Comfy Cuisine- Home Recipes from Family & Friends: Swiss Cranberry Muesli

Muesli is a popular breakfast meal based on uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts.  Muesli was introduced around 1900 by the Swiss physician Maximilian Bircher-Benner for patients in his hospital, where a diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables was an essential part of therapy.  This doctor was in charge of the Zurich Sanitarium.  So if you are feeling off-the-wall, eat some Muesli!  There are many versions of Muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one is similar to the original Swiss version – a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt.  Make it the night before and you’ll have breakfast ready when you are. This is not a hot breakfast for a cool morning.  If you prefer, have it for an afternoon wake-you-up snack.
