Life continues to move along. We just got back from a trip to Florida. I have never been there before. We had a great time and enjoyed lots of water and sunshine. My favorite part was being with my husband.
I continue to love having hot cereal for breakfast. It is fun to experiment and try new ones. This is a wonderful one loaded with nutrition. Look here to see some of the benefits to added Teff to your diet. This made a great breakfast. I get a wonderful satisfied feeling when I have a nice hot breakfast. It is a great way to start your day. I think I am going to make some for a snack. It is making me want some looking at the pictures.
Here is something fun to watch to brighten up your weekend. Here cares about each one of us.

I first came across teff because it is one of very few grains listed in Jonny Bowden’s “150 Healthiest Foods on Earth”. This was the first teff recipe I tried. I was sceptical because it seemed like a lot of spice but we were pleasantly surprised. The raisins nicely balance with enough sweetness that we didn’t need the honey. I made it again this morning and we are definitely keeping this yummy, healthy breakfast on our list! I’ve now become a teff evangelist! 😆 I couldn’t find teff at my local health food shops, but it was in the health section at Woolworths. Thanks for sharing the recipe, which I’ve passed on to other GF eaters.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Teff is a fun grain to add into your diet.
DeleteIs the oil necessary?
ReplyDeleteNo, You could leave it out. It adds a smoother consistency with the oil I think,
