Winter snoozing is the BEST…I think our clouds are like electric blankies, haha.1. I would rather smell a skunk instead of ___oh, maybe dirty socks or the kitchen garbage with fish heads in it sometimes, but mama LOVES the smell of skunk. It is calle methyl mercaptan and for some reason, mama has a memory of it from growing up in Texas and loves it. Go figure…2. (Mama) I can’t believe the price of __fruits and vegetables in Italy and France because they are much much lower than the USA.3. I ___LOVED Felix for breakfast, but mama loves her (efficacious) breakfast cookies and is going to put the recipes here.4. (Mama) I always ___kiss my honey before turning in for the night.(I just pull my cloud over me and conk out.)
Suzanne’s Breakfast Cookies
1 1/2 cups of oat bran
1 1/2 cups of spelt flakes (farro in Italian, and the Roman army lived on it!)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4-5 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup toasted almonds
Dash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 egg
1/2 cup blueberries if you have any lying around–I just happened to have about 10 so threw them in, too.
Heat the oven to 350F or 185C.
In a mixing bowl, put all the ingredientsand mix well.
Barely butter or oil a cookie sheet and drop tablespoons of the batter evenly over the surface, pressing down the dough to flatten it into a cookie shape. You get about 9 or 12 cookies, depending on the size you wish.
Bake about 15 minutes or until nicely browned and crisp when cool.
I love these dunked in my cafe au lait or in red wine or milk or whatever you dunk in.
They do contain quite a bit of cereal so you won’t need prunes, haha.
