Just thought I'd give you an idea for adding variety to your healthy meals. Millet is a low-allergy, gluten-free nutrition powerhouse. It also adds interesting taste and texture to food. It contains more protein than wheat, corn, and rice. It is a good source of iron, as well as phosphorus and magnesium, two minerals that help the body absorb calcium well. In addition, millet contains many B vitamins and lots of fiber.


Here's a sweet millet recipe for breakfast. I have another one for dinner that I'll post tomorrow.

Thanks for the recipe. I eat millet a couple times a week.

I love to play with different grains. I haven't done too much with millet but love quinoa and barley. Look forward to your review of the recipe.

Millet is a part of the mixture of grains which we use to prepare a gruel/porridge which we call kanji.It is healthy

Looks delicious. I'm not a big eggplant fan either (despite its benefits). Thinking I might replace it with zucchini... Thanks for sharing!

Zucchini would work great as well, Tanya. Enjoy!
