I’m loving the beautiful weather. It’s weird to think last week was –4 and today will reach over 80 degrees. Warm weather does not mean I give up my beloved breakfast grain bowls; I just eat them cold! (Actually, I eat cold oatmeal in winter too. I’m strange like that.)
Today’s brekkie was a twist on my Blueberry Muffin in a Bowl.
And I ate it outside, in the sunshine!!
(Yes, I had other foods to go with my bulgur. And no, the fabric flower was not one of them.)
Magic Breakfast Pudding
(serves 1)
- 1/3 cup dry bulgur (40g) (I use light, as opposed to dark) (You can also make this pudding with oats.)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water (240-260g) (Or more, if using oats)
- 2 tbsp (or more, if desired) nondairy creamer (I use Silk)
- toppings of choice (today I went with cacao nibs)
- optional sweetener (When I make this for others, I use 1 pack stevia or 1T sugar)
- 3 drops coconut extract… a.k.a. magic drops (with oats, I use 6 drops)
Cook your bulgur, with the salt, in the water. (I like to cook mine the day before, so breakfast comes together much more quickly.)
Here’s a good tutorial: How to Cook Bulgur.
Right before eating, add remaining ingredients and stir. I like to pulse mine in the magic bullet a few times. You could also use a blender or hand blender… or omit the blending entirely!)
Question of the Day:
What’d you have for breakfast today?
Yummy thought of the day: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
mmmm coconut drops?! omg i want it to be sunny/warmer here. we got like 5 inches of snow today! HELP!
Katie, question for you!! Do use a special camera setting or photo editing software to get your photos to look the way they do? They get a bit foggy or whimsical looking on the edges…love it!
Aw, thanks Alyssa! I seriously know squat about cameras… I wish I knew how to work manual settings and stuff like that. F stop, aperture, macro lenses… someday I will learn about all that! Right now, I do try and blur the background with adobe photoshop if I get a second. And usually I up the brightness/contrast as well, since the walls, furniture, AND counters of my house are all YELLOW! With a capital Y! hehe
like the sounds of this breakfast. yum!
What a great post from yesterday Katie, you are HUGE to share. 🙂
I too have a looooow heart rate and I did the whole EKG and a few other tests to be smart awhile back and of course all is well, just an athlete, that is all! 🙂
I love bulgur but never thought to make it for breakfast!
I had savory oat bran for breakfast today:)
It’s all about the oats! Today: steel-cut oats with almond milk, “melted” banana, almonds, maple syrup (just a little), and flaxseed.
Yum, this is a great idea!
I had a HUUUGE smoothie in a bowl with berry amazing grass powder, banana, spinach, frozen cherries, frozen blueberries, and tons of different cereals and granolas on top! It was delicious but it left me freezing! I still have goosebumps! 😉
Oh I miss bulgur~it’s so good and chewy hehe. You kind of remind me of like–a classy character in oldie movies! (that’s supposed to be a good thing btw) 😛
hahahahaha thanks! Do I get to marry a cute old handsome actor? Like Cary Grant? 😉
I had overnight oats layered with a green smoothie. i’m totally addicted to the warm and cold combination!
GF oatmeal with frozen blueberries and blackberries (my grandma grows them and freezes them! I’m at her house right now :)) and pecans. Also had a piece of tortilla with coconut butter as an afterthought to get me thought the three and a half hours of grocery shopping.
Gorgeous photos, girlie! Stunning, actually.
Aww thank you! I’m really getting into it!
P.S. YOUR photos are stellar, as I tell you often. You should submit them to foodgawker.com :).
