IslamoSophia - Food and Health

Hi everyone, I've been in a very busy time with the children off on Summer holidays at home, work (teaching and  writing) and keeping these stomachs full and satisfied.   With the Holy month of Ramadhan on our horizons and my need to remain practical and creative I've been making my fair share of deserts. A week ago we were invited to a friends house for a swimming lunch where the children were quite content to swim for 4-5 hours straight even while I left them in the pool and went to my class and returned to 3 very satisfied children as we sat down to have a piece of beautiful, dark (my family's favorite chocolate color) and not to mention very chocolatty (is that even a real word - it should be) which was one of my contributions to this feast (before Ramadhan).

Ever since I was a child, our family have been eating semolina pudding with cinnamon and sugar or honey.  Now that my own family have switched to grains as the center of our diet, I started looking for more ideas to make semolina pudding and I found this very nice recipe from Scandi Home  I liked the freshness of this semolina pudding and the idea of the vanilla so I thought I would share it since we are focusing on grains right now. Don't worry, we will still have the regular semolina post for our series also some great effects that we have been experienceing and discoveries we've made (you all may already know them) but we'll be sharing them soon in a post so have your Semolina pudding and check back. More wheat to you!
