Oatmeal Champorado

It was a cold Sunday morning and I was craving for something warm for breakfast. I remembered how my sister used to make me champorado (chocolate rice porridge) when I was on vacation without using glutinous rice and I always devour it, actually me and my niece. Hubby decided he wanted his cereal so I made one just for me.

This is very quick, easy and delicious recipe. Try it, I know you want to. :)

To make: 

Heat a pan or pot. Put 8 tablespoons of regular oatmeal, rolled oats can also be used. Toast the oatmeal in the pan until you start smelling the aroma of it getting toasty. Pour a cup of water and simmer for few minutes until oatmeal softens, add condensed milk and  dark chocolate. You can use any kind of dark chocolate. Adjust the sweetness according to your preferred taste. This serving is good for 1 person.

Here's my warm and filling breakfast!

Until next time. Cheers!

Winter Wonderland!

I'm back! Been out of the country for a long time (that's how I felt from a six week trip) and preparing for a very cold winter because last year we didn't get any snow and it was awesome!  Hubby had to shovel the driveway at 5:30 in the morning so he can leave early and not be caught in the morning traffic while I get his breakfast and lunch ready.

It was a little brighter at 8:00 and the snow accumulated more. I opened the bedroom window and this is what I saw:

My backyard, who wants to build a snowman? :)

I absolutely love this kind of scenery but I'm not a fan of shoveling the snow haha! Anyway, I'm off to making something soupy for my lunch.




Until next time. Cheers!
