"On a cold winter day, there is nothing better than a bowl of hot cereal to keep you warm. I love to make this cereal because its quick, tastes great, and will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days."

2. Add the kasha, salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and chopped dried apples.
3. Bring to a boil, and hold their for ten minutes. Stir constantly to keep kasha from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The cereal will have the consistency of oatmeal when it's done.

5. If you don't like apples, then replace the dried apples with raisins or dates, and the apple concentrate with 1/2 cup milk.
6. If the cereal is to sweet, then cut the brown sugar measurement in half.

I absolutely love this recipe. Nice change for a breakfast dish. I would definetely recommend this recipe. I love the nutty smell while cooking. No one else in my family likes the smell or taste but I don't care!!!! Definetely a keeper for me. I prepared it at night and then warm up about one cup of the cereal in the morning, put in the microwave and it is good to go.
