✨Take time to slow down and be intentional. Flow with the rhythms of the season. DM me for details. There is so much more exciting news to come!!

✨Made this delicious, nourishing oatmeal this morning. Filled with flavor and spices good for your gut! Super quick and easy too.

1 tsp. ghee
2 cardamom pods, slightly opened at one end
1-inch-long cinnamon stick
1/8 tsp pure vanilla powder
2 (or more, if small or not the highest quality) saffron threads
¼ cup rolled or steel cut oats*(see step 4)
½ cup water
½ cup almond, oat or cow’s milk
1 chopped Medjool date or 1 Tbsp. raisins

Procedure:

1 In a small saucepan that has a lid, heat the ghee over med-low heat.

2 Add the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick and toast for a minute or less, until fragrant.

3 Add the oats and saffron. Stir, coating the oats well with the ghee, allowing the ghee to pe*****te and absorb into the grains. Toast for a minute or two.

4 Add the water (first) and then the milk. If sweetening with dates or raisins, toss them in now.

*If using steel cut oats, increase water by ½ cup. You may need to continue to add water as the oats cook until they reach desired tenderness.

5 Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover.

6 Cook rolled oats for about 10 minutes. Cook steel cut oats for considerably longer .. 20 to 40 minutes, depending on your heat, your liquid and desired texture. Don’t be afraid to continue to add liquid. You’re the boss. The finished texture will be very creamy.

7 Remove from heat. Remove the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick.

8 Inhale, eat, smile, repeat.
