoon with which to stir.

He found it.
We used an all fruit strawberry jam, which is sweetened with fruit juice and as you have already read, local honey.
