Day 24 - what I miss...

After 24 days of eating raw vegan & gluten free I have to say the thing I miss the most is warm food.  Funny - it's not what I expected - I thought I'd miss chocolate & banana bread & bread in every form - but no - it's the warmth. I mentioned this to Rayna at www.healthyfunkyfoods.com who's supplying all my amazing meals for the 30 day challenge & when I arrived to pick up my last set of meals she had something special for me. Warm oatmeal! It was so good - made with steel cut oats (gluten free), cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, fresh raspberries & almond milk. It was so good - smelt like fresh oatmeal cookies & tasted creamy & gritty & sweet & a bit spicy (in that cinnamon, cardamom spicy way).  I have to admit. I took 2 portions home & ate them both immediately. I really, really enjoyed that warm feeling in my belly & I love gritty food so it was dreamy.  The photo doesn't do it justice - but this is really, really satisfying.
