Quick & Easy Breakfast Ideas

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, but when you are rushing out to work in the morning it can get a bit tricky deciding what too make and eat. Here are some of my favourite quick and easy breakfast ideas that I hope will inspire you to try out! 

Avocado & Egg on toast


This is my favourite meal to start the day and it's so quick and easy to make! All you need is a ripe avocado, 1 egg and a
slice of wholegrain bread too toast. You can serve the egg a number of different ways; fried, scrambled or my favourite poached, mash up the desired amount of avocado on freshly toasted bread, place egg on top, add a bit of salt & pepper and you are good to go!

Fruit & Yoghurt

This is really a quick and simple breakfast recipe and is great for warmer summer weather. All you need is a handful of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and a dollop or two of low fat natural yoghurt. Mix together in a mug or a small bowl and it's ready to eat! It you fancy a bit more flavour you could try sprinkling some cinnamon over the top. 

Cinnamon porridge with bananas and berries

Porridge for breakfast is a great way to give yourself a good boost of energy that will keep you going until lunch time. All you need for this delicious breakfast idea is porridge oats, cinnamon, sugar (if you'd prefer it a bit sweeter) 1 banana, a handful of strawberries and 1 pot of fat- free natural yoghurt. 
First things first! In a medium-sized saucepan, mix the oats, cinnamon, sugar, milk and the sliced banana. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Turn down the heat and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring all the time. Once placed into bowl serve with strawberries, a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

New York Cult Recipes

Happy Monday everyone!

Todays blogpost will be a mini review of one of my favourite recipe books. The New York Cult Recipes cook book.


I picked this up a few months ago and I love it! I'm an avid fan of New Yorks famous foods; bagels, cheesecake and pizza. (What's not to like?!) 
The photography alone is a reason enough to pick it up- it's beautifully layed out and would make a great coffee table book.
 It includes 130 recipes of some of NYC's cult food establishments. The recipes are divided into 7 chapters including recipes for breakfast, brunch and snack time!

One of my favourites, is 'Home-made Oreos.' These little chocolate treats give your store bought Oreos a run for there money! 


Another favourite is the classic 'Grilled cheese sandwich.' This is one of the cult snack sandwiches in NYC and is so quick and easy to make and it tastes great!


You can purchase this recipe book on Amazon for under £20 and if you love American junk food as much as me- you may need this book :)
