Porridge

[cecilia]

The Everyday Porridge is excellent.  Here is is with almonds and dates added in and garnished with yoghurt and strawberry - YUM!

Looks good.  Must admit, I have never made porridge in the TMX - I have been using the microwave for years and have the mixture well under control and just how I like it - and I think it is easier to clean the utensils I use when making porridge - my feeling is that the TMX would be a bit more time consuming to clean because porridge can be such a sticky mixture.

it is easier in the MW marina, but for the last few week i have been doing it the TM and i am very happy with it ,was more
of a personal challenge for me,  the trick is to heat up the milk 1st then add the oats

i had porridge last night for dinner a i made the CADA and mixed that through it was really yum and filling

CADA have u tried it ?

I Love CADA, Uni.  In fact, I have had to stop eating it because it was becoming too addictive!  DH has it every day for breakfast and I would have it every meal given the chance!

how much do u make at once? does the apple go yuk? how do u store it ?

[Cuilidh]

Because I can only use my TMX on Sundays, I make my CADA for the week then, minus the apple - we add that at the time we eat it.  I actually prefer the apple a bit on the chunky side so that works well.  I love it with Timboon yoghurt and strawberries / blueberries, etc.  Tenina once posted adding frozen mango cheeks at the time of making the CADA and I have been meaning to try this when I make a small portion of CADA as well and keep forgetting, but it sounds so totally delicious!  I think I am about to go into CADA withdrawal if I don't have some more soon!!!

Cuilidh, how come you can only use your TMX on Sundays?

I add blueberries to my CADA for a bit of antioxidant hit and today I also added some Crio Bru!  Just a small amount.  Tasted quite nice.

I made the EDC porridge for the first time today (an individual serving size).  I bought good quality oats & followed the recipe exactly aside from cooking for 10 minutes.  It was the best porridge I've ever eaten.  I think this will be a regular breakfast over the next few months.  I'm going to give the date & nut idea a go too, that sounds fantastic!

I hate to admit that I have never made my porridge in the tmx. I really should give it a try.

I agree with the others that MW porridge is easier, but the TMX makes it so easy to add yumminess like CADA, dates, seeds etc! When I'm making plain old porridge I use the MW, but a fancier/healthier version I use the TMX
I like Amy's porridge with apple & sultanas too...http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11672.0

I have been making this once every couple of days... milled the oats for a smoother consistency. Delicious.  Best porridge ever. A little golden syrup and milk.. perfect

It sounds perfect for a cool winter morning.

I make porridge in the TMX nearly very day, I love it put the bowl to soak as soon as the mixture is out give it a wizz and it isn't to bad to clean or I process the scraps for the worms straight after and the bowl is nearly rinseable.
