Seedy Oat Crackers

That's a lot of seeds
I've been wanting to make these for a while. First I didn't have the chia and sunflower seeds. Then I foolishly assumed I had raw pumpkin seeds in the cabinet - NOT. So it took a little while to finally get them done. They were worth the wait.

Seedy Oat Crackers (Adpated from BonAppetit)

1 c old fashioned oats
3/4 c pumpkin seeds (raw)
1/3 c sunflower seeds (raw)
1/3 c sesame seeds
3T chia seeds
3T poppy seeds
3T flaxseed
1t salt (kosher)
4t canola oil
2T maple syrup
3/4 c water

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and toss to coat. Let sit 10 minutes. Form a ball (mine wasn't much of a ball). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place another sheet of parchment on top. Roll out to about 1/8" thick. Remove top layer of parchment and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 until the edges are browned. Remove from oven and carefully turn cracker over. I found it easier to flip it onto another baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until edges are browned. Let cool on baking sheet. Break into pieces and serve. Store in air-tight container.
Don't worry about the shape


I misread the recipe and put 1T of salt - quite a difference. I think because everything else was tablespoons, I just went with it. They were a little salty but not to the point where you couldn't eat them. Just to the point of oh - those are a tad salty.

Waffled Hash Browns

I'm not that much of a fan of one-trick ponies taking up real estate in my kitchen. I know that a waffle iron can be classified as that, but now I can rationalize that it's not. Who knew you could make hash browns in it? Waffled Hash Browns (Adapted from Cooking Light ) 1 1/2 lb russet potato (shredded) salt/pepper to taste 1/4 t garlic powder 1 1/2T butter, melted Preheat waffle iron. Squeeze liquid out of potatoes by blotting between two paper towels. Toss potatoes, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Brush both sides of the waffle iron with butter. Spread potatoes evenly on waffle iron. Close and cook 2 minutes. Press iron closed completely and cook about 12 minutes or until golden brown. I did not feel that they browned as nicely as in the picture on the original recipe, but then again I don't have a food stylist do I? The drawback of this recipe is that you have to share this. Since they take about 15 minutes, it's a little difficult to make a second one...

Citrus Shortcake

In my mind, this cake is sort of a blank slate. The cornmeal gives it a little crunch but it is quite versatile. I drizzled a citrus icing on it this time around. I think there are many other things that you could do. You could macerate some berries in sugar and top the cake with them. I think some heated jam (orange, strawberry, or raspberry) drizzled over would be nice. I scoop of ice cream never hurt anyone. A dollop of whip cream never did either. I think you get the idea. Citrus Shortcake (Adapted from Cooking Light circa 2010) 3/4 c sugar 1/4 cup butter 2 eggs 1 T orange rind, grated 2T fresh OJ 1/2 t vanilla 1 c flour 2T cornmeal 3/4 t baking powder 1/2 t baking soda 1/4 t salt 2/3 c buttermilk Grease a 9" square pan set aside. Cream butter and sugar for 5 minutes in a mixer.  Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl). Set aside. Add eggs one a time to butter mixture; beating well after ...

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...
