Peachy Baked Oatmeal

-

After a very long, tiring day this past Saturday I was hungry for a little comfort food that might also pass for reasonably healthy so I baked a little bit of this to take my make me forget that my feet were tired from standing in the kitchen all day. If you're wondering what I was doing I was canning salsa. Not my favorite thing to do but we enjoy it throughout the winter so...


The oatmeal is totally yummy by itself but I like to also add fruit sometimes. The peaches were a little tart but that was okay I didn't want to overload the sugar, there is enough in it the way it is! So far I've tried it with apples and blueberries as well. You can go here for those recipes. While they are all tasty I think the blueberries are my favourite fruit to add.

½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1½ cups oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
cinnamon
nutmeg

Cream butter and sugar together, then add the egg. Add the baking powder, salt, and spices.



 Then add the milk and oats alternately beginning and ending with oats.

Place peeled, sliced peaches and a little sugar in a small baking dish that is sprayed with non stick spray.


Cover with oatmeal and bake @ 350° for 35-40 minutes.



 Enjoy with milk or ice cream like I did even though I was concerned about the sugar. Doesn't really make sense unless you've had a long day doing something ...well never mind!☺


It hit the spot!

Enjoy and Be Blessed!

    This is so pretty in the round pan! My family loves baked oatmeal, but mine rarely looks this cute. I love the ice cream idea. I'm going to save some to do that with next time I make it!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
