Classic Breakfast Food
Of course I’m talking about oatmeal 
Mhhh, this one was so good. The pear was perfectly ripe and the whole combination was highly satisfying!
Ingredients
1/4 cup oats
2/4 cups + 2-3 Tbsp. soy milk
1 Tbsp. sugar (or sweetener of choice)
1-2 Tbsp. flax seeds
dash cinnamon
1 pear, chopped
I let half the pear cook with the oats and added the other half when it was done. and sprinkled it with almond slices.
This one’s a little more fancy. Or let’s say it just included more ingredients than the Pear Oatmeal.
Ingredients
1/4 cup oats
2/4 cups soy milk
1/2 mashed ripe banana
1 Tbsp. sugar (or sweetener of choice, I’m out of agave atm)
dash cinnamon
1 apple, chopped
walnuts
toasted almonds
Luckily I still had some Blueberry Sauce from VwaV that went perfectly well with this breakfast!
I’m off to enjoy the beautiful weather now! The sun is shining and I can’t wait to cruise on my bike again!
The Plan, Raspberry Oatmeal, Chocolate Temptation Challenge and finally… Mozzarella!
The plan:
Three days each week I will consume vegetables only. Every dish I eat will have to consist of vegetables. As in soups, stir-fries, roasted veggies, mashed veggies… anything really. As long as it’s vegetables only! No bread, pasta, rice, whatever.
That way I hope to try out more veggies I have never had yet. And to be honest, I love all-veggie meals!
I will starting next week, because I plan on making pizza, lasagna and black bean burgers this weekend. After that it’s veggies-only time!
Anyone joining? =)
And the reason why I’m so eager to make pizza and lasagna this weekend is that last night I finally found vegan cheese!!!
You guys can’t imagine how excited I was! Now I can have pizza and Lasagna with ‘cheese’!
Besides having this veggie idea and drooling over my Mozzarella find I craved oatmeal last night.
Remember: never judge an oatmeal by its color!
It was delicious, but I have to admit that it didn’t look very appealing.
I used the same recipe as in this one, used 2/3 cups raspberries, maple syrup instead of brown sugar & agave syrup, didn’t put in any nutmeg and topped it with cashews.
The fair trade chocolate I bought last night for Cookie Mouses Chocolate Temptation Challenge! I decided to buy an Espresso chocolate. Can’t wait for Easter Sunday now
Still in my bag (for now)!
Apple Cinnamon Almond Oatmeal
Oh my, this tasted like Christmas morning!
Apple Cinnamon Almond Oatmeal
Ingredients
1/2 cup oats
1 cup soy milk
1 heaped tsp. brown sugar
1-2 Tbsp. agave syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 apple, chopped
1-2 tsp. sliced almonds
1. put all the ingredients in a saucepan (cut 3/4 of the apple in small chunks, keep 1/4 of the apple & almonds for decorating)
2. bring to a boil, turn the heat to low and under stirring let simmer for 5-10 minutes
3. sprinkle with sliced almonds and apple slices
I will try Veganomicons Black Bean Quinoa Mango salad later, I can’t wait!!!
Oatmeal-Carob Pudding for Dinner
I am so full! This is the first time I had oatmeal pudding and it is so filling, I couldn’t even finish the whole bowl. I tried, because it’s yumm. But I just couldn’t swallow any more, I look like 4 months pregnant already =p
I made Ruby Red Vegans Oatmeal-Carob Pudding. I got to use the carob powder I bought a few weeks ago for the first time, yay! Although when I opened the box I was like „Puh…“, because it smelled exactly like the stuff my sister used to feed her bunny back when we were kids. But it tasted nothing like it smelled, I really like it.
I topped it with 1/2 mashed banana (+ 1 tsp. agave syrup) and sliced the other half along with a strawberry.
Thumbs up, Ruby & Katie!
What I learned? That oatmeal probably really is the perfect breakfast, because it’s filling, it’s healthy and one can add nuts, seeds or fruit to make it even healthier.
