Oats and Ice Cream

November 4, 2009

But not together ;) I was craving something breakfasty and we have a ton of quinoa so I started playing in the kitchen and came up with this recipe:

Vanilla Cinnamon Breakfast Mix

1 Cup of Quinoa (rinsed)

1 Cup of Steel Cut Oats

3 Cups of Water

Dash Of Cinnamon

Dash of Vanilla

Handful of Currants

Drizzle of Agave

 

Mix Quinoa, Oats and 3 cups of water and bring to a boil

Cover, Reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes

Stir in Cinnamon, Vanilla and Currants and mix together

Serve with a drizzle of agave and a tablespoon of nut or fruit butter

This is delicious! A nice touch of sweetness and very hearty. This is what Clifford did while I was cooking, he was one tired puppy. We went on a 45 minute walk and he was ready for a nap as soon as we got home.

So where does the ice cream come in? I drive by Culvers every single night and I can usually resist but when the sign says Butterfinger Pecan the car suddenly veered to the right and was pulling through the drive through ;) I was restrained and only got one scoop in a small dish, and it was oh so good. It has been months since I have had a bowl of cold creamy goodness. I have my fill for a while now.

I am cleaning up the kitchen and am heading to bed soon!

 

What is your favorite ice cream flavor and from where?

It’s ok to splurge every once in awhile! Good for you for not stopping every day! :) My favorite ice cream flavor is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough….no favorite place to get it…..almost any ice cream shop will do.
