]]>Breakfast
Instead of using rolled oats or cereal, try making breakfast quinoa. Treat it as though it was oatmeal and add spices like cinnamon or cloves to it to really bring it to life. Combine it with fruits, nuts, or seeds, and you have a balanced way to stay your day.
The usual Cacao Quinoa Porridge 
I am done with all my lectures for today and am now eager to get assignments and stuff done. So proud of my growing time efficiency and planning lately- finally I am into my calender keeping again! 
And guess, what- except for Sunday I still haven't eaten any tofu! I am even recognizing that I am feeling slightly different.. but in a positive way (maybe because of less acids?)! It's not that I planned more than a week without tofu- it's just that I didn't craved it and instead I had different cravings… 
Excited what to learn from my body! But that shows me- whatever addiction or craving you have, just give in! Your body will stop craving something when he has got enough of it (trying this with rawbites atm 
) 
But I am still in love with tofu, don't get me wrong- if I see tofu, it's gone in less than seconds Quinoa Salad
Quinoa makes a great base for a salad because it has protein and will help keep you full throughout the day. Make some quinoa and then toss it together with lettuce, and whatever other vegetables you have on hand. You can stick with basics like tomatoes and cucumbers, or give it an Asian twist by adding bean sprouts, cabbage, and sesame seeds. Pour over soy sauce and you have a delicious lunch!
Quinoa Burgers
To finish the day, make these vegetarian burgers! Combine cooked quinoa with black beans, onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, and peppers. Bake or sautee in patty shapes and you’re ready to enjoy.

This is what we did last year and it was a total hit. Such a great way to use up leftovers and everyone tucked in to their favourite bits throughout the morning. I’m already looking forward to doing it again this year. Like so many others, I am in need of a digital detox and I want to just concentrate on being a mummy and have some proper time with my family, away from my phone so I’m switching off today and will be back again on the 2nd January. Do join me, it’s nourishing to take a break. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas x@deliciousyella
