It's been a while since I posted for WIAW. Life seems to be somewhat back in a regular routine now so with that comes a WIAW post.
Wednesdays for me mean a packed lunch to take into work.
Today's Bento box style lunch:
Green salad with bean salad and rice salad. Not more leftover from Christmas - just made again since then!!!
I have the wonderful blessing of my husband making our Wedensday evening meal.
Today was a taco plate with brown rice, red quinoa, black bean mix, veggie mix, carrot and lettuce:
I had pre-made my breakfast so that my morning routine was somewhat quicker.
And in the Summertime I definitely prefer oats to be cold instead of warm.
TRIPLE GRAIN BREAKFAST
3 Tablespoons quinoa flakes
3 Tablespoons Rye flakes
1/4 cup oats
1/2 mango
1 passionfruit
1/2 cup water
Put all ingredients into a bowl. Cover and keep in the fridge overnight.
Question of the day:
Have you experimented with soaked oats?
I love the sound of your breakfast, and your husband's cooking efforts are definitely admirable :-) I've never really been into overnight oats for breakfast, but do love making something similar up in the morning to take for a mid-afternoon work snack. Passionfruit is a great summery inclusion in your mix!
ReplyDeleteI am loving overnight oats in summer time when I don't feel like warmed up ones. That said, I usually opt for a smoothie more often than not for summer breakfasts though!
DeleteYes I guess they would make a great arvo snack - I've never done that before but now I am definitely tempted to!!! :-)
What a great day of eats! Love your Taco plate!
ReplyDeleteEven though it's Winter here, Lil' L is still have cold overnight oats on most week days as he much prefers them to porridge. I, on the other hand, will happily eat a porridge every day, even it's scorching hot ;)
Haha its amazing how something can be so different just prepared different ways! :-) We all have our favourites don't we!!!
DeleteI love those Bento boxes; I just don't have a need for one. If I ever do though, I'm buying one for sure. I've never intentionally had cold oats before! Usually, I make oatmeal, then forget about it until it's cold, setting in the pot. Still eat it though, and it's good. :-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha that made me laugh - so you unintentionally have soaked oats anyway ;-)
DeleteThis box was actually a lunchbox that I already had that these containers just fitted in so I quite enjoy using my 'pretending' bento box!
I didn't think I would want porridge for breakfast in summer, but I have to admit, I am really enjoying it. Once cooked I add a little more milk to cool it a little but not by much.
ReplyDeleteNo, never tried the soaked oats, what does it taste like?
I think the major difference between soaked oats and porridge is just that the oats don't really break down as much or lose as much of their shape and texture.
DeleteI was reserved at first but fell in love with them the first time I tried them. Also great for mornings when I need to leave early :-)
