2087. Cream of Wheat Pudding

Before the utter adulteration and vilification of the concept of wheat, the grain used to be a nutrient dense source for health. Now, flour is bleached (literally) and stripped of all natural nutrient before getting some synthetic additive treatment, causing inflammation and allergies galore. So, what is cream of wheat?

2083. Tahini Maple Granola

Tahini is an ingredient I have known forever, but I have been enjoying getting to know it on a different level through varying uses in a multitude of recipes.

2078. Grapefruit Yogurt

Greek yogurt for breakfast is considered high protein.

2069. Baked Eggs Toast in Cream

You can go simple with this egg toast in cream, or amp up the flavor by infusing the cream with aromatics.

2056. Basic Sourdough Granola

I'm not counting how many granola recipes MCW holds, and neither should you.

2023. Iraqi Potato Omelette

This Iraqi potato omelette is as simple as it can get and an old family favorite. The hardest part is making sure the potatoes are fully cooked through before cracking in the eggs.

2010. Hazelnut Butter Granola

Let's support Algeria! Algeria makes this amazing hazelnut butter spread, think: kinder bueno filling.

1986. Black Eyed Peas Thareed

Thareed (or tashreeb) bagilla or broad bean thareed, is a festive Iraqi breakfast. This slightly lighter version uses black eyed peas instead of broad beans. It is an adaptation from my brother in law and is very easy to whip up.

1978. Rice Paper Egg Bagel

Rice paper is the new cottage cheese where all these viral recipes are making things you never though imaginable to be done by this simple humble ingredient.

1914. Blueberry Chia Yogurt Pudding

I make my own yogurt weekly using two litres of milk. I then strain it to get 1 kilogram of greek yogurt, and about a litre of whey. To make this blueberry chia yogurt pudding, I thin it out a bit using the whey.

1888. Sour Lebna Balls

I was lucky to get my hands on a no-nonsense natural yogurt starter from a Turkish expat who got it from her mom. I have been making yogurt and straining it into greek-style yogurt weekly for months now. It was just a matter of time before experimenting with degrees of sourness and making these lebna balls.

1864. Fruity Yogurt Drink

Why buy fruity yogurt drinks with tons of sugar and additives when it's so much quicker and easier to make right at home?

1861. Wheetabix Overnight Yogurt

This is a healthy and nutritious way to start the day whether breakfast of suhur: layers of whole grain soaked in milk, topped with protein-rich greek yogurt, and a final touch of fruit cooked down and thickened with chia seeds and sweetened with honey. 

1849. Smeagol Eggs

I made a promise to my niece to call this recipe Smeagol Eggs. If you know, you know. But if you don't know, well, Smeagol from LOTR would sneak up on bird nests and drink the eggs. Not the most delicious analogy, but I can promise that these runny eggs are a family favorite. 

1816. Buckwheat Granola

This is the first time I use buckwheat. Although coming from wheat, it has many health benefits that I preferred making an oat-less granola just to let it shine.

1810. Cottage Cheese Scrambled Eggs

Cottage cheese has gotten a makeover. It used to be known as this 90's diet food, ultra bland and ultra boring. One of the most prominent makeovers is cottage cheese scrambled eggs, which just ups the protein so efficiently. 

1799. Zaatar Omelette

When "trends" first became noticeable, I was irked and refused to contribute. With time, the trends became better and more irresistible, and now I have quite the repertoire of tried and true trendy internet recipe. This is one such recipe. 

1766. Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats

Another overnight oat recipe is probably not what this blog needs, but this was just too go not to share. Instead of jam, frozen blueberries are cooked down, sweetened with some honey, and thickened with chia seeds. 

1763. Cottage Cheese Egg Bites

High protein breakfast on the go? Make egg bites. At just three ingredients, they are storable, packable, and microwavable. 

1747. Tomato Scrambled Eggs

A while back I published an Iraqi favorite for breakfast, fried tomatoes. This is usually served beside some scrambled eggs. This twist fried the tomatoes, then cooks the eggs in the fried tomato.
