Fruit and Oatmeal Bake

Recipe from Sarah Morley

I’ve made this with blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and apples. I reheat it for about 45-60 seconds and put light whipped cream on top.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of quick oats

¼ cup steel cut oats

¼ cup oat bran

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup splenda (my change to the recipe, use regular sugar if you like, but add calories accordingly)

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup nonfat milk

2 eggs

¾ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh fruit

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately (except the fruit). Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix well. Bake in greased 9x13 inch pan at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Mix in fruit and bake 20 minutes longer. Cut into squares and enjoy!

German Pancakes

Recipe from Sharen Stech

1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups of milk
3/4 cup unsifted flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the butter in a 9-inch greased pie plate and bake five minutes or until the butter melts and bubbles. Adjust the heat to 450 degrees.
Place the eggs, flour, sugar, milk, and salt into a blender and mix on medium speed until smooth.
Remove the pie plate from the oven and immediately pour in all of the egg mixture. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees. Lower the heat to 350 degrees and bake 8-10 more minutes or until the edges puff and are browned. A well will form in the middle.

Hard-Boiled Eggs

I know, so easy right! Well yes, but when it's been awhile since you've made them you need a little reminder! So I wanted it handy on here.

Unshelled eggs
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp Vinegar

Put eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add salt and vinegar. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Put the pan under cold water until full of cold water. To remove the egg shell, tap the egg against a hard surface and roll it between your hands until the shell is shattered, then peel shell off.
