BIRCHER MUESLI - Makes 8 servings
2 cups large flake rolled oats
1/2 cup barley flakes (optional)

1 apple, peeled and grated
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate overnight for up to a week.
Serve with a tad of milk or plain yogurt

When we had this in Australia, it was shaped by placing your meal portion in a cup and plating it from the emptying the cup to form a nice little molded shape. They drizzled yogurt over the top and down one side. On top of the yogurt, they drizzled grated apple. It looked like a dessert it was so pretty. At any rate, Joaquim made me a bowl of this before he left and I am still enjoying it every day. So easy when I am rushing out the door to go to work.
I add raisins and crushed almonds to mine....but feel free to toss in whatever you like (sunflower seeds, flax, extra fruit)
