Yesterday morning was a bit of a rush job, but I was determined not to slide. I pulled out the old multi-task hat (actually it rarely gets put away) and made a ‘cheesy-rice-broccoli-hummus’ bowls for breaky. This is one of those “mess-in-a-bowl” recipes that may not look that awesome but rates high on the ease and flavour factors. I can’t say I really have a recipe for this one, but here’s basically how to do it:

Cook 1/2 cup of rice/any grain (I used arborio rice since it’s kind of creamy if you stir it a bit). Ratio of Water: Rice is 2:1. (Rinse the rice thoroughly before putting it in the pot).

Once the rice is about 10 minutes from being done, toss in some broccoli or other veggie of your choice to steam. At the very end I added 1/2 a tomato to just barely cook.

Remove from heat and add in a few spoonfuls of hummus, 1-2 tsp of nutritional yeast, some salt & pepper, 1 Tbsp oil and/or Nut butter (I think I used macadamia nut butter and a bit of flax oil) and any seeds you have around (I used local hemp seeds).

Mix’r on up and you’ve got breakfast! It was a bit much for me to eat in one sitting so I took the rest for what turned out to be a much needed snack later in the morning…after I had spent a couple hours doing local food workshops for elementary kids!
