"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo" -Joel

Mochi is made from sweet brown rice that has been cooked, pounded into a paste, and then compressed into dense bars. When broken into squares and baked, it puffs up like a cream puff and gets gooey inside. Mochi comes plain or in several flavors; cinnamon-raisin mochi is the breakfast favorite at our home. Look for mochi in the refrigerated or freezer section of your natural foods store. Sweet brown rice is an excellent food for nursing moms. Children love this warm chewy breakfast treat.
1 block mochi Cherry jam (or your favorite flavor)
Preheat oven to 400-450 degrees F. Score and break mochi into 2-by-2-inch squares. Place squares on a lightly-oiled cookie sheet and put in oven. Bake until mochi puffs up (10-12 minutes). Remove from oven. Open each square and slip a teaspoon or two of jam inside. Serve immediately. Enjoy thoroughly like Jane does.
Preparation time: 15 minutes Makes 6 mochi squares

Can I get that Mochi stuff at the asian market too?
My favorite breakfast, if I have time, is Snoqualmie Falls oatmeal(made so it gets that mound of bubbles while it's cooking-what we call the cloak of goodness) with soymilk, almond butter, brown sugar, flax oil or flax seed and bananas added after the cooking part. Yum, maybe as good as your mochi!

My favorite breakfast is oatmeal with a couple tablespoons of pumpkin, a dash of cinnamon, and a bit of organic brown sugar. If I'm feeling anemic, I'll put a bit of blackstrap molasses in it.
