Muesli

While living in Germany, my husband fell in love with Muesli. It was an inexpensive breakfast or snack. However, when we moved back home, we found that Muesli was very expensive. So, it became a rare treat. When I started thinking about birthday gift ideas for my husband, Muesli was one of the first things that came to mind. I did some online research and made a list of ingredients that I remembered to be in the Muesli that he loved so much and I came up with this recipe. When I put it together, I made myself a bowl right away to taste it. Well, I ate two bowls full and decided to make another batch because I knew that my husband would devour it in no time flat.  And, I was right. He enjoyed it so much that I have made yet another batch since then.
