Good morning! For some of you, breakfast is a granola bar as you're running out the door. For others, it's stopping by Starbucks to pick up a $4 pumpkin spice latte (one of my favorites). My mom instilled in me at a very young age that breakfast is a MUST.
One of my recent favorites is Farina or hot cereal. I discovered this recipe in last month's Real Simple, and I think I've eaten it for the last 30 mornings. Farina is SUPER cheap. I haven't even used a whole bag in the last month, and it was like $3 at Whole Foods. The almonds are an investment worth making, as they add the much needed crunch to the bowl. Enjoy!
Farina With Apricots and Almonds
(1 serving)
3/4 Cup of milk (I use vanilla soy milk. It has a longer expiration date than regular milk.)
2 and a 1/2 tbs. Farina
1 tbs. brown sugar
a few dried apricots
a few roasted almonds
Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add farina and whisk constantly for a minute or 2.
Spoon into a bowl and top with brown sugar, apricots, and almonds.
It will warm your belly on these chilly Fall mornings!
And Protein!! Those almonds add much needed protein too:)
