This was my first recipe (found it at allrecipes.com), taking it slow...<br /><br />PREP TIME<br />15 Min<br /><br />COOK TIME<br />15 Min<br /><br />Original recipe yield 12 pancakes<br /><br />1 cup uncooked rolled oats<br />1 cup whole wheat flour<br />3/4 cup all-purpose flour<br />1/4 cup brown sugar<br />2 tablespoons dry milk powder<br />2 teaspoons baking powder<br />1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1 egg<br />2 cups milk<br />2 tablespoons vegetable oil<br />1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />1 banana, mashed<br /><br />DIRECTIONS<br />Place the rolled oats into the jar of a blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour. Whisk together the blended oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, dry milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.<br />Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.<br />Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.<br /><br />I made it exactly as is (except I made 1/2 banana and 1/2 chocolate chip because Glen hates bananas). I really liked the banana batch!! Really easy and yummy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802190668707985555.post-59341465627739195102009-07-18T20:52:00.000-07:002009-07-18T20:55:41.507-07:00AwEsOmE French Bread Recipe!!!While browsing the other night I found this recipe and thought it sounded good. Tonight I tried it and it turned out sooooo good!!! Go <a href="http://dealstomeals.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post_09.html">HERE</a> and check it out. There was quite a few recipes that looked good but this is all I've tested so far. Let me know if you try something else!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802190668707985555.post-50661274299042942112009-03-06T21:58:00.000-08:002009-03-06T22:04:49.715-08:00Chimichangas/Burritos??Lately I've been in the mood to cook ahead & freeze. In my searching I found this <a href="http://www.bakingeek.com/">blog</a> with this recipe. This is almost like burritos that I make that are a family fave, but I've never thought of freezing them because they don't last long enough. We tried these tonight and it was really easy, good & just the single batch was enough for dinner tonight and freeze enough for another meal :).<br /><br />1 lb. of cooked hamburger<br />16 oz. of Salsa1<br />16oz can of Refried<br />package of taco seasoning mix<br />16- 8" flour tortillas<br />4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese<br /><br />First, in a pan add beef, salsa beans and taco seasoning. Cook until heated thoroughly, stirring often. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eZfqaSsF1go/SRp9DeKpF9I/AAAAAAAABKA/bD5TITMrC6I/s1600-h/IMG_3115.JPG"></a>Next, spray a non-stick skillet and then heat on medium-low heat. One at a time, put the tortillas in the skillet, heating for about 30 seconds on each side. (I did this, but don't know if I'd do it again, I think it makes them crunchy & I'm not a big fan?)<br /><br />Once the shells are heated, place each of them on their own individual small square of tin foil. Next add some of the meat mixture in the middle. Top with a small amount of cheese.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eZfqaSsF1go/SRp9tdHLGnI/AAAAAAAABKI/HktUG-9LfiM/s1600-h/IMG_3120.JPG"></a>Then, fold in the sides and the ends to basically seal the meat/cheese mixture inside. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eZfqaSsF1go/SRp-T74gHOI/AAAAAAAABKQ/xk9D5UyzKI0/s1600-h/IMG_3121.JPG"></a>Place the folded tortilla at the end of the tin foil and roll it up in the tin foil, folding over each end. Place each of these individual chimichangas into one large Ziploc bag that's dated and labeled. You should be able to get at least 16 chimichangas out of the recipe. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eZfqaSsF1go/SRp-tBYsTuI/AAAAAAAABKY/58_PY_m8o60/s1600-h/IMG_3122.JPG"></a><br /><br />When you are ready to eat these, throw them on a cookie sheet in the tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. No need to thaw them in advance.<br /><br />(I LOVE meals that you can just throw in the oven with NO THAWING.. we all have days where we forget about dinner until 5oclock.. That's to late for thawing)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802190668707985555.post-21378335963375873452009-02-20T07:40:00.000-08:002009-02-20T07:44:51.030-08:00New RecipesHi everyone,<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to try to start posting at least one recipe a week on this blog that includes ingredients that go on sale that week (using <a href="http://grocerysmarts.com/nevada/lists/splashg89cah.php">Grocery Smarts</a>) and my <a href="http://www.thecouponclass.blogspot.com/">coupon blog</a>.

I kind of mixed a few recipes, rigged this up and it turned out pretty good-the kids polished off every last crumb!<br />I just made the pizza recipe on this blog, from MIchelle I think. When it was done rising I divided it into two-put first half on greased cookie sheet. Topped with pizza sauce, pepperoni and moz. cheese. Then I took the other half and covered it (ok well, the recipe that I got the idea from was for refrigerated pizza dough, didn't have that so i improvised) Now, I would suggest either using the ref. stuff or doubling this batch, or not trying to make it cover the whole pan-I couldn't do it at least, not that that means much. Anywho.. then I cute like 3 rectangles and then cut them into triangles, kinda closed them down and sprinkled with parm. cheese. Bake 15-19 minutes at 400 degrees.. Anyways, let me know if anyone tries this and how it worked out?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6802190668707985555.post-77884080999696021732008-04-26T14:04:00.000-07:002008-04-26T14:08:05.406-07:00Berry Blend1/4 c. milk<br />6 Tbsp honey<br />80z cream cheese<br />2 cups each frozen blueberries and rasberries<br /><br />Blend first 3 ingredients until well blended; then add fruit and blend.<br />This is really YUMMY!!
