Good morning! I just love this picture. Makes me want to spend the day in a cozy cabin somewhere, wrapped in a quilt by the fire, watching the snow fall outside. I’m in a hibernating sort of mood, so I’m wearing my favorite granny sweater and indulging in a big bowl of hot millet porridge with coconut. Mmm. It smells heavenly.
How was your weekend? I was so happy to spend time with my rellies and laughing myself sick at my craaaaazy brothers and cousins. We ate entirely too many gummy bears and butter tarts, talked far too late, and had a grand time.
It is good to be home again, happy and comfy in my own little space. Good to have all the dishes done and a big pot of homemade beef vegetable soup to eat this week. Good to be one year older and have the dearest people in the world to love and be loved by.
What do you like to do when you’re feeling hibernatey?
This is my contribution to Chaya’s Meatless Mondays.

That looks like a perfect meal for a cold day! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters

Porridge looks delicious. I’ll have to try adding coconut to regular oatmeal…Yes, that might be heavenly…Milk, too. Glad you had such a nice birthday!

I usually like to read and cook when hibernating, which is what I did this weekend 🙂
Awesome picture Krista, just lovin’ your beautiful snowy themes….., so different that what we’ve got going on over this side of the world 🙂
Glad your birthday was a treat & to answer your question…., I’m pretty much like you, like to curl up and enjoy the quieter months of winter, its a time of reflection and rest sometimes isn’t.
I love that gorgeous snowy picture, Krista! We had our first snowfall over the weekend but it’s since melted due to the rain we’ve been having…but it’s supposed to snow later this week (yay!). The porridge looks really delicious! The perfect way to warm up on a cold day!
That porridge looks & sounds heavenly Krista! xx
