Breakfast Porridge

Hi! I've been feeling slightly under the weather this weekend, that's why I haven't posted anything. I invited my parents for Sunday dinner, we had potatoes and meatballs and then for dessert we had my home made ice cream. Both my parents liked it :)

Oh well, breakfast today was an old favorite, porridge! This morning with oats, barley, spelt, buckwheat, millet & some flax and psyllium seeds as usual. Topped of with some lingonberry jam :) It's kinda hard not to be repetative when it comes to porridge haha ;)

Breakfast: porridge

Oats, rye, blueberries(a few), dried apricots, and sunflower seeds topped of with some dried cranberries. The apricots didn't want to be in the picture, but they're in there somewhere, I promise ;) Having some sunflower seeds in the porridge was wery nice, a bit crunchy but not hard to chew. Have a great day! /E

Breakfast: porridge

The usual breakfast... Porridge! :)

Today it consisted of spelt, oats, barley, buckwheat, millet, flax seeds and psyllium seeds. Topped with apple sauce. To me apple sauce is the real classic topping for porridge, it's what I always had on my porridge when I was little.

Porridge for breakfast

Today I wanted to try out a new ecological blueberry jam I bought yesterday (5 mins before the store closed..)

The porridge, listed in order of appearance haha ;)

• Oats and Barley
• Spelt and Rye
• Buckwheat
• Flax seeds (crushed) and some psyllium

I wasn't too ecstatic about the blueberry jam, but I figure I'm not used to blueberry jam and this one wasn't overly sweet. But I'll get used to it. I try to buy organic/ecological foods because they are often more healthy, and are better for the environment.


Are you doing anything to help/save the environment?

Good morning! Today my plan is to take my bicycle to work.. I think it will take a while so I figured I better eat some healthy and nutrious grains for breakfast! I topped it with the classic apple sauce, and I thought I should add some cinnamon to go nice with the apple taste... But as you can see I put on a bit too much haha. Sometimes you gotta know when it's enough! :)

Now I'm off on my bike... Take care! /E

The most important meal of the day

I love eating breakfast!! Today I made my porridge as usual, and to give myself a little treat I took some homemade cherry jam I got as a gift from dad. He cooked the jam himself using our own cherries that grow in our (my parents) garden. So yummy! It also felt better to eat than the sugary store-bought kind.

For the porridge I used oats, rye, barley, millet, buckwheat, psyllium & flax seeds.

 My dad is an excellent cook, and loves to fish. So he often cooks up fish he caught himself. (He makes the best smoked salmon ever!!) The thing is, I am the only one who always manages to get a small fish bone stuck in my palate or just finding one in my piece of fish.

Well, today when enjoying my breakfast, I found a cherry stone! Haha it was just so typical! I figured that was the cherry I should have helped to take the cherry stone out of.. That's what you get for not being home and helping out with making jam... I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the only cherry that still had the stone. I had to call dad to tell him and he thought it was funny as well :)

Breakfast: mixed grain porridge

I love to make porridge with different grains. I also love that it's so easy to make in the microwave. Today's breakfast:

I mixed oats, rye, millet, spelt, buckwheat, some psyllium and a touch of flax seeds :) So yummy!
To top it of, I cut up a pear and drizzled some cinnamon and a tiny amount of fairtrade brown sugar. I really liked it!

I love the look of the mixed grains, it looks so healthy and most of all delicious!

If you make morning porridge, what are your ingredients? Do you have time to cook it on the stove or do you use the microwave like me?
