Y’know how everyone loves taco night?
Like, choose your own toppings! That just gets everyone jazzed, doesn’t it?
But tacos aren’t the only “fixins” type meal you can serve your family. All you need is a “base” meal that can be done up and customized and everyone will be happy. Thanks to my girl Xandra at Womb to World Wellness for this recipe that likes to dress up for any meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Triple Grain, Gluten-free, Protein Packed Porridge
This makes a lot, but porridge freezes well so you can store in glass mason jars in your freezer (be sure to leave room at the top for expansion). When you’re ready to use it, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and heat up on stovetop.5 cups water
1/3 cup quinoa
1/3 cup amaranth
1/3 cup milletCombine all ingredient in a pot, bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Continue to simmer for 20-30 minutes, until grains are soft and water is absorbed.
For breakfast: Add some cinnamon, seasonal fruit, chia seeds, coconut flakes, almonds, etc. If you know you’re going to be using it for breakfast only, you can substitute some almond milk for a portion of the water if you want a creamier consisitency.
For lunch or dinner: Add leftover sautéed vegetables and your favorite spices (around here, that’s Himilayan sea salt and paprika). This can be eaten hot or cold. If you know you’re going to be using for lunch and dinner only, you can substitute some vegetable stock for a portion of the water to add depth to the flavor.
