This is my attempt to keep a daily food and fitness diary. This isn't Pulitzer-winning writing; these are spontaneous, often hastily written rambles of what I eat, do and learn in my ongoing effort to feel awesome all the time. It may not always be pretty, but at least it's honest. You can find more stories and recipes at SmarterFitter.com.
My new favourite breakfast inspired by my new favourite blogger: Samayya of Pukka Paki. This is her recipe: Semolina ‘Suji’ Halva with Apple, Pear and Star Anise Compote.
It's a bit like Cream of Wheat meets polenta, with the fragrance of cardamom. Really exceptional and a cinch to throw together. Will make again.
This was soooo incredibly delicious. I soaked the barley the night before, so they only took about 15 minutes to cook in the morning. I cooked them in water with raisins and a pinch of cinnamon and allspice. Meanwhile, I baked some apples and pears - it didn't take long for them to soften enough to be mashed into a nice chunky compote. The creme fraiche and pecans take it all to a new level.
On a completely different note, I dropped my iPhone into the bowl while taking this photo.
First breakfast after camping weekend, so the notebook is out for some solid reflection time. Pumpkin preserves very yummy with pecans.
