    <![CDATA[<p>i find buckwheat tasty.  you can use buckwheat flour in pancakes, by adding it to granola bars, you can even sprout it and eat the greens in your salad.</p>


	<p>it&#8217;s a gluten-free grain that has been associated with reducing cholesterol, improving circulation, and might even be able to treat type II diabetes.</p>


	<p>this is a simple way to cook it up as a hardy breakfast, especially great on those cold foggy mornings.</p>


	<p>this recipe was blogged at http://sweetbeetandgreenbean.net along with lots of other vegan treats.  check it out for the full post and more pictures!</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>in a large frying pan or skillet toast the buckwheat dry over high heat.  after about 5 minutes over heat, with continuously stirring, they should start to turn toasty brown.  make sure you get them before they start to burn.  (note: if you are using toasted buckwheat you can skip this step.)</li>
		<li>add the salt to the water and bring to a boil.</li>
		<li>add the toasted buckwheat and boil on high, while stirring occasionally.  cook until all the water has boiled off, which takes about 10 minutes.</li>
		<li>while still over heat add the earth balance and stir completely in.  serve warm.</li>
