Millet is said to be a warming grain, so this breakfast is perfect for chilly mornings or days when tired from treatment. Millet was the staple grain before rice took over, and it’s due for...

1 cup milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons honey, or to taste
2 cups cooked millet (see Chef Tips)
½ cup pineapple chunks, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tablespoons coconut flakes, toasted
½ cup pecans, chopped
