When I posted about my encounters with the Eden grains (spelt flakes and kamut flakes), a few readers asked if these grains were as dense/filling/creamy as oats. My answer: Sadly, no. They’re good; don’t get me wrong. But the kamut and spelt flakes are just–for lack of a better word–flimsy in comparison to those marvelous oats.

It was only a matter of time before, in an attempt to make these grains creamier and more filling, I subjected the flakes to my favorite cooking method/gadget:
Better-n-Cream of Wheat

Chocolate-Covered Meal of the Day
The meal of the day is for today’s Second Breakfast. Last night, I made up one and a half servings of kamut flakes (a.k.a. 60 grams instead of 40– I like me a BIG bowl of grains). I added quite a bit of cinnamon and used the melted-banana trick. Then I subjected the grains to my now-famous Blended Grains’ Technique.
This morning, upon my return from a chilly run, the gorgeous grain pudding was waiting for me.
I poured on a pool of warm almond milk and basked in the deliciousness.
Blend, Baby, Blend

Taking an almond-milk bath (It’s good for the skin, haven’t ya heard?)
And in true chocolate-covered fashion, I devoured some Dark Chocolate Dreams alongside the blended kamut pudding.
Perfection.
I think anytime you edit a blog it reposts it (Which I’m sure I’ve annoyed all my followers because sometimes I re-edit my posts like 5 times…whoops!)
I have somewhat of an opposite problem — I’ve clicked “Publish” instead of “Save” when the post is still not ready. I’m sure my subscribers get a kick out of seeing a half-finished post.
Oh, crap. Is that a wordpress issue only?….I hope so. I constantly edit on blogger.
