2 Weeks of Breakfast: Day 8. Cottage Cheese with Dried Fruits

I had way too much wine and fried calamari for dinner last night to even consider frying or baking anything today for breakfast. Regardless, to maintain a balanced diet, you need to get your dairy at least every now and then.

So today' breakfast was simplicity itself: cottage cheese with dried fruits.

Ingredients:
cottage cheese
dried cranberries (sweet ones)
dried pitted prunes
dried apricots
fresh blueberries
jam (if you wish)
nuts



Really, I don't think I need to write a recipe, but here it is, just in case.
Quarter the apricots and the prunes and throw into a bowl. Add raisins, cranberries, nuts (ground, sliced, or whole - as you wish), mix - and serve.

You can also add jam, or canned fruits like peaches or mandarins. And enjoy - it's a really healthy breakfast made tastier (there aren't many people who would enjoy plain cottage cheese, I believe :))

You can even pre-soak raisins in rum and then serve them - mmmmm!
