I really enjoyed this one. I loved waking up and having breakfast ready for the kids. That in itself was wonderful. I liked the flavor too, though. One of the kids liked it, and the other didn't, so I guess I'll just be making it for myself in the future. I may try some other flavors to see if I can persuade him. We'll see. I didn't have apples or raisins, so I just used Craisins. I don't like raisins anyway, so that was no big loss for me. I did stir some milk into each bowl when I served it, since it became pretty thick. I have a larger crockpot, so I only cooked mine for about 6 hours. I think I'll leave the nutmeg out next time, since it just didn't seem to "fit" with the flavors. Of course, I'm not a big nutmeg fan anyway, so others may think it's fine. Either way, this was a yummy, easy breakfast for a cold morning. Can't beat that!
