Warm Winter Breakfast
I must admit I am not a breakfast eater. I know, I know, it’s the most important meal of the day, but in the midst of the morning rush, I often simply forget to have breakfast.
Breakfast in our house has to be quick, easy and be able to sustain two very energetic children until morning tea time. Toast, doesnt quite fill them up, cereal is good but on a chilly winter’s morning (it was 1 degree here yesterday) nothing is as good as a bowl of warm oats!
Hubby has long preapred “porridge” for himself and master O. Let me say “prepare” as in with military precision, in which the perfect amount of oats to water ratio is achieved, they soak over night and are then cooked to perfection with constant stirring on the stove top. SERIOUSLY! So unless he is here to make breakfast, “Porridge” is not happening. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
So in an effort to try the whole porridge making caper, I did my homework. I have been assured there is really no need to “soak” my oats over night and even in fact you can make porridge in the microwave! That’s more my style. So introducing The My Pigeon Pair version of a “Porridge ” breakfast.
1. Take UNCLE TOBYS Oats Quick Sachets.
2. Add milk or Water to fill line
3. Microwave for just 90 seconds, stir and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Yep it was seriously that easy!
OR YOU can add step number 4 and get all fancy like me and decorate!
You read right! I love to decorate the porridge! If it only takes me 90 seconds to make, then I can surely spend another 30 seconds making breakfast fun!

- Banana Letter O especially for Master O. I cut the banana into pieces and put them into an O shape on top of the porridge.
