Good morning!
I hope the week has been great for you so far 🙂  Last week, I enjoyed an absolutely delicious new-to-me breakfast that I was introduced to by my grandma while I was home for Christmas…TEFF!
My grandma LOVES trying new foods just as much (if not more) than I do, and she was very excited to bring along some teff in her carry on while visiting my parents over the holiday. Â We enjoyed this tiny Ethiopian grain as a hot cereal for breakfast, and after posting a pic on instagram several of you asked for the recipe. Â My grandma was MORE than happy to share it with all of you.
What is Teff?
Teff is a very teeny tiny grain that is naturally gluten free with a slightly earthy, chocolatey flavor and a texture similar to cream of wheat or malt-o-meal when eaten as a hot breakfast cereal. Â It is widely used in traditional Ethiopian cuisine and is chock full of calcium, protein (7g per serving!), and fiber. Â It’s tasty and adds a fun twist to hot morning breakfast cereal.
Yields:  approximately 4 servings

Let me know if you give this wonderful little grain a try!! Enjoy 🙂
Before I head out for the day I wanted to give a shout to KIND! Â (The snack company!) Last week, they sent me a little reminder that today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, and to celebrate the day of love and caring they are performing 24 acts of kindness all throughout Denver! Â How sweet is that?
I’ll be performing my own acts of kindness (hopefully I can make it to 24 today!!) to spread the love, but I wanted to mention it so that you could help spread the kindness around too!
Here are some helpful Random Acts of Kindness resources:
Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day!!
