It usually calls for sugar and regular milk or sweetened condensed milk, but I "McDougallized" it. It isn't quite as sweet, but I like it. Mary McDougall uses fat-free cocoa in a lot of recipes, but I haven't been able to find it here, so I just look for the cocoa with the lowest fat content. You can make it soupy and eat it like hot cereal for breakfast (this is what a lot of Filipinos do) or make it a little thicker and chill it for chocolate-rice pudding. It is very filling so if you eat it for breakfast you stay full all morning. I put it into 1/2 c. containers (like the little Pyrex custard cups) and also eat it as a snack. Here is my version of the recipe that I posted on my blog (scroll to bottom recipe):

THANKS, Gramma Jackie!

Ok, For breakfast:
I had my regular oatmeal with fruit, a few walnuts (I'm not on MWL).

After 30 mile bike ride:
Green smoothie (I don't have smoothies very often but needed to use up some spinach! The smoothie also had some kale, banana, some frozen tropical fruit. Some pineapple juice too.)
Rip's Mighty Muffin

Lunch: Leftover Pineapple Teriyaki Chickpeas over brown rice

Snack: Sugar snap peas

Dinner: Four Spice Quinoa and a side (half of my plate actually) of broccoli.

I did not saute in oil as instructed in recipe, used water instead. I added the water and spices all at once and covered with lid and let simmer on low for 15 mins. I also added some diced zucchini and summer squash to the last few minutes of cooking. I had some roasted sweet potato that I chopped up and added too. This was so good!

Pineapple Teriyaki Chickpeas???? YUM!! Recipe??

http://testkitchentuesday.com/2011/04/1 ... chickpeas/

http://happyherbivore.com/2008/10/spicy ... chickpeas/

I looked at both of these recipes and kind of combined them.
I didn't have the pineapple salsa the happy herbivore recipe called for but the test kitchen tuesday recipe called for pineapple tidbits. I used those and also used teriyaki sauce. The carrots took FOREVER to cook the first time I made it...not sure why...so the 2nd time I made it I omitted those.

This was delicious!
