    During the week, I like to eat breakfasts that are quick and that I don't have to cook. Last week I made Elana's grain-free granola, and have been eating that every morning this week. I love cereal and haven't been able to enjoy it since I stopped eating grains, so it has been a welcome treat. Does anyone know of any other recipes for grain-free cereals? Or any grain-free alternatives that are sold in stores?

    My mom lives on buckwheat in the morning. Of course, this is buckwheat straight, not pancakes or anything like that. Buckwheat is actually a fruit and not a grass/grain. I have been meaning to ask Elana about her opinion on buckwheat.

    I use this brand for easy cooking.

    My mom buys the buckwheat in bulk and just soaks the raw groats overnight and eats it in the morning like grapenuts with seeds, dried fruit and almond milk.

    I like perchasing the KASHA from Pocono and cooking it as a hot cereal in the morning or making it as a savory side for a dinner.

    I have found this brand at my local heath food store and at Whole Foods.

    I have a bunch of quick cereals that I love. Check them out (and their reviews) on my website www.foodintolerancescook.wordpress.com and then click on reviews and look under the tag cereal or breakfast (or just search one). I also have recipes and reviews of other products (GF-sugar free-dairy free)

    For breakfast I really like Cream of Rice with vanilla Rice Dream & dried cranberries. All of this is sold in the stores, and I buy the cranberries in bulk which is cheaper!

    My daughter eats millet, quinoa, and buckwheat (kasha) for breakfast.

    If you are looking for a ready-made, Kay's Naturals offers several. http://kaysnaturals.com/products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2 I like the apple cinnamon the best.

    I make my own with nuts. Just chopped nuts or nut meal(can mix more than one kind, toasted or not), sweetener of choice and milk of choice. Tastes good and with a bit more protein holds me till lunch. Makes a good snack too when you need just a bite.
