Steps:

• You need a blender(or food processor, or better yet, a coffee grinder) to make this recipe.
• Get out your coffee grinder.
• Measure the dry oatmeal into it.
• Whirl the oatmeal until it is powdery, like flour.
• Dump the oatmeal into a mixing bowl.
• Measure the barley into the blender.
• Process it until powdery.
• Dump it into the bowl with the oatmeal.
• Measure the brown rice into the blender.
• Process it until powdery.
• The rice will take longer processing than the oatmeal or barley.
• It will be a tiny bit coarser after blending too, that is alright.
• When it is as powdery as you can get it, dump it into the bowl with the other grains.
• Add the whole wheat flour and the cornmeal, along with the sesame seeds, is using.

• This is a very healthy and hearty way to start the morning.
• I like this cereal much better than most other mixed grain cereals I have tried.
• The rice gives the cooked cereal a nice chewy texture which contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the whole wheat flour and cornmeal.
• If you don't have quick barley, you can replace it with more oatmeal, or even wheat germ, or wheat bran.
• I've also thought that Rye Flour might make a nice addition, although I have never tried it.
• This cereal is an excellent source of B vitamins and fiber.
