Breakfast Ravioli

I haven't been cooking lately, or doodling for that matter.  What was I doing then, you ask?  Working on my "note."  Doesn't sound too bad?  Yeah, well it is and I'm pretty sure they call it something unassuming so you don't realize it is really a horrible 75-page scholarly article.  If they called it "Super Duper Boring Death Article-Writing Club," I sure as hell wouldn't have taken it.  Anyway, I've been busy.  But today, I had this breakfast idea, which is genius because: (a) we happened to had all the ingredients lying around, despite the fact that we haven't been grocery shopping since before winter break; (b) it is super easy to make; (c) it is entirely delicious.  In fact, it beats the pants off the bagels I have been living on.


Breakfast Ravioli
10 frozen cheese ravioli
1 Tbsp. chopped pecans (hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts would probably be delicious as an alternative)
1 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. honey
   cinnamon

  1. Prepare ravioli according to package instructions.
  2. Toast pecans at 350 F.
  3. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl.
  4. Add cooked ravioli and honey.  Stir gently.
  5. Add pecans.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.  Stir gently.
  6. Slap your significant other's hand when he tries to steal your ravioli.
...come to think of it, this would probably be good with some chopped pears.  But we didn't have those.  Give it a try though.

  1. I think this would be delicious with a host of fruits, but it's just a darn good idea.

  2. I'm not sure if I invented it, or if I'm just like that second guy who thought he invented calculus, and he did in fact come up with the clever idea all by himself but Newton (?) beat him to the punch.
