Warm Breakfast with Book

I had a cold. I had run out of food completely. I was regressing to children's literature (book pictured: The BFG by Roald Dahl) due to complete sinus congestion.

Times like these it is important to remember that a delicious, nutritious and sweet breakfast can be prepared from pantry items! Either quinoa (as described in the New York Times) or

-brown or white rice, or in my case, semi-instant jasmine rice from the Thai grocery store

-cook the rice and then add (and heat)

-soy milk (nutty and sweeter than regular milk, better for sinus congestion!)

-maple syrup, walnuts, chopped apples, cinnamon, cardamom, and a tiny dash vanilla extract

Eat it straight from the pot if you're really sneezing a lot.
