SmarterFitter Daily

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.

Added turmeric and cinnamon again (1/8 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cinnamon for 30g oats). With a splash of milk, mmmm.

Vegetarian Haggis

A bit of an experiment that turned out to be very good: a peppery, nutmeggy amalgamation of beans, barley, pinhead oats and spices. Had some savoy cabbage on the side (not shown).

I'll be using the leftover haggis as a stuffing for red peppers, mushrooms, and who knows what else. This is not the last you've seen of the veggie haggis!

Pinhead Oats with Pears, Turmeric and Cinnamon

Pinhead oats with pear, turmeric and cinnamon

Turmeric in oats? Yeah, I was skeptical too. But someone recommended it on Twitter so I had to give it a try. The result? A porridge win! 

I used 30g pinhead oats cooked in water with 1 very small pear, scant 1/8 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Served topped with pecans and a splash of milk. 

The pear was perfect with the turmeric and cinnamon. A nice breakfast for cold dark winters.
