it's JUNE!
however, i was rather chilly this morning waking up. we have our windows open and the breeze that was coming through this morning was rather cool....& absolutely delightful! i wanted to stay nestled under the covers but it's monday, i had to get up.
right away i knew that i would not be starting this day off with cold green juice. brrrrrrrr! i definitely wanted something warm, hearty, comforting & quick...so off to the kitchen i went in search of "edible coziness"!
i was on a mission & decided that utilizing last nights brown rice leftovers would be a great start. *the rice was already cooked *it's a great source of so many nutrients *i could add this & that *& it could easily be heated up...ultimately warming me up too!
what ended up happening was this super yummy ricePORRIDGE, which i completely enjoyed & will make again for sure, maybe even tomorrow! ...although, now that i think of it, i'm pretty sure we're out of rice:(
ingredients.
3/4 cup prepared brown rice
1/2 cup vanilla almond milk
1/4tsp raw cacao powder
1tbsp unsweetened coconut
1tsp real maple syrup
"some" cinnamon (i like a lot)
"some"walnuts
a little vanilla if you choose.
1/2-1 banana
directions.
combine all of the above ingredients (except banana) in a small pot & warm up on the stove top. place in a bowl. garnish with a little extra coconut, walnuts & the banana too!
notes.
*ingredient amounts listed above were enough for me...so unfortunately there is currently not a robFACTOR available at this time. i apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause with potential husband taste testers ;)
*the amounts are also approximate. i just threw this one together & then had to go back and think about how much of each ingredient i might of added, once i realized how much i liked it.
*always add more or less of whatever to make the recipe work for you, your preferences and what you have in your kitchen. the recipes i post can be followed exactly, or used as inspiration for your own spin offs.
enjoy! e.
this was our "sunny sunday" snack! and there really isn't a whole lot to say about it other than we rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally enjoyed it & i thought that you might too!
