Change Up Your Breakfast Routine with Porridge

How about you take a break from oatmeal for awhile? The combination of having a ton of wild rice left over from Thanksgiving and being obsessed with my Crock Pot led me to the creation of this hearty breakfast porridge. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and Im always looking for new creative ideas so I dont get stuck in a rut. Plus, I just like saying the word porridge. Dont you? I recommend making this on a Sunday afternoon for quick no-fuss breakfasts all week long. All you do in the morning is simply scoop out your desired amount of porridge, give it a zap in the microwave, add milk, cinnamon, maple syrup and more nuts and youre good to go for hours!
