Porridge for breakfast a staple .

For years I’ve looked at all the branded cereals in all the different supermarket chains and wondered why on earth does it cost so so much

!! I never ever have brought it

As I started looking into it

Look it’s so highly processed and is packed with sugars .

In fact you are supposed to take only a few grams a-day to keep the carbs and sugars to a reasonable amount .

If you have ever read the box it will tell you how may grams per person per day .

However with today huge cereal bowls most people are eating at least 2 to 3 servings in a single bowl .

So I am thankful I didn’t take up the habit of boxed cereals

I but organic oats even being organic they are still less than cereals

1kg of oats lasts a long time and makes many porridge bowls

We are a waste not house hold

On the odd occasion I have cooked to larger portion of porridge

I have let it cool down and kept the bowl in the fridge the night for the following morning’s breakfast.

It thickens up more

Cold porridge left overs would not be to nice

But heat a frying pan with a little coconut oil or olive oil take desert spoonful s of thick porridge mix and drop them into the frying pan .Then fry on both sides until brown just a few minutes to heat thought the porridge and brown the outsides .Then serve these little porridge patties with your favourite jam or honey .

A great way to save money and not to throw out your foods ever .
