My Best Granola Yet

2011-05-21T13:13:00.003-08:00

Now....remember how I made it....and all of the ingredients....wish me luck!

Ingredients (for a huge batch)
8 cups whole oats (or you can use half whole half quick)
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup ground flax seed
2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
1 1/2 cups seeds (sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, poppy....)
3/4 cup olive oil
1 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 TBSP vanilla
1 TBSP almond extract
2-3 TBSP cinnamon to preference
MIX DRY TOGETHER (1st 6 ingredients). MIX WET TOGETHER ON STOVE TOP TIL BLENDED. MIX BOTH TOGETHER IN A HUGE BOWL UNTIL ALL IS MOIST. BAKE 325 FOR 20-30 MINUTES STIRRING EVERY 10 MINUTES UNTIL NUTS AND OATS ARE TOASTED. PLACE BACK INTO HUGE BOWL....

THEN ADD....YOUR FRUITS TO YOUR LIKING. HERE'S AN IDEA OF SOME. ADJUST THE COMBO AS YOUR FAMILY LIKES. TOTAL SHOULD BE AT LEAST 4 CUPS OF THE FRUIT.
1 cup dates
1 cup raisins
1 cup craisins
1 cup dehydrated blueberries
1 cup chopped, dehydrated apples
1 cup dried pineapple chunks, chopped small
1 cup dried mango, chopped small
1 cup dried strawberries, chopped small

MIX FRUIT INTO YOUR TAOSTED OATS MIXTURE.

Combine on stovetop then pour into combined mixture.
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup water
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

ONCE ALL COMBINED, PLACE BACK ONTO COOKIE SHEETS AND BAKE AT 275 FOR 45 MINUTES. STIR EVERY 10-15 MINUTES. GRANOLA SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRY, BUT WITH A HINT OF MOISTURE. AT THE END IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE 1 BIG GRANOLA BAR.
SET OUT TO COOL FOR 15 MINUTES THEN CRUMBLE INTO BITE SIZE PIECES OR CUT INTO BARS. GRANOLA CEREAL NEEDS TO BE KEPT IN A SEALED CONTAINER. GRANOLE BARS DO BEST IN INDIVIDUAL PLASTIC BAGS.

HAPPY AND HEALTHY EATING!!!

Hawaiian Haystacks

2011-02-01T18:33:00.003-09:00

Oh what a yummy meal this was! It has been SO long since I have had these, certainly since I was a child. Did you know these are a "mormon meal" just like green jello and funeral potatoes? I didn't. Either way, I wanted to make this without using the standard Cream of Chicken (processed crap) soup and broth as the gravy. Really, what kid of gravy is that anyway?? So, here's what I did and let me tell you....AWESOME!!! Ok, now I'm bragging, but seriously it was that good.

Prepare your rice for the meal. I made about 6 cups cooked rice.

Gravy/Sauce Ingredients:
3 TBSP butter
1 onion chopped
1 TBSP minced garlic
3/4 cup multi colored bell peppers diced
fresh chicken cut into small chunks (I used 2 breasts)
1/3 cup flour
1 can chicken broth
1 can fat free evaporated milk (I want to try coconut milk next!!)
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
sliced mushrooms

Saute the onion, garlic, peppers, and chicken in the butter. Add a little salt and pepper for the sauteing and cook until the chicken is white and cooked through. Then sprinkle the flour over the sauted chicken and veggies and stir for about a minute. This helps to decrease that flour-y taste in your sauses. After its good and cooked for a bit, slowly wisk in your broth and your milk. Add your mushrooms and your seasoning while stirring. Bring back to a boil and continue to stir until your sauce is thickend to desired consistency. Remove from heat. Wha-La! Now you have a yummy gravy to go over your rice.

So in order you would stack on your plate or in a bowl - Rice, then gravy, Chow Mein Noodles and any or all of the toppings (below) you and your family want after that.

Toppings:
Chow Mein Noodles
Pineapple chunks
Mandarin Oranges
Tomatoes
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Olives
Green Onions
Fresh Cilantro

This made enough to feed my family of 5 with leftovers for at least 3 of us.

Kari's Chocolate Chip Cookies

2010-12-10T09:18:00.003-09:00

Here we go! I think I have finally perfected this dang cookie! This recipe makes a TON (about 8 dozen 2 inch cookies) so unless you need a ton, feel free to cut this recipe in half or just make those Subway sized cookies and get 4 dozen or so. Either way, if you like Chocolate Chip Cookies, you will LOVE this recipe!

INGREDIENTS:

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt (only add if you are using unsalted butter!)

1 1/2 cups butter; softened

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 TBSP vanilla

2 cups semi-sweet/or dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:

same as all c.c. cookie recipes! mix dry ingredients, set aside. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add one egg at a time and blend well. Add vanilla. Slowly and gently mix in dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips.

Bake at 375* for 10-14 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes on the pan. (My oven was perfect at 12 minutes for the first batch and then 11 for the rest of the batches. Last batch I accidentally put 12 instead of 11 minutes, and they burned bad SO watch them carefully. The second they get slightly brown on the edges, take them out and they can finish cooking while they sit for the 5 minutes.) Remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

ENJOY!!!

1 gallon whole milk
1 quart cultured buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pour milk and buttermilk into a large pan and suspend the thermometer in the

(the lumps) and whey (the liquid).
Line a strainer with several lavers of moistened cheesecloth and set it
inside a large bowl to lift the curds from the milk mixture and lay them in
the cheesecloth. Pour the remainder of the whey through the cheesecloth
and save the whey for other recipes.

Golden Corral Rolls

2010-03-18T16:09:00.001-08:00

1 envelope Active dry yeast
1/4 cup Very warm water
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Butter or margarine
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Scalding hot milk
1 Egg −− lightly beaten
4 1/2 cups Sifted all−purpose flour
2 tablespoons Melted butter or margarine −− for brushing rolls
Sprinkle the yeast over very warm water in a large bowl (Very warm
water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Stir until
yeast dissolves. Add sugar, the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and salt
to hot milk and stir until the sugar dissolves and butter or margarine
is melted. Cool mixture to 105 to 115 degrees. Add milk mixture to
yeast, then beat in egg. Beat in 4 cups of the flour, 1 cup at a time,
to form a soft dough. Use some of the remaining 1/2 cup of the flour to
dust a pastry cloth. Knead the dough lightly for 5 minutes, working in
the remaining flour (use it for flouring the pastry cloth and your
hands). Place dough in a warm buttered bowl; turn greased side up.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/4
to 1 1/2 hours. Punch dough down and knead 4 to 5 minutes on a lightly
floured pastry cloth. Dough will be sticky, but use as little flour
as possible for flouring your hands and the pastry cloth, otherwise
the rolls will not be as feathery light as they should be. Pinch off
small chunks of dough and shape into round rolls about 1 1/2 to
1 3/4 inches in diameter. Place in neat rows, not quite touching,
in a well−buttered 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Cover rolls and let rise in
a warm place until doubled in bulk, 30 to 40 minutes. Brush tops of
rolls with melted butter or margarine, then bake in a 375 degree oven
for 18 to 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm with plenty
of butter. This recipe yields about 2 dozen rolls.

3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
5 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. nutmeg
2 cups mashed potatoes, cooled
3 to 3−1/2 cups flour
Beat eggs; add sugar, shortening and vanilla. Add mashed potatoes and milk
and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, salt
and nutmeg. Stir in additional flour to reach batter consistency (this is
"by look and feel"−− It should still be somewhat sticky...it will pick up
more flour when you roll out the dough on a floured surface). Chill the
dough for several hours or overnight. Take a portion of the dough and rough
out to about 3/8 to 1/2 inch thickness, using flour as needed to prevent
your rolling pin picking up dough. Use a donut cutter and cut out your
donuts. Preheat oil in deep fryer to 375F (use a thermometer if you're using
a fry daddy!). Fry 3−4 donuts at a time −− turning when they are a nice
golden brown. Drain on brown paper bags to remove excess grease.
