Warming Breakfast for Winter Time

 You wake up in the morning and it is cold in the house. You just wish to stay in your warm bed and never get up. Trust me, I know this feeling. However there are always loads of things that needs to be done throughout the day, and let's be honest here, we need to eat in the morning. And because it is freezing outside, and is still cold in your home too, the best thing to warm you up a little bit is (beside a warm dressing gown) hot tea and apples...with cinnamon.

 I can tell you, cinnamon is my autumn/winter must have. I am totally obsessed! I add grounded cinnamon to my tea and meals as much as I can. Maybe it is because of me freezing all the time...

  Probudíš se ráno a doma je zima. Přeješ si jen zůstat v teploučké posteli a už nikdy nevylézt. Věřte mi, znám ten pocit. Ale je zde stále mnoho věcí, které musíme přes den udělat, a buďme k sobě upřímní, musíme ráno něco sníst. A protože venku mrzne a ve tvém domě je stále ta zima, nejlepší věcí jak se trochu zahřát (vedle teplého županu) je horký čaj a jablka...se skořicí.
  Můžu vám říct, skořice je moje podzimní/zimní nutnost. Jsem jí naprosto posedlá! Přidávám skořici do mého čaje a jídel co nejvíce můžu. Možná je to tím, že pořád mrznu...

5 Simple Healthy Breakfast Ideas

I want to share with you five, very easy to prepare, breakfast ideas. Six mornings I took pictures of my breakfast. All of them are based on fruit. I should mention, that it is NOT vegan. In my opinion colorful delicious breakfasts are the best option to start the day. It makes my mouth water just looking at the pictures below. Personally, when I eat in the morning healthy food, I have more energy during the day. Now let's see what I have prepared for you. Enjoy!

Amaranth Pancakes | Recipe

One morning I decided to make myself pancakes, which are healthier than normal ones but still delicious. So I thought I would share these recipe with you guys. I practically made it up all by myself, except the recipe is based on the one Jamie Oliver did on his Youtube channel.

I am so happy with the result. You can still taste the amaranth flour in there while eating *obviously*, however with honey and fruit it is the perfect breakfast!

Ingredients:

(8 - 10 pancakes)

½ mug (0,25 l) plain flour

½ mug (0.25 l) amaranth flour

1 mug (0,25 l) milk (here I am using rice milk)

1 egg

1 apple

1 pinch of salt

¼ baking powder

1 tbsp butter (or vegetable oil, which you prefer) 

Something on the top (honey, fruit, oatmeal....)

Step 1

In the large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients - amaranth and plain flour, salt, baking powder.

Step 2

Now add all the wet ingredients - milk, grated apple, egg. Wisk all the ingrediends together, until you see little bubbles in the mixture.

Step 3

Turn on the cooker. Put a teaspoon of butter on the crepe pan (or normal pan) and wait until the butter is heat up enough. You will recognise that moment if you put a tiny bit of the mixture on the pan and it starts sputter.

Step 4

Now comes the moment when you take your ladle (or just some scoop) and pour the mixture just on the middle of your pan. 

Step 5

When the fringe starts to seem done and you can see little bubbles in that area, it is time to turn over your pancake. If it is golden brown, you are on the right path. Repeat this proces with every pancake you make.

Step 6

Flavour you pancake with whatever you want and like. I doused mine with honey and sprinkled with grapes.

Step 7

Eat your breakfast and be delighted!

InstaMonth: February 2014

February is behind us now.  I almost cannot believe it!

I got flowers for my birthday, and also my pink orchid has blossomed. Y may know, that I love sunsets and I am addicted to them sice I was a little.

Except that I was sick, I was on intense schooling programme named "100 vědců do škol" (100 scientists into the schools). I really enjoyed it. It was so much fun! 

Morning pictures starting with yogurt with blueberries and oatmeal, the second one is my "I don't want to leave my bed" photo, in the third one is my dog Betynka (or Beth, which one you prefer) and finally home made heart cupcakes! 

In this collage you can see me filming a January favourites for you guys, and also two photos of me and my friend heading to our performance.
