Breakfast!

Breakfast is a meal which I usually forget about. There are two reasons for this, a) I have to be in class early and I just don't have the time or b) If I have nowhere to be I'm never usually awake before lunch.
But I do live life by my stomache and when someone mentioned I was missing a great meal I decided to set my alarm clock and for once enjoy my breakfast.

Porridge is what I decided on first. I always thought it was a plain sort of breakfast, but since it never seems to be warm in my apartment in the mornings, a warm breakfast was slightly tempting.

Ingredients (+ one suggested topping) and pricing:

Porridge. Tesco Scottish Porridge Oats, 500g. €0.99.
Milk. Tesco low fat milk, 1 litre. €1.00.
Strawberries. Market value strawberries. €2.99.
Honey. Tesco value clear honey, 340g. €1.39.

Method:

Place the oats, milk, 300ml water and a pinch of salt salt into a pan. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Cook the porridge slowly for a couple of minutes, then pour into warm bowls (which will prevent it setting instantly).
Pour extra milk around the edge, then add the topping of your choice and serve immediately.

Topping suggestions:
1. Blueberries with sugar.
2. Nuts and seeds with golden syrup.
3. Bananas and maple syrup.
4. Strawberries and honey.

This breakfast costs €6.37 which is alot but it includes strawberries and honey. Basic porride and milk costs €1.95 and should last you a few mornings at least!
