I was eating the my breakfast this morning and noticed a bit more of an interesting crunch.
It was pleasant and then I looked at what I was eating and wondered what Art was putting into our breakfast oatmeal. Unh hunh... I recognize the bananas and cranberries, but what's the other stuff?
Art's sister has sent us different kinds of grains and seeds that she thought was healthy. Art researched it and added it to our diet. I asked him this morning to show me what he's been adding to his concoction. Good gracious!
And if this wasn't enough, we got a text from our daughter, Tiffany saying she was sending Art something called teff or tef. I found the following from Wikipedia:

Eragrostis tef has an attractive nutrition profile, being high in dietary fiber and iron and providing protein and calcium. It is similar to millet and quinoa in cooking, but the seed is much smaller and cooks faster, thus using less fuel.Someday my cereal bowl is not going to be big enough!
Interesting. I would think it would get pretty filling fast.
ReplyDeleteIt must be very filling!
ReplyDeleteBacon, eggs and toast would be a lot faster to prepare:-)
ReplyDeleteWell ... that's the dietary equivalent of the whole nine yards.
ReplyDeleteWith addition of yogurt, looks just like my breakfast! Mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteYogurt here. I agree with Anvil.

ReplyDeleteThis looks very healthy, indeed. And very interesting. Once I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant, Empress Taytu, where our (extremely spicy) dinner was served on a bed of injera,the amazing spongy fermented bread made from teff. I loved it, but making it is quite a process, taking a few days, so I never made it myself. Would you cook it in order to add it to your oatmeal?
Rich breakfast!
ReplyDeletesounds healthy, I just had yogurt, berries and walnuts...lol!
ReplyDeleteIs there even oatmeal in there? That is the kitchen sink but a really healthy one. He is looking out for you.
ReplyDeleteAha, Art uses one of my favorite additions--flaxseed. However, my very favorite--blueberries--is missing.
ReplyDeleteI think it all sounds great! Good for Art for making your breakfast so interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like all good stuff to me.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Art is have good, healthy fun with breakfast!
ReplyDeleteI like your sense of humor in the last sentence!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Art has fun making healthy concoctions for you!
ReplyDeleteI just eat plain oatmeal but that does look healthy!
ReplyDeleteJust remember: Craisins and prunes are FULL of sugar, Dear. And I'd really suggest buying some plain, organic, steel cut oats from the bulk bin at Down to Earth. Cheap and good! Eating mines now <3. You are off to a good start to your day - so glad to see it! I also like chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, shredded coconut.....
ReplyDeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteLately, I've just been have a toasted sandwich for breakfast! It gets me through to later, and a salad for lunch is good. On Sundays, hubby goes into town and gets me a 'kitchen sink'. It's an omelette with bacon, tomatoe chunks, peppers, etc! It's very good.
ReplyDeleteI have been eating my oatmeal from McDonalds while traveling. It seems a healthier option with all their fruits added. I recognize many of those products in my own supplies back home. Tef is a new one to me, also hemp hearts.
