SIDE NOTES:

Delicious as is, or can add gravy of choice, a pat of butter, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Nice alternative to mashed potatoes & if you have kids that are picky eaters – a good way to sneak in hidden vegetables. Millet is a very nutritious grain, well worth throwing in rotation at least every now & then if you like it.

 For those with various food restrictions, this recipe falls into the following categories:

If eating dairy free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
