A lot of people don't like oatmeal because of the texture. It looks like something disgusting that is plopped on metal trays and given to people in prison. I don't necessarily feel that way but some people do. ;-) For those of you who may have unresolved issues with oatmeal, I encourage you to try baked oatmeal. The texture is slightly crunchy/chewy on the top and soft in the middle. Today was my first time making baked oatmeal, so I have much more to learn, I'm sure. I'm going to play with the recipe some more--maybe try adding nuts or fruit, try steel-cut oats, experiment with a few different sweeteners, etc. But I liked the initial result. 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats 1 cup brown sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup whole milk 2 eggs, slightly beaten 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the butter in a 9 � 13-inch baking dish and place in the oven to melt. Be sure not to let the butter burn. In a...

Another recipe from my cousin Katy, who is also the organizer of the dinner group I belong to. Katy's cooking never fails to please. Anyway, Katy made a batch of these cowboy cookies the other night, and I had to have the recipe! Who doesn't love a good oatmeal chocolate chip cookie? Cream together: 1 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs Add dry ingredients: 2 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Add other ingredients: 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 - 2 cups chocolate chips 2 cups rolled oats Heat oven to 350 degrees. Drop onto greased baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes. Makes about 5 dozen cookies. You can also roll the dough in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. When you want to bake them, cut off slices and bake them.

I tried my hand at making granola yesterday. I've always liked granola, but it tends to be pretty expensive. Also, I'm not a big fan of raisins, which seem to be a part of most granolas. So I set out to make my own version of homemade granola. I started with a very positively-reviewed recipe (called Megan's Granola) from allrecipes.com and then made some minor alterations based on my personal preferences. For example, the original recipe calls for 1 cup sunflower seeds. I don't dislike sunflower seeds, but they seemed like an odd ingredient for granola. Plus, I didn't want the additional expense. I also didn't add the two cups raisins or craisins (No offense, but yick to craisins!) for the reason mentioned above. But you are welcome to add raisins or craisins (yick) if you so desire, after the granola has cooled. I also adjusted a few of the ingredient amounts, though nothing major. Anyway, I quite liked the finished product. Very nutty and oaty. Tasty! I will c...

I tried this recipe for the first time this morning, and I'm hooked! The oatmeal mixture is incredibly easy to make, and you can store it in the fridge or freezer to use whenever the mood strikes you. Once you have the mix, all you need to do is just add an egg and a cup of buttermilk, and you're ready to go! Also, a friend recommended a delicious variation on this recipe. Try adding a mashed ripened banana along with the buttermilk and egg, before you cook the pancakes. That's the variation I'm most fond of currently. Or I've also made blueberry pancakes by tossing in fresh blueberries, when I've had some on hand. One other note. Since a single batch of this pancake batter makes more pancakes than I can eat at one sitting, I usually cook all the pancakes up and then freeze the extras. That way, when I want a quick breakfast, I just pull a few pancakes out of the freezer, microwave them till they are warm, and add the butter and syrup. Very yummy and so easy. Th...
