A new kind of breakfast

One thing that I've heard again and again is that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  The last time I heard it was yesterday from my personal trainer, mainly when she was scolding my hubby for always skipping breakfast.  Every site I can find says to make breakfast your main meal of the day even WebMD stresses the importance.  So this morning - we decided to have some fun!

A breakfast that the hubby used to eat a lot growing up was rice and raisins...in...milk.  Wait, what?  First off, rice goes with beans, or stir-fry, or rolled in sushi!  Second off, even if you did mix it with raisins, why on earth would you drown it in milk!?  Rolling my eyes at such a strange suggestion, I let my hubby go to work in the kitchen while I vacuumed.  After a relatively short amount of time, he presented my bowl of breakfast to me:

And it looked pretty damn good! 

He added the raisins with the instant rice from the get-go and let them cook together.  When it was finished on the stove top, he poured some into a bowl and added coconut milk.  On top of that was freshly cut apples and bananas - and for my sweet tooth he included a sprinkle of brown sugar.  I'm now sitting here with an empty bowl feeling very full, but knowing this fruity breakfast will help in my workout in a couple hours!  I guess the moral of this blog post is: don't knock it till you've tried it!  YUM!
