Re: Yummy breakfast I made for Ava out of desperation today...

Now I want some yummy french toast! The bagel I just had seems so pale in comparison to what you made - and this is for me since DD can't eat yet!

Too late now for today's breakfast but I might be crazy and make it for myself for dinner... yummy

Re: Yummy breakfast I made for Ava out of desperation today...

Here is another thing I made for breakfast!

Berry Breakfast Risotto

4 and 1/2 cups water
1 cup uncooked arborio or medium grain rice
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
In two-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat the water until it reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to low. This step is just to have hot water on hand.

Now, take a large saucepan and place it over medium heat. Combine the rice, half-and-half, sugar and vanilla in this pan and cook for 1 minute - stirring gently.

Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in 1 cup of the hot water. Stirring frequently, cook until the water is absorbed.

Continue stirring, adding water 1 cup at a time - allowing each cup to be absorbed before adding the next.

Cook until rice is tender and the risotto has a creamy consistency - about 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in raspberries and strawberries.

Stir gently until risotto is light pink - about 1 minute.

Serve warm.
