Breakfast

Darling Kiddies,

Breakfast just isn't the same unless you have a hot meal.  Especially when it's about 29-30ºF outside.  The ritual of getting up before having to go to class or work, and sitting down to a nice breakfast is something I'm especially fond of.

Recently I've been on a kick of having oatmeal for breakfast (getting up for classes after staying up late can take its toll after awhile).  It's fast.  They're microwaveable.  Definitely NOT a thing I am proud of.  However, in order to enjoy my breakfast at a semi-reasonable pace (and also because I am probably running late to class) I usually bring it with me.  Again, not something I like doing.  However, I happened upon a combination of ingredients (probably already thought of by someone else) that I didn't think to try before in my oatmeal.  I say happened, because I opened my relatively empty fridge (shame on me) and took out random things I could throw in my breakfast that would probably taste ok, and would keep me full for a while.

What I ended up with was a somewhat quirky oatmeal dish that I liked and am probably going to make for myself again tomorrow.

1 - 1/2 cup of microwaveable store brand oatmeal oats.  (SHAME)
2 - 1/4 cup of apple sauce
3 - 1/4 cup of plain greek yogurt.

I also added some water (I eyeballed it) so that it wouldn't be too congealed when it finished... 'cooking'.  I tend to like my oatmeal on the soupy side.  Not runny though, I very much despise that. I am also not particularly a fan of plain yogurt because of it's slightly sour taste (I bought it to throw into other dishes I was planning on making) but here I didn't mind.  It was a sweet-sour oatmeal breakfast and, most importantly, it was hot.  Even though I was eating it in the classroom, I found the flavors of the yogurt and applesauce surprisingly akin to comfort food.

Before I leave, I shall tell all of my ideal breakfasts:

Breakfast 1:
Eggs benedict (without ham) with vodka hollandaise sauce.  Loaded with broccoli and spinach and perhaps if I'm feeling particularly unhealthy, some home fries lightly crispy.  Hot chocolate to drink.

Breakfast 2 (on-the-go):
Pain au chocolat from a bakery of course, with hot chocolate.  A very bad breakfast in terms of sustenance, but I am a chocolate freak.

Breakfast 3:
Marrons glacée crêpes.  Or Nuetella ones.  Basically any dessert-type crêpe (fruit ones count), with hot chocolate to drink.  Did I mention that I was a chocolate freak?

Breakfast 4:
French toast, using thick slices of bread.  Bananas flambé on top and a raspberry-lime sauce to boot.
Oh, and hot chocolate to drink.

Breakfast 5:
Bagels (onion or poppyseed will do) and cream cheese.  With... CRANBERRY JUICE.  Haha, just kidding.

Until next time kiddies.
