Breakfast for Two, Overnight Oats and a Simple Fruit Salad, Food Diary

 

Another day another spring my father used to say. Every morning is another opportunity to start over and this morning is no different. The sun is shining with gusto and instead of one breakfast there's two of them cause the Offspring is home!

They're from the dry-batch I prepped two weeks ago. One with coconut and turmeric the other with coconut and ginger. Both of them topped with a fruit salad which I made yesterday from fruits that pleaded to be cut up when I checked on them. 

The Offspring made a list of things to eat while she's home and at the top of that list is a full Irish Breakfast. I'm partial to a fry up but am really enjoying the combination of the overnight oats and the fruit salad too much so she'll have to wait.

I made the fruit salad last night from fruit that had been hanging out in the kitchen for too long. I made enough to last us for a few days because salads like this get better over a period of two or three days.

Simple Fruit Salad

3 pears 

2 kiwis 

3 small apples

1/2 ts of grated lemon rind

A splash of lemon juice

Cut up all the fruit and mix with the grated lemon rind and juice. Cover and keep refrigerated until use.

This salad will improve over a period of 2 days as the juices infuse with the lemon rind and juice. After that it'll start to disintegrate. It'll still be edible but become less appetizing to look at and the texture will become softer which I personally don't enjoy. 

Note: 

Use firm pears rather than soft ripe ones for texture.
