The Minimalist Yogi

I’ve recently had a conversation with a friend, which then turned into a conversation about breakfast, I don't know how, but   reflecting on the conversation later I realize how dull my daily breakfast is. When I find something I like I tend to stick with it, hence my breakfasts have been very simple and I’ve been having the same things for the last years without ever changing it. The usual breakfasts are, yogurt with different topping such as, granola, fruits, and chia seeds sided with a green smoothie, and tea or lemon or water. My other go to breakfast is simple oatmeal; I can eat oatmeal for the rest of my life and be completely content. But then again I am creature of habit, I have strict routine that I follow and have difficulty with challenging them. Following my conversation with my friend I thought perhaps I should change things up a little and try something new. So today I’ve decided to make my favourite breakfast, which I haven’t had in years now, French toast. As ...

Lets talk about food! So for lunch today I felt really lazy so I decided to try something that’s minimalist, and took me literally five minutes to do it, and cost me about ten dollar.
