bright eyed
Cece inspired me with an email she sent me about vegan food. I have been really into super fresh produce lately..ya know, the farmers market variety...and also I just finished reading an incredible book called In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. The book really talks about how to bring consciousness to what you eat,for your body and your environment. Great book. Anyway, we got on the subject of one of our favorite bay area restaurants Cafe Gratitude and how lovely the food is there. I happen to have to cook book, and make this wonderful breakfast recipe often. It is fresh and feels really good to eat it, and it is really simple.
Here it is in case you would like to try!
I am Bright Eyed pecan Porridge
1 large apple
5 large ripe strawberries (or other seasonal berries)
2 1/2 cups coconut milk (I use way less cuz I don't like it too watery)
1/2 raw pecans
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
BIG pinch of cinnamon
Wash, core, and rough chop the apple. Wash and top the strawberries. Put all ingredients in a food processor, and pulse until desired consistency. Adjust spices if necessary. (again I like a lot of cinnamon and way less coconut juice.
Top with a few fresh berries! Yum!
