MY FOOD STAPLES

Being a huge foodie, naturally I have foods that I consider staples in my diet. These are foods that I eat almost every day and if I’m not stocked up on them I feel on edge and feel the need to go up to the supermarket and buy more – or should I say, my Mum goes.

So, without further ado, here are my top 5 food staples.

1) Porridge

My favourite thing to eat for breakfast, and what I eat most days, is porridge. I previously addressed the reason for this as being you can get creative with your toppings. However, I also genuinely like the taste of plain porridge oats. Call me boring or whatever you like, but I cannot deny my taste buds. Porridge is great because it’s filling and warming which is especially needed when living in Scotland.

This week marks National Breakfast Week! Yes, from the 24th to the 30th January, we are celebrating all things cereal and toast. To show my own appreciation to this under-the-radar celebration, I’m going to be sharing 10 ways to spruce up your porridge.

1) BANANA & ALMOND

This is one of my own go-to porridge combos. The banana makes a great natural sweetener and you can even mash half of it into the porridge. The almonds give it some added crunch.
