Me: 👀 Open open open! 👀

I went there I can’t find the recipe

Thank you

What are examples of "thick" rice?

Have you ever tried the tortilla press on the Bran Flake dough? I bet it would make a nice thin flake.

Agree

🤯

Right!

😂❤❤❤I think I shared this 5 time already, Cassandra!

Absolutely!

Have you tried the cornflake recipe? ...I'm a bit hesitant because the first way is how I make tostadas and chips, can't imagine it tasting like corn flakes.

Okay curious minds want to know.... did you actually make any of these cereals or just watch the video while you ate the donuts?

I'm watching this because of your comment!

There's something so alluring and comforting about cereal 😩❤ I'm with you on that. (I haven't had cereal in months tho- can't afford it lmao)

​​​​@@hcure4003Cereal is one of the cheapest things to eat for me, bran flakes are like £1.20 a kilo (Aldi) so a medium sized/75g bowl is like £0.10, plus a cup of soya milk which is £0.12. That with a bit of sugar and it comes out to

Exactly

I have thought about it but couldn't figure it out. So grateful.

I avoided it because of the huge costs. ($6 for a standard size box where I am, sales barely help.) I suppose I could technically use the flake recipes with some chocolate to make a mock special K cereal. Hmmm...

Great job & U look young health y &Smat🙏❤️🥸😇🦍✌️🐝👌🧚‍♀️

You should still avoid cereal because a breakfast of carbs, mixed with more carbs(sugar), and milk is still not a good breakfast.

I'm so excited to try this but pissed that our country has allowed us to eat this for decades. Welp! We know now, we don't have any excuses, we just need to create the time to do better for ourselves.

@@appetizerssushi7121 who allowed us to eat garbage for food? We have chosen to eat garbage. Nobody can force you to do anything except pay taxes. America is the only country whose government allows food manufacturers to poison its citizens and nobody says a word nor do we stop buying it. America is a nation of consumers and that is not a good thing. America is the fattest nation on the planet not because we purposely eat too much but because we are malnourished so we continue to eat because our bodies are starving to death.

Kellogs has a business school. They understand marketing

Do you think making food with that much sugar is healthy?

@@user-ug4ok3ov2t when you make it yourself you control how much sugar you use.

The whole story behind corn flakes was that W. Kellogg had a brother who was a tyrant who wouldn't allow sugar in the house. That's why corn flakes have sugar in them. It's a feature, not a bug.

I literally said the same thing 😅 🌮 I lost it!! 😭

Thank you! Truly! I appreciate this!!

😆😆 You're goood 😁❤

@@BecomingaFarmGirl you should be able to copy the text and paste it into your description and YT will add chapters automatically. (If you can't copy text from YT, I sometimes (on Android) take a screenshot, then use Google Lens to OCR the text out of the image. THEN you can copy it. Lol. Technology.)

@@BecomingaFarmGirl oh and THANK YOU for making this amazing video!!!!!!

Thank you ❤

Bringing your grandson into the kitchen to help make something he enjoys is such a lovely idea! Food really is the way to the heart. Best to you and your family

Same I have two autistic children at home and food is a challenge. This will change the game. If no one has told you today that you are doing a fantastic job as a Grandma I will.. much ❤

I hope the homemade cereal worked for him. Sometimes the texture change between store bought and homemade will be too much of a difference for people on the spectrum, but hopefully it ended up being a good safe food.

That’s awesome 🥣

Wow, that sounds like a great memory. Thanks for sharing =)

Sounds yummy

Love these notes, thank you for sharing. If you come across it, date sugar is also worth a go. It is simply dehydrated dates that have been ground down to granulated sugar size pieces. While it can be used spoon for spoon like sugar, I find I need less to get the sweetness satisfaction. It has a caramel sweetness note and is also more healthy than sugar as well as providing. I am working on trying to make my own as it is so expensive where I live in Scotland. We have lots of oats here, and grape nuts are not sold here, so I am looking forward to making them and will use your notes alongside Cassandra’s recipe. I grew up in Vermont where maple syrup flows through our veins. If you have easy access to real maple syrup, making your own maple sugar is quite easy, especially if you have a dehydrator as it makes the process so much quicker. We had our own sugar shack when I was growing up, tapped our own trees, etc. Birch syrup, made the same way maple syrup is made (by boiling down the fresh sap) is also delicious. My favorite childhood memory was when the adults were making the syrup, we would enjoy having “sugar on snow”, getting bowls of fresh clean snow and drizzling the freshly boiled syrup into over the snow, then using tooth picks or ice cream sticks to twirl the quickly cooled syrup “candy” onto it to eat. Pure heaven. Of course then we were wound for sound with all the sugar, so we would go sledding or build snow forts, have snowball fights, etc. While I have family all over the US, most still live in VT and I am lucky enough to get home once a year where they always have a gallon or two of liquid gold waiting for us to bring back. We ran out during covid lockdown and that was when I discovered fig syrup and fig sugar. It is a great sweetener without being just nutritionally empty calories.

If I'm not much mistaken, though, Honey is 20 times sweeter than regular refined sugar, at least, that's what I heard at one point. So, if you only need a tiny bit, you could get away with using half, just water it down, maybe. Also, I heard that Coconut sugar doesn't spike the glycemic index the way that regular sugar does. I use coconut sugar in all my baking now because my husband is hypoglycemic and my mom was just recently diagnosed as borderline pre-diabetic. So far, no issues since using the coconut sugar, as long as mom doesn't get into the moonpies and other sweets that she loves. And how about stevia leaves. You could use that, and not have too many problems. Just thinking about possibilities.

Do you have a recipe for Kellogg’s vanilla almond flakes….my favorite but I rarely buy it as the sugars are too high 🥲

Thank you!!!

Hmm I don't think she recommended *quick* steel cut, just steel cut oats

Awww, thank you. Homemade cereal isn't as complicated as it looks, and for the price you pay at the store, its totally worth it!

​@@BecomingaFarmGirl please share where we may purchase quality ingredients to replicate the cereals you made. Thanks much

We did the same thing in the Southern US with corn meal. It was like a cereal and we would add milk or cinnamon.

I make my cornflakes like you do. Because I am in a wheelchair and my counters are too high and I do not have the strength to keep rolling with a pin, I use my pasta machine to roll the dough out super, super thin. It works so well and is much faster for me to do at the kitchen table. I make up several batches of the dough at one time and freeze for later use so I don’t need to do quite as much work when it is time to make more. Kate, what a kind hearted and loving woman you are, taking in children who are failing to thrive at home. The world needs so many more people like you! ❤️

@@shelleysmith4017 thank you so much! Sometimes there is no “no” answer. I had known them all their little lives. I knew there was a lot wrong in their bio-house but I didn’t know how much until I had to undo and reraise them in an effort for them to grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. It wasn’t easy at all and I often wondered why I was doing it but I never considered giving up on them and having them get lost in the system. I adopted all three once the parents rights were terminated and their status changed to adoption. They were teens at that time and most likely wouldn’t have been adopted.

So it's just the straight dough, rolled then dried? It doesn't need frying or cooking in any way?

don’t have diabetes but also had to give up breakfast cereal because it left me with a midmorning low where I could not even work!!

100% maple syrup does not spike blood sugar and is a good sugar substitute.

@@divinelyguided3467 thank you.

@kimd.4100 You're welcome. After asking the Most High to heal me of the sugar issues, He showed me the maple leaf in a vision. It has healing properties.

@@divinelyguided3467 Our Lord is always there.

That is genius!!!

Hello friend! I’ve made homemade rice krispy treats using my home puffed rice and I prefer them so much better because it doesn’t taste like straight up sugar (store krispy treats have so much added sugar). I think if you’re the kind of person that would appreciate a less sweet treat, you’d love swapping store bought with your homemade!

@BecomingaFarmGirl yes! That is exactly why I don't eat store bought cereals. Too much sugar and chemicals, definitely a no-go for me.

Love to try to make the candy bar with rice crispys! ☺️

i just found you by accident and I’m so glad I did, you have helped me so much!! Thank you so much!!

@@BecomingaFarmGirldo you have a video on this?

I am Nigerian too. Honestly this video is a blessing. Fruit and Fibre is now about 5k in my supermarket

​@@tamaraposibithe only issue is getting these ingredients in Nigeria especially the bran may cost more in Nigeria.

I’m not a granola fan. Certainly not premade. But flakes? That’s interesting! Eliminating lab chemicals and minimizing sugar is also a win!

Thank you for saying hello, Lisa! Thank you for joining me in my kitchen. I’m happy to share what I’m learning because it truly makes a difference!

Me too.

Have you done it?

@@joyaustin6581 I have! I failed to realize there wasn’t anything to preserve the rice crispy from getting stale so it wasn’t fresh. After I made the rice crispy treats, my husband and daughter cut them up into pieces and had it a cereal. I plan to try again and this time, make it while it’s still fresh and refrigerate the rice crispy when I’m done. I also fried my rice because I didn’t have enough salt. So that was less of a hassle to me.😊

Marshmallows are full of sugar are they not?

@@kathyerb3134 yes ma’am. At the time, my rice crispy I made were stale because I put it in the pantry forgetting they don’t have preservatives in them. Freshness was all gone. If I had used them sooner, it would have been fine. Is that what you meant with your question?

Please share the link

@katharvey7324, would you please explain the process, I know about wheatberries & to grind them but not much else, plus you mentioned sifting out the bran? What mill do you use also? Thankyou

Maybe if you buy in bulk, the price will kinda even out or make it make sense for you

Maybe in america cause the prices are ok, just seeing from foreign sited it comes up at ~3 euros
