Food: Breakfast-Poached egg. 
_____________________________________________________________________________

Good evening everyone, I just thought I share my breakfast I had today. As you know I usually go for a porridge, but if I'm being honest I have recently got bored of it, I think it's because it came my staple breakfast throughout winter having it 4 days a week. Its now time to venture out.
So instead I had poached egg on brown toast with a side of fruit. 
It was very delicious and kept me full until lunch time, I usually have 2 poached eggs but I ran over of eggs for that this morning (sigh!)
I think having fruit of strawberries (love how they are back in season), raspberries and grapes was a perfect little touch to the dish. 
I have found if I don't have some sort of fruit in the morning I feel like my breakfast is not fresh and new.

Hope you had a lovely day

Life: Spring Cleaning and Sunny Weekend. 
___________________________________________________

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been so busy doing revision that I haven't had anything interesting to write. 
But the other day I did a bit of a Spring clean of my room in my revision breaks (which is the most productive day ever!)
I have been wanting to spring clean my room for a while because I felt like I had so much stuff that I didn't really need anymore or receipts  pieces of paper were just shoved in draws, and I'm a really tidy person so eventually I just thought I need to tidy up and organise this whole mess! 

Then, this weekend has been super sunny for England, and it has got me in the perfect mood for Summer and Springtime, which is my favourite time of year. Therefore, I seemed to an a little more on a packed weekend (usually its just work!) But below are some pictures of what I got up too, my first bike ride of the year along the river and lakes was so pretty, and very much clears your mind. 
I also went out for breakfast in Hertford, Giambrone's Italian Deli and Coffee Bar, which I might do a review on that later! But they're breakfasts was so good, although I just had scrambled egg on ciabatta it was very filling and was very delicious.

Food: Porridge


I absolutely love breakfast, it is my favourite meal of the day; no idea why!! 
My favourite thing to have for breakfast especially in the colder months is porridge topped with fruit. 
It not only warms me up by also keeps me full for most of the day, and when travelling around London all day everyday, I don't like lugging around loads of food.
I have found the best results for a creamy porridge is soaking the oats and water overnight and then in the morning adding the milk.






Ingredients:
1)Half a cup of porridge oats
2)Half a cup of water
3) Half a cup of milk (this time I used almond milk- New Obsession!!) 
4)Then top with the fruit of your choice I usually like Banana, blueberries, raspberries, grapes. 

Method: 1) Measure out half a cup of oats and half a cup of water and soak in a saucepan, covered up overnight- I usually put a plate over the top. 
2) In the morning, measure out half a cup of milk (of your choice) and pour into the saucepan with the oats and water. 
3) Put the stove on a low heat and gently stir. 
4) Cut up your fruit in preparation while your porridge continues to heat up (stop occasionally to stir the porridge) 
5)Once the porridge starts to come together to form a thicker mixture, and there is heat coming off it, then take it off the heat. 

Serve in a bowl with your fruit on top and then enjoy! 




Hope you have a lovely day
