Oats are one of my favorite things to have for breakfast or dessert. As a kid, my mom made only one variety of oats for my siblings and I: rolled oats with butter and brown sugar. Despite its lack of diversity, this was delicious, and was one of our favorite breakfasts. At that time, I had no idea that one of the best things about oats is their versatility. You can remake candies (such as almond joys and caramel apples), cakes (like strawberry shortcake), and all manner of desserts into something healthy without sacrificing flavor, or having to spend all day slaving over a hot […]...
Strawberry Shortcake Oats
I wanted to hurry up and post this recipe before summer is completely flittered away. I realize that most of you probably get to enjoy longer summers than I do (summer in upstate New York is a short and sweet affair), but I still thought I better hurry up and post this already, especially since I’ve been dreaming about strawberry shortcake oats since the start of strawberry season. As much as I love strawberries and shortcake separately, I’m not a huge fan of strawberry shortcake, mainly because I don’t like soggy cake. With oats as the shortcake replacement, the soggy cake problem is completely eliminated. […]...
Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Fresh Cherry Topping
I love breakfast meals. They’re filling, nutritious, relatively fast to make, and usually cheaper than other meals. Why not eat the most important meal of the day (breakfast!) for any meal? The recipe below is for one serving, because I’m sad to say my husband doesn’t like breakfast foods (aside from eggs, sunny-side up or scrambled), but also because this makes it easy to adjust for any number of people. Oatmeal Ricotta Pancakes with Cherry Topping (Yield: 1 serving) 2/3 c rolled oats (I used Quaker Old-Fashioned) ¼ c plus 1 TB ricotta cheese, divided 1 egg ½ small banana, mashed 1 tsp […]...
Caramel Apple Oats
I love summer for so many reasons, one of them being the carnivals/fairs/amusement parks and the carnie food that corresponds. The food smells wafting through the air are the best part of the carnival…sausage/peppers/onions, corn-on-the-cob, grilled chicken, cotton candy, funnel cake, fried dough…need I go on? One of my favorite summer food indulgences are caramel apples topped with nuts. Of course you could eat a caramel-nut apple from the carnival and justify it to yourself (hey, it is basically an apple), but why wait for the carnival, or even summer for that matter? You can enjoy caramel apple oats any time! Caramel Apple Oats […]...
Fruit & Nut Granola
This recipe is really versatile, since you can add any kind of dried fruit, nuts, and cereal you like. This granola is great by itself, with milk, with yogurt, on ice cream, or even on top of your morning oats (it doesn’t get much better than oats on top of oats!). :) Mixed Berry and Almond Granola (Yield: About 10 c) 4 c rolled oats ¾ c honey 6 TB salted butter or canola oil (if using canola oil, add ½ tsp salt) 2 TB virgin coconut oil ~1 tsp cinnamon (more or less depending on your taste; you could also use pumpkin pie spice with […]...
Almond Joy Oats
Who needs dessert after dinner when you can eat it for breakfast? I’ve always loved oats, even as a kid, but when I think of them I usually think of, well, something oaty…something for horses…something nutritious and chewy/mushy and not too full of flavor but great with a little honey and milk or cinnamon and brown sugar. The days of boring oats are gone. Through much inspiration and experimentation I have learned that oats can be anything you want them to be. These oats (as the name implies) were inspired by the candy bar, Almond Joy. They’re subtly sweet from banana, creamy from being […]...
Cheese Blintzes
Blintzes make a perfect weekend brunch. Imagine this…it’s Saturday morning, you’re slowly waking up to the sunlight streaming in your window and the birds chirping…you get up and brew your coffee (what’s better than the smell of coffee brewing in the morning?) and your stomach starts to growl, leaving you wondering what to eat. Since it’s a little too late for breakfast (it is Saturday, you’re entitled to sleep in!) and too early for lunch you decide to have brunch. Luckily, this recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make. Cheese Blintzes (Yield: Serves 2: makes 4 blintzes total, 2 per serving) […]...
BLT Crustless Quiche
What is the difference between crustless quiche and frittata?, you might be wondering. As far as I can tell, not much. The only difference that I know of, is that crustless quiche (like regular quiche) is made of a custard mixture (eggs and some form of cream or milk), while frittata is made of eggs. The end products end up being slightly different…quiche has a lighter and more delicate texture, while frittata is denser. In my recipe for crustless quiche I lighten it up by replacing cream with a purée of low-fat cottage cheese and milk…it actually has a very creamy consistency and does a […]...
