Oatmeal with frozen mixed fruit, ground flax, chia seeds, almond milk and maple syrup

That is almost exactly my oatmeal recipe, except I also add walnuts, a dash of vanilla, and a cinnamon stick. Then I sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.

However, I ran out of oats and made the same recipe with quinoa this week. I've never made quinoa for breakfast before. It's a nice addition to my breakfast repertoire!

Didn't eat breakfast yet but had a snack of a couple of sardines on crackers! So good! Oh and a ginger tea.

I continued with my breakfast experimentation this week.

Instead of using the spinach I have to eat alongside eggs and potatoes, I salvaged some arugula that was wilting and sauteed it with some green onions instead. It was a weird texture because of the wilting, but was acceptable enough to eat and I didn't throw it away. It was no longer good for salad.

The spinach is still doing OK and I will add it to my future eggs and potatoes breakfast.

Sadly out of bacon and potatoes. So it just a breaky burrito with refried beans, egg, cheese and hot sauce. Couple mugs of coffee too.

We had an early morning hike followed by brunch.  Nom nom.

Vegemite on sourdough.

Any other bread is giving me grief lately, so I'm sticking with the sourdough, and I find somewhere I can get it for <$3 a loaf (compared with $5.50) so I'm happy.

Where do you get your sourdough? I find it pretty hit and miss except for a couple of $$ local brands. (Not very sour bread tends to be too high GI for me to manage)

Aldi.

White, wholemeal and wholegrain bread have been causing me a lot of pain and bloating, so I switched to sourdough exclusively. I was eating Woolies sourdough for a while ($5.50 for unsliced, and hard to get as it sold out almost immediately).

Our only local bakery is your typical French hot bread shop - no sourdough in sight.

I always check the ingredients for sourdough - anything that contains yoghurt or another additive means it's not true sourdough and is likely to upset my system.

Rolled Oats soaked over night with a splash of chia seeds, and milk added in the morning. Heated for 20seconds in the microwave.

Same thing every day usually, aiming for it every single day this year! I might occasionally omit the Chia or milk or heating. But always the oats.

Today I took them in a container to work and added the milk and did the heating there. I walk to work, its a minor piece of fasting-excercise to help with my endurance. Also, it means I use work milk and microwave and not mine, BadASS!!!

Limited fridge options until I go shopping today, so:
-1 espresso w/milk (trying to cut from 2 to 1, reducing cost on the coffee beans & milk)
-2 bites of egg & banana from youngest son's plate
-a pear

Oatmeal, chia, flax, cashew milk frozen berries

Don't think I didn't notice you switched out the almond milk for cashew milk...

I may try this with hemp milk I bulk purchased when it was on sale. Hemp milk seems to be a bit thinner than the almond milk I buy. However, when I make oatmeal with almond milk, I do tend to add some water to it to get it to the right consistency.

A variation on Bircher muesli, made the night before by DH. 1/2 grated apple, 20g rolled oats, 1 homegrown nectarine (chopped), 1/2 banana mixed together with a bit of skim milk and some natural yoghurt. Yum! He might have also added a bit of golden syrup, I forget now.

Another variation this morning because we are drowning in homegrown nectarines: 20g rolled oats, 2 homegrown nectarines chopped, splash of skim milk (but no yoghurt because we'd run out). DH also has just informed me he adds a few drops of vanilla essence.

Both sound delish. I would love tobe drowning in nectarines. My fave when in season.
