This looks really yummy! Millet is so cheap compared to other grains (aside from rice, corn, and wheat) but I am not a huge fan. But this looks like a good way of serving millet. I find it too dry but this looks like it would solve that problem

Hi Jennifer, yes millet can be dry especially when overcooked, I join you too in the fact that it's cheaper than grains and it has healthy nutrients too. At first, when I started with millet I doubted that my kids would love it, and my girl didn't like my first few recipes until I learned how to cook it; don't let the millet dry out during cooking, and make sure you measure 1 cup to 2 cups of water...
Now millet has become our go-to breakfast, and guess who asks for it every other day? my daughter.
Try it out and am sure you'll love it too.
