The 5 things that make my mornings

The five things that can really boost my mornings:

1. A warm, cuddly kitty to hug when you wake up;
2. A phone call from my boyfriend, or even better, having him in my bed to cuddle with;
3. The thought of wearing "those cute little pink shoes" or that "elegant black and white dress";
4. A cup of almond-chocolate coffee;
5. A deliciously healthy breakfast.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my quinoa porridge, and it perfectly fits the description of a deliciously healthy breakfast. It has to be the most comforting breakfast I've ever had. It's warm, just gooey enough and sweet, sweet, sweet! I'm warning you though: you might get addicted to this.

In a microwave safe bowl, mix 1/2 a cup of cooked quinoa, 1/3 of a cup of your favorite dairy drink, a teaspoon of cinnamon, a couple of dried fruits and something to sweeten it up. Put in the microwave for 2 minutes and you're done! I recommend using something like vanilla soy or almond milk; it gives it even more flavor and sweetness. And when it comes to fruits, be adventurous! Raisins, cranberries, figs, apricots, dates!

J'aime vraiment le gruau traditionnel, mais faire un "porridge" avec du quinoa plutôt que de l'avoine, c'est carrément meilleur. En plus, je prépare le mien avec du lait de soya ou d'amande aromatisé à la vanille et des fruits secs. C'est sucré, chaud et réconfortant. À essayer!
