Mommy's Instant Oatmeal

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:12:21 -0500

After making instant oatmeal from packs and trying to adapt the quick oats for years, I finally created this basic high octane (fiber & protein) recipe to fuel our mornings. To accommodate changing tastes and my desire to experiment I mix and store the basic recipe. The desired add-ins are mixed when I serve the cereal. The recipe can also be increased to accommodate OAMC. -- posted by TeresaD

Creamy Quinoa Mousse

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:16:50 -0500

VERY healthy dessert or breakfast. This is the kind of recipe where you like it or you don't... if you do, you're in for a treat (there'd no guilt, it'ts even good for you!!!). The texture is slightly fibrous, due to the quinoa. Can be served warm or cold, l prefer mine partially frozen (I place them in individual cups, then freeze for an hour). Adjust spices to your taste. You can sub the milk for soymilk (if using vanilla flavoured, omit sugar and vanilla from ingredients). -- posted by Génial Génie

Bircher Muesli

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:33:05 -0500

Bircher muesli was created in the late 19th century by Dr Bircher Brenner. He believed that combining fruit and unprocessed grains would dramatically improve his patients' health. The muesli is designed to soak overnight to activate the enzymes in the seeds and whole grains. Though a few minutes in the microwave with water also works well. -- posted by Agnes #2

Sarasota's Steak & Eggs With Pesto Bread and Tomato Relish

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:32:27 -0500

I love to take an ordinary steak recipe and make it affordable any night of the week. This is one of those. I love steak and eggs, but I also love to cook a tender good steak. So, this is one of those dishes. One (1) strip steak made affordable for 3, served over grilled pesto bread and of course topped with fried eggs and a tomato basil relish. This is such a quick easy dinner. It looks like a lot, but it is not difficult. Serve this with some grilled asparagus as a side dish for a great perfect dinner. -- posted by SarasotaCook

I will be trying it with butter instead of margarine and I think I might substitute chopped dates for the prunes as well. The pumpkin and spices make think of Fall. -- posted by MN*Kelly

Wheat Sandwich Bread from Amish Starter

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:52:23 -0500

I had an abundance of Amish friendship bread starter and wanted to try something different than the sickly-sweet quick bread recipes out there. I saw JanuaryBride's Sourdough French Bread - ABM (Amish Bread starter) at http://www.recipezaar.com/sourdough-french-bread-abm-amish-bread-starter-375789 and decided to adapt it a bit. I have a Cuisinart SM-70 stand mixer, so my directions reflect this. Refer to your mixer's manual for the speed and duration to use for bread dough. You can also use a bread machine on the French Bread setting. Follow your machine's instructions. Keep in mind that the bulk of that prep time is idle time when your dough is rising and you can do other things. :) NOTE: The starter ingredients at the beginning are here for nutritional info only. The system doesn't know the nutritional info for starter, so I gave approximate measurements of the starter's ingredients). -- posted by Gardenwife

Spicy Seitan

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:20:18 -0500

This is the seitan recipe I came up with after looking at two fairly popular recipes (http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/06/veggie-lunch-meat.html and http://www.postpunkkitchen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15959&p=1). This recipe makes a nice sized (7 to 8 inches I suppose) sausage like loaf and can probably be easily changed to your taste based on what spices you use. Note: if you want it to be more like the former recipe (like lunch meat) cook it longer (30-45 mins steaming, 45 mins baking), if you're looking for a nice ground beef substitute 30-35 mins steaming, then another 30-35 mins baking is better. I've used the longer cooked seitan in stuffing and the lesser cooked in dirty rice. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all involved! I hope you enjoy it too! -- posted by Raven D

BBQ Flavored Seitan

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:57:54 -0500

I wanted to make more a BBQ type seitan after the success of my spicy seitan, so I made a few modifications to my original recipe and came up with this. I also made BBQ sauce for the first time and it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately I didn't really keep track of measurements, so I won't be posting that recipe right away. Also, if you're making this on a large scale (the first time I made this I actually octupled the recipe) you're probably going to need to add more of the liquid ingredients (maybe 1 to 2 cups more of the mixture). You want the seitan to feel similar to a wet sponge. Just like with my other seitan, how long you cook it will effect how hard or soft it is. Personally, I like this kind to be sort of like lunch meat, so I've included the times for making it a nice, soild, meat substitute. If you think you've over cooked it (it gets really browned), don't worry. Let it cool and bake it or fry it up later. The "skin" will soften when it's reheated. -- posted by Raven D

When I made this I miscalculated the time, so I put in the fridge and the next day added 1 can tomatoes w/green chilies and some leftover WW cheese and cooked for 30 minutes or so.

Better Banana Walnut Bread

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:16:26 -0500

I love banana bread! Unfortunately, it is always loaded in fat when you buy it or follow traditional recipes. There are tons of low fat recipe options out there but the always take out the walnut. Removing them will take away from those "scary numbers" we all watch; however, walnuts are such a rich source of nutrition that they are worth keeping. Side Note: Many people use "Splenda" as a sugar substitute, if you get an icky aftertaste try Stevia, like "Truvia". I personally prefer "Sun Crystal", a mix of natural sugar cane and stevia. Ultimately, it's your choice. -- posted by Southern Kitchen Gardener

They are the best the day they're made; leftovers can be stored in a container and snacked on the next day(they are still good). You could freeze them in zip-top bags as well. these work well in standard muffin tins. Feel free to use salted or unsalted butter.Adapted from David Lebovits's recipe in The New York Times and Maida Heatter's Great Book of Desserts. -- posted by Sharon123

Kamut Salsa Lettuce Wraps With Cojita Cheese Crumbles

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:21:32 -0500

Kamut is a type of wheat also known as Krorasan, that is powerfully nutritious - loaded with more protein, fiber many vitamins and antioxidants that "regular" wheat doesn't have. It can be found in natural food stores. The recipe can be found here: http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/2009/06/10/kamut-salsa-lettuce-wraps-with-cojita-cheese-crumbles/ While the kamut makes this dish extra special and almost exotic, brown rice coul be substituted. -- posted by ChefMamaBlogger

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:56:30 -0500

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter. -- posted by French Tart

Good Ol' Aussie Damper Bread

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:02:04 -0500

I made this on Australia Day this year (26th Jan) and it was absolutely beautiful. Quick and easy. Only thing I would say is keep an eye on it when in oven as it didn't take as long as recipe said. -- posted by Jamie Oliver wannabe

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:20:31 -0500

Our family's favorite recipe - I converted it to whole wheat a few years ago, and no one noticed! I use organic milk and organic sugar and eggs; it makes a real difference. -- posted by what's for supper?

Peanut Butter Granola

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:36:37 -0500

Here's a healthy granola that doesn't have a lot of oil, but has a lot of good-for-you ingredients in it. It's good sprinkled over vanilla yogurt or with milk -- or out of hand as I walk through the kitchen! I bake it at 325 for about 40 minutes, but my oven is going wonky, so I put the recipes original instructions here. You can substitute orange or cranberry juice for the apple juice. I've used almond butter instead of peanut and it turned out great. My picture shows goji berries and dried blueberries instead of raisins. -- posted by wife2abadge

Palm Springs Bagel

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:17:08 -0500

So my sister was raving about this "amazing" open faced bagel sandwich she had the other day at this cafe. I'm not the biggest avocado fan so I was a little skeptical when she started making one for me. I must say I gladly ate my words after one bite because this is SO DELICIOUS!!! It is seriously the perfect combination so please try it! -- posted by summerbreeze
