#grechka

January-February means exam time here, so if you happen to also have exams or just want some quick and simple breakfast ideas then this is for you!

On average these recipes take around 10-30 minutes, quicker if you already prepped the night before e.g. soaking oats if you're doing overnight oatmeal.

Cottage cheese & toast with an avocado and a boiled egg

Oatmeal with a banana and yogurt & an egg

Cheese omlette with toast & yogurt/kefir

Toast with a savory spread e.g. Hummus, Baba ghanoush, Tzatiziki, Ikra (eggplant caviar thing, 100% recommend)

Buckwheat porridge with milk (Grechka) and kefir

Millet Porridge (Pshenichnaya kasha) with honey and fruits & kefir

Barley Porridge with fruits and honey

Milk Rice Porridge with cinnamon and yogurt

Жизнь хрупка, обиды этого не стоят,

Life is fragile, there's no point in being offended

Ты прости, пойми кого то важного себе.

You should forgive and appreciate people important to you

Встань, признайся в том, в чём должен

Get up and confess to doing something that is needed

И если любишь, то ты всё ещё живой.

And if you love, you are still alive.

Храните этот запах, храните это чувство,

Keep this smell, keep this feeling

В жизни и так много грустного, 

There's so much sadness in the world

Чтобы грустить по пустякам,

To be sad because of nothing

Блуждайте вместе по новым местам.

And don't forget to travel with someone.

И будет человек, который вас полюбит

And there will be a person who will love you

И будет человек, которого полюбите вы.

And there will be a person for you to love

Единственное, прошу, живите люди,

The only thing I ask people is, please, just live

Мы часть чего-то большего, мы больше чем мы есть.

We are a part of something bigger, we are bigger than we are.
