I am many days late in posting this. I was so on top of things up until I got sick and then I've been having issues with supply, so I have kind of been all over the place. Today has been the first day where I feel like a human again and like I can do more than simply go through the motions. Anyway, on to this drink: Horchata. There used to be this Mexican place I loved going to down here. Not only was their food great, but they also had some of the best horchata I'd ever tasted. The horchata at this restaurant was made with rice and I'm assuming milk because it was thick and creamy, almost like a rice pudding drink but smooth. I came across this oatmeal-based recipe in my quest for oatmeal recipes and it's pretty good. Not like the restaurant's, but still good enough that I will be making again. Anything to get more oatmeal in my diet!
In addition to these Chocolate Walnut Oatmeal Cookies, I have also made
Lactation Cookies,
Peanut Butter & Banana Oatmeal Smoothie,
Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes,
No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars,
Brown Butter Oatmeal Chunk Cookies, and
Chocolate Walnut Oatmeal Cookies.
