So clearly I didn't make everything over the weekend that I had planned. Actually, I didn't make anything that I had planned! But I did make some delicious breakfast. It's kind of a cross between oatmeal and rice pudding. I made a double batch this time, and I was glad I did - it served as breakfast for both yesterday and today. Mine took forever to cook - I blame it on my stove. (I tend to blame things on my oven/stove not working. They probably deserve it most of the time.) So you should definitely try this for breakfast. It's really easily adaptable - you can sub in your favorite pureed fruit or dried fruit for the applesauce or raisins.
