Grilled papaya for breakfast
In the past I’ve tried to eat papaya and I did not like it. Some time ago I saw a picture on Instagram of somebody eating grilled papaya for breakfast on a tropical far away island. Mmm, that tropical island sounds soooo good don’t you think? But as I’m not off to a tropical island anytime some I tought I just had to do with the vibe that comes from eating the grilled papaya on my own balcony in the spring sun. I went to the Asian supermarket Oriental to buy some papayas. (I thought they were extremely expensive at Albert Heijn!) I grilled the papaya and ate it with some fresh lime juice. Nice! But not filling enough as a breakfast for me. So the next day I decided to put a few spoonfulls of Greek yoghurt on the papaya and… some coconut blossom sugar on top. I love how it caramelises so fast when you throw it on something a little wet. And … check the result here. (more…)
On cold winter days I like to have a hot breakfast to keep me warm on the inside as well. Plus I like a drinkable breakfast. One reason is that they are easy to take with you on the road. When I started experimenting with oats, fruit and ‘milk’ I really liked this one … 
When they start selling cooking pears again (from november) I buy them regularly. Preferably Gieser Wildeman. Uncooked they keep very well. For this breakfast recipe you need to cook the pears a day in advance. And prepare more than you will use: you can keep them in the fridge for a couple of days.
