At times, I
am this over ambitious person when it comes to meal planning for the week. And I miserably fail every time when it comes to
breakfast. Most of the times, my Plan A would be some elaborate menu which outright-ly
screams ‘FAILURE’. But knowing me better, I keep my Plan B, Plan C… Plan Z
ready with Plan B – having a loaf of bread handy so I can make a quick
toast or a sandwich. But more often than not, I will be forced to Plan Z almost
every day – fruits! Come on, I told you I am a total failure with breakfasts.
And then I get those angry glares from the bread loaf making me as guilty as
possible.
Enough of
failure stories. It’s time to brag a success story! It was one of those ‘The
bread glares till I die of guilt’ days. And I knew how exactly to deal with
them. I made this Bread Upma for evening snacks that used up the entire loaf. Yes, finally done with them all at once and they can never be happier as they cannot be any tastier.
It came out absolutely delicious if I can say so myself.
Husband and I loved every bite of it. Give this recipe a try and I am sure you
will not be disappointed.
