Me, too. As I noted above. A lot of folks must like it - the people at Funk's
Grove have raised several generations well on their grove of maple trees and
their sirup operation -- now enhanced by their status on the National Register
of Historic Places, status as a landmark on Route 66 and their general touristy
promotions. I've taken others there (only about 40 miles north) but always give
the freebies to others on the trip.

As I recall Grape Nuts lay pretty heavy in the stomach. Not something one wants
to start an active day. Even a harvest hand's breakfast didn't seem to weight
me down like a bowl of Grape Nuts cereal.

You might like this recipe as written - I'd substitute strawberry or blueberry
syrup for the maple.

      Title: Multi-Grain Raisin Nut Cereal
 Categories: Grains, Fruits, Nuts
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Pure maple syrup
    1/3 c  Honey
      3 tb Canola oil
  1 1/4 tb Vanilla extract
  4 1/2 c  Quick-cooking or old fashion
           - oats
      1 c  Quick-cooking barley
    3/4 c  Chopped walnuts or pecans

      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
      7 oz Pkg raisins or chopped dried
           - fruit of choice
 
  Preheat oven to 325oF/163oC.
  
  Prepare a large jelly-roll pan with a light coating of
  cooking spray.
  
  In a sauce pan over low heat, combine the maple syrup,
  honey, oil and vanilla. Stir until well combined and
