[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 142438, member: 1991"] Word of warning on brown rice - it needs to be cooked for almost twice as log as plain white rice. For those in the family not on a low-fat diet, brown rice is fabulously yummy with butter and salt. We're having stir-fried beef and vegetables tonight so I cooked myself some brown rice well ahead, so I could have that when everyone else has white rice with their dinner. And as I said before, it made a really delicious fried rice, with the other vegetables and some prawns (which I keep frozen in the freezer, just grab a few when I need them and thaw first). Muesli - it's Swedish in origin. There are some healthy ones and not healthy ones. Those with extra sugar and fat - not healthy. In general toasted muesli is not healthy for a diet like ours. An alternative to walnuts - pecans. But with muesli, use whatever nuts you happen to like but watch out for their fat content. It's healthy fat (monosaturate) but we need to eliminate as much fat as possible, including the good ones. Chopping or slicing the nuts makes them go further, spreads more flavour through the muesli. A basic muesli is based on rolled oats, which I can't eat. It's supposed to be high in fibre, no added sugar (apart from a small amount of dried fruit) and can be eaten with hot milk or cold. husband likes to let his sit until it all goes soggy (bleh). I'll dig out my recipe and put it here. Gotta dash - husband is cooking, he might need my help. Marg [/QUOTE]
