Granola

Now and then I post a recipe on this site instead of Martha’s Kitchen Korner and Martha’s Recipes ? because this recipe will be going to Mary Kennedy, Author of Dead Air.? Mary sends goodie packages to a unit in Iraq.? And for the month of April she will be sending 20 lbs. in honor of Carolyn Hart’s 20th book Laughed ‘Til He Died.? Mary and Carolyn are calling their endeavor Hart to Heart and I for one think it’s a wonderful act of love.? So, here is my Granola recipe that you too can enjoy.? (If you would like to correspond with this unit, go to Facebook and type in Support the 389th Regiment.? I’m sure they would love to hear from you.? And while there, make sure you check out their pictures.) 4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, uncooked 1/3 cup chopped nuts 1 cup coconut 2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. allspice 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup cranberry juice 1 pkg (6 oz.) cranberries & raisin mix Preheat oven to 350 degrees.? Combine oats, nuts, coconut, spices and salt in a large bowl.? In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup and cranberry juice.? Pour over oat mixture and stir to coat thoroughly.? Spread in an even layer on a VERY LARGE baking dish or 2 large baking dishes (you want the layer to be as thin as possible.)? Bake 30-40 minutes or until golden brown, stirring 2-3 times during baking time.? Let cool and add raisins and cranberries.? You can change your granola by adding about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips while it’s still hot (that’s what I’ve done in the picture above).? You can mix in salted nuts for a salty/sweet taste.? Use orange or apple juice instead of cranberry.? Use yogurt covered raisins or instead of maple syrup use honey.

Blond Brownies (2 recipes)

(brownie on left is recipe #1, center and right brownie is recipe #2 with no almonds added to center brownie) Notes – Mary Kennedy sends goodies to the troops every month.? She put in a request for me to work up some Blond Brownies that would ship well.? The first recipe Blond Brownies #1 are wonderful but I don’t think they will ship very well.? I don’t think the cream cheese would travel very well.? The recipe for Blond Brownies #2 is also wonderful and there should be no problem with shipping.? This one can easily have taste changes.? The chips can be changed to white chocolate, peanut butter and even chocolate.? The nuts can be changed to pecans or

Banana Nut Cake

This cake is PERFECT as it is but if you find you must make a change or two you might add some spices such as allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon or a mix of your favorite flavors.? You can use pecans or walnuts, I used pecans.? You can make the cake in a 13 x 9 baking pan instead of a tube pan.? Something else I like to do is apply half of the icing while the cake is still hot, poking holes in the cake allowing some of the icing to run inside.? I then add the rest of the icing after the cake cools.? If you make yours in a baking pan you can easily do this but remember to adjust your cooking time according to your pan.

Popcorn Cake

This recipe came from my wonderful friend Lillian. When making this I found I had no M and M’s but I did have a package of chocolate coated walnuts and I also had some very finely chopped walnuts so I used these instead of the M and M’s and peanuts. Since the walnuts were finely chopped I cut the amount to 1/4 cup. I also used a spring form pan sprayed with non-stick spray instead of the angel food pan. This recipe has so many possibilities. You can throw in some coconut, use almonds (whole or slivers), use salted mixed nuts, add raisins or dried cranberries. Just use your imagination. This is a cake that is very kid friendly so make sure the kids help with this creation. Also, this is a recipe that I’ll be sending to Mary Kennedy, Author of Dead Air. Mary sends goodies to the troops each month and this “Popcorn Cake” should keep very well. To view the full recipe go to Martha’s Recipes

Tuna Casserole

Cream Cheese Apple Pie

I found the original version of this recipe online. When I printed a copy to use for making, the recipe name and the person who submitted didn’t print with the recipe. I did make a couple of changes which included using brown sugar only in the topping, I added a little more almond extract than the original recipe called for. I diced the apples instead of cutting them into slices. And I increased the amount of almond slivers. This turned out to be a very tasty recipe.

Strawberry Cheesecake – No Bake – PULLED

This one will be included in my new cookbook Think With Your Taste Buds I normally like my cheese cake with no fruit but this is really good. I’ve experimented with this recipe and it easy to change the flavor any time of the year simply by omitting the glaze and fresh fruit and using a can of pie filling. You can make blueberry, apple and even lemon. Follow your taste.
