To say I've been living off these waffles is a bit of an understatement, so I figured it was about time -- after teasing you with the short version of the recipe a while back -- to properly share them here. And, as it's Valentine's Day, consider this my love letter to your breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) table. But to be honest, regardless of the day of the week or month, these waffles make for the perfect meal to share with someone you love. Convenient, eh? Crispy Oat … [Read more...]
Rainbow Pumpkin & Beetroot Oatmeal Bowl
The other day I gave you all sorts of ways to add veggies to your breakfast bowl, now it's time to put some of those ideas into action. I'm a big believer that rainbows always win and breakfast bowls are no different. Bright swirls of pumpkin and beetroot puree pack a veggie punch, while kiwi and blueberries add a colourful tang. You could certainly apply these topping combos to a bowl of yoghurt and muesli, or even flakes if that's your thing, but oatmeal porridge is my go-to more … [Read more...]
A Dozen Ways to Add Veggies to Your Breakfast Bowl
Who knew adding veggies to your breakfast bowl could be such a shocking (SHOCKING!) idea? Apparently the concept is confronting and unusual and unexpected, yet -- as someone who adds veggies to porridge more days than not -- I find the reaction to the idea as shocking and unexpected as the idea itself. It is however all a matter of packaging (isn't everything?). I recently shot some photos and videos for the #mybrekkiebowl campaign, and as part of the press release I was quoted … [Read more...]
3-Ingredient Emergency Cookies
Sometimes you just need a cookie. It's a sentiment which seems to be a common theme around here these days -- although it's not quite as opinionated or parenthesised this time, ahem. These little morsles have made many an appearance on Instagram over the years, generally in a fit of irritation over something or other, occasionally for dinner, and very unfairly with nary a recipe to be seen. Of course this is almost to be expected for something with the word "emergency" in its name. As … [Read more...]
Vegan & Gluten Free Teff Anzac Biscuits
Sometimes baking is the only solution. Spoon, measure, stir, pour, the motions happen almost automatically, ingrained in my mussels it seems. But as my hands move on their own they in turn leave my mind free to spin and swirl. It's a dangerous situation at best. And so it was, as rain spattered the window and clouds darkened the sky in waves, my swirling mind swirled -- then paused briefly, not on our (now distant memory it seems) brunching and sunsetting all over the place, but on the … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Granola
J: can you please write a post about pumpkin granola for me? R: granola, it's good J: yeah, need a bit more than that R: ... J: ... R: I don't really like granola J: I'm not talking to you anymore. The pumpkin obsession continues, this time in the form of granola -- because while I'm perfectly fine with eating pie for breakfast some people may feel granola is more appropriate. I'd call those people silly but to each their own. At this point I should probably try to draw a … [Read more...]
Pear, Macadamia & Coconut Baked Oatmeal
It's no secret that I'm a bit of a porridge fan. I've been known to eat it for dinner as often as I do for breakfast -- because anytime is a good time for porridge if you ask me. RJ however won't touch it with a ten-foot pole, well not in the cook-on-the-stove-eat-with-a-spoon form at least... However, I've just discovered that if I bake it into a cake-like slice, all bets are off. How very sneaky convenient. I stumbled across this fragrant pan of inspiration over on Rebekah's blog, … [Read more...]
