On Breakfast for Beginners
Am I the only one here who took Home Ec back when it still existed in the 90s...or is anyone else a little skeeved about leaving oatmeal out overnight, to cool slowly to room temp and get all bacteria-fied? I've made grains ahead of time - like a ton of rice or quinoa on Sunday night - and then stirrred it with some coconut milk and nuts and fruit and stuff in the morning, microwaving it if I'm ambitious. But the overnight oatmeal (or for that matter, coffee)...unless you do a good nuking in the morning I might be worried. (this coming from someone who eats a LOT of cookie dough, though.) Alternatively: get your bowl out @ night, pour in your dry oats, a dash of cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, dried fruit and nuts. Cover w/plastic wrap or a plate and leave on counter (dried goods, it's ok). In morning: fill w/some water, pop in microwave, and eat while checking the weather online. (you can also put all the dry stuff in a glass container and take it to work, if your work microwave isn't death-defying.) Avocado toast = yum, add an egg for fancy times. Also, peanut butter and sliced apple or honey rolled up in a flour tortilla and then foil - portable. You can make smoothies the night before as long as you don't expect perfect slush frostiness. Yogurt + OJ + frozen mango or berries, immersion blender or mini food processor (THE BEST investment), cover cup, put in the fridge. In the morning - drink while applying mascara or finding your bus pass.
