A healthy perspective recipe

OK
Can't say I caught or killed any of the ingredients, but given the thread on a particularly intimate medical procedure dealt with elsewhere - here is my recipe for a muesli sort of thing.
What you can do, if you dont like milk on cereal (which I hate) is either have this with yoghurt or cut fruits of the season, or a combo of the lot. When out in the weeds the cut fruit is a good option- very filling, low GI and keeps you charged up during the day. This tends to go well with sliced banana, nectarine and apple, with a few grapes as well. Make sure you mix it all up or it can be a bit dry and you will cough and splatter someone.
You can also mix it up with butter or olive oil and, say, a beaten egg, and bake in the iron pot, or have as griddle cakes. A bit of SR flour also helps. You could also be adventurous and chuck in some diced ham or bacon - and do up a whole heap and have them as snacks throughout the day - plenty of carbs and energy - and that combo of the meat and the fruity stuff is just fine.
I always take this stuff camping/hunting and stuff. Its a change from the old eggs and bacon in the morning, but you can always have both. And the grains etc will help with the cholesterol of the fry up..
Anyhow:
2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup psyllium husk (careful with this, a bit dusty - worse than breathing in bamboo dust)
1 cup of bran (either unprocessed, oats or barley)
1/2 to 1 cup of sultanas
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup of chopped dried fruits - dates, apricots, apple
1/2 cup of dessicated coco-nut.
You can also chuck in unprocessed brown sugar (the sticky powerdery stuff, not the granules) for taste, as well as a few crushed weet-bix etc).
Get into the container and shake the bejasus out of it.
Have as indicated above.
