A Toast to Friday

Fancied a mixture of savoury and sweet for my breakfast today and woke up starving so had these assortment of Rye Toast!

Half is smothered in my homemade vanilla cashew butter with chopped fig

The other half is smothered in my homemade hummus with chopped avocado and sun-dried chilli tomatoes!

I had this beauty alongside a Cinnamon tea and it definitely gave me the energy I needed to tackle the day!

Dill (Chopped)

Couple of Lemons

Crushed garlic

Mushrooms

Method:

Simply, mash the avocado and dill together and squeeze half a lemon into it

Toast the rye bread

Steam the mushrooms with garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice

Bake the Halloumi for 15 minutes in the oven on high heat until soft and creamy

Chop the figs

Serve all together and prepare to love every bite!

Warm Honey Cinnamon Oats

Simple breakfast to get you started on a busy day. Oats are a healthy energy boost to have first thing in the morning. All you need is 1 cup of jumbo oats (or rolled) 3/4 cup of a milk of your choice (I use unsweetened almond milk).

Cook on the hob for 10 minutes on medium heat until light and fluffy, pour into a bowl and drizzle in raw honey and cinnamon

I like to mix it all together to spread the sweetness of the honey πŸ™‚

Definitely made me feel cosy this morning! Enjoy!

Quinoa Granola

Homemade Fig Jam

I always wanted to make my own jam and I love figs so thought I’d start with homemade fig jam! Most jam recipes will contain lots of refined sugars so aren’t actually good for you, so I wanted to make mine without any refined sugar and as healthy as possible

First I bought about 5 Figs

I cut the Figs up into quarters

Mashed the figs up

Poured into a pan then added 1 tablespoon of pure honey

Then simmered with the lid on for about 20 minutes on a low-medium heat
