This recipe comes from Helen Nearing’s book, Living the Good Life. At the height (or the depth) of the Great Depression, they started homesteading in Vermont, trying to live simply and self-sufficiently. Some of the things they ate were idiosyncratic, to say the least. This Horse Chow makes a quick and nutritious breakfast, even though I admit eating uncooked rolled oats feels peculiar at first.
