When determining what type of cookies I wanted to make, I decided that they shouldn't all be chocolate based cookies. I get stuck in a rut at times, as most people love chocolate, so that always seems the way to go. This is weird because my favorite cookie has always been oatmeal raisin cookies - not a chocolate variety (though I am a fan). Not to mention, not everyone can have chocolate (sad!), a

You don't need butter or flour to make soup thick and creamy. Instead, stir in a cupful of rolled oats or quick oats, and cook for 20 minutes or more. Then whirl a hand blender in the pot to make the soup smooth and extra creamy. Try this in the delicious recipes below, or invent your own.Read More...

Who knew that oatmeal could be so sinfully sexy? I found my inspiration this past Sunday while having breakfast at Catal in Downtown Disney. They served creamy irish-cut oats with fresh fruit in a bowl, then sprinkled with sugar and gave it a quick torching. The effect is similar to creme brulee and it struck me as a such a wonderful way to splurge on breakfast while keeping somewhat healthy.

A couple of years ago I was watching an Oprah show on healthy eating, where steel cut oatmeal was featured as one of Oprah's favorite healthy breakfasts. It was the first time I had ever heard of steel cut oatmeal, as I had always eaten the more common flaky kind of oats.

This photo is of that actual vacation.... When I was 25 years old I became the mother of three. My daughter had just turned 5 the day before I went into labor with my third child. My son was 3.

Welcome to another exciting entry in Steve Cooks, where I work on recipes related to general health and fitness. Yesterday, I went back into the lab... err... kitchen for yet another attempt at a high energy, protein bar. To recap, I'm trying to make a bar that is relatively low on carbs, very low in fat and high in protein. I am not in any way advocating a low carb diet. This is less like the South Beach and more of... let's call it the South King County Diet. Down here in South King County, we like carbs. Of course, most of those carbs are from onion rings, steak fries and beer, but what are you gonna do?I am trying to create something that is relatively cheap to make, holds well in the fridge (at least 2 weeks), tastes pretty good and has a decent, palatable texture. So, I'm avoiding in

Do you remember when you were a kid and your mother would grab that big ass box of Quaker Oats - you know the one that you never really knew how long it had been there?  As you watched her heat up water on the stove and screw off the top of the old fashioned oatmeal container you would dread what was coming.  That was then… and boy have things changed!  Instant oatmeal came about, and finally we tossed those large jugs of oats out and started making breakfast more convenient.  However, with instant oatmeal came high calories and lots of sugar.  But man, was it good!  My personal favorite was the Maple and Brown Sugar… I could eat 3 packages at once!  And at 150 calories per package it sure added up.  Not to mention the 31 grams of carbs which is

Part of being healthy is eating well. Part of being alive in the world right now is having less time to prepare meals. Stupid world.As I mentioned in my first installment of Steve Cooks, I'm looking for good, healthy alternatives to store bought protein bars. I started with a reasonably good recipe, but wasn't happy with the taste. It was too sweet for me, and a little bland. Not bad, by any means, but not great. So, I'm working on other recipes.This go around, I started with a recipe from the UK. A very nice lady named Lou who trains in Kung Fu and more recently MMA posted her recipe for flapjacks. Now, here's the funny part. Brits don't speak English either. Turns out, if you've spent any amount of time corresponding with Brits, they talk funny, and any comments they make abou

Price: $5.99 CADI’ve been recently trying to peel myself away from the traditional bar soaps and to the body wash + loofa system, and I picked this one up during a Shopper’s Drug Mart sale. While contemplating which product to try out, this one caught my eye because it was for "Extra dry skin", which I have.St. Ives states that their oatmeal and shea butter body wash is "made with two of nature’s BEST ingredients.

Specially formulated for extra-dry skin".To Purr About:- nice scent that is not overpowering - reminds me of almonds- reasonable priceClaws Out:- I didn’t find my skin extra moisturized aft

Photo courtesy of you can count on me Today’s feature is oats. I love to start my morning with a bowl of oatmeal. It is comforting and warms the inside on a cool morning, and it smells delicious. I like mine with a little maple and brown sugar. Maple and oatmeal are a common combination, so much so, that Vermont leads the U.S. in per capita consumption of cooked oatmeal cereal. Oats have a sweet flavor that makes them a favorite for breakfast cereals. Unique among grains, oats almost never have their bran and germ removed in processing. So if you see oats or oat flour on the label, relax: you're virtually guaranteed to be getting whole grain. In the US, most oats are steamed and flattened to produce "old-fashioned" or regular oats, quick oats, and instant oats. The more oats are flatte

I came up with my perfect breakfast about 5 years ago because I needed a healthy, athlete's breakfast (good carbohydrate and protein). It's oatmeal with an egg over-easy (made in a non-stick pan with Pam so I don't add fat) on top, generously seasoned with salt and pepper. This may seem odd to you since most people have oatmeal with honey, cinnamon apples, or something sweet. But consider it a new take on the Chinese breakfast, congee, which is a savory rice porridge. If I call it fusion food, will you eat it?I love runny egg yolk. It is nature's ready made sauce that coats anything it touches. It's rich and fatty yet having just one egg controls the amount. Oatmeal has that wonderful chewy starchiness while being high in fiber. This savory oatmeal breakfast became a staple for me when I n

I am very blessed to live in a "real" neighborhood where I actually know and interact with my neighbors. We email and call each other often. We also hang out together on occasion! One such occasion happened last week when we had a rare occurrence of a moon eclipse.James, Donna, and their son came to hang out with us in our back yard to watch this spectacular event. While it was rather cloudy for most of the show, we did get a few amazing glimpses of the extraordinary celestial experience!Afterwards we went to the kitchen for some warm oatmeal snack cookies and homemade hot chocolate (my favorite frugal recipe!). Michael asked why I didn't make his favorite chocolate chip cookies, he seems to think those are the only permissible cookies in our house. But these cookies are "grown-up" cookies

8 servings, 1 cup eachHere is an easy way to serve a crowd a hearty breakfast before facing the elements for a day of winter sports. You can assemble it in the slow cooker in the evening and wake up to a bowl of hot, nourishing oatmeal. The slow cooker eliminates the need for constant stirring and ensures an exceptionally creamy consistency. It is important to use steel-cut oats; old-fashioned oats become too soft during slow-cooking.Ingredients : 8 cups water2 cups steel-cut oats (see Tip)1/3 cup dried cranberries1/3 cup dried apricots, chopped1/4 teaspoon salt, or to tasteCombine water, oats, dried cranberries, dried apricots and salt in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.

I've been eating a lot of dessert lately so I wanted something healthier. I was bringing it to a friend's dinner so I still wanted it to meet expectations. I found a recipe for Chocolate Oatmeal Cake and altered it to lessen the fat and sugar.For the cake: I changed the half cup of margarine to 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. I reduced the white sugar to half a cup and the brown sugar to half a cup.For the frosting: I cut the amount of confectioner's sugar in half to 2 cups.If you're a perfectionist, I recommend cutting off the edges because they get a little crispy. The rest of the cake is lovely and moist. All of my friends really enjoyed it.

This week has been all about food, baking and making no apologies for indulging. At any given minute during the last two days, you could have caught me with either a spatula or a cookie sheet in hand. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, no surprise since it is almost synonymous with food. I have no shortage of blessings and since I make a huge effort to be grateful on a daily basis, I don't get too into going around the table announcing my most cherished feelings of gratitude. Most of the time, that which I am truly grateful is extremely personal and I would rather share it with a very close friend or family member on a random day over a cup of tea and french Madeline's. But generally speaking, I'm with many others in celebrating this day and being grateful for family, friends and health. In case I don't get to post again until after Thursday, I hope that those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving have a happy and safe one. Since I don't have a picture to go with this post, let me s

If you are one of those who loves oatmeal, you can also consider wearing it as a form of acne treatment. when combined with warm water, you find a thick paste that can be applied to pimples on your face. Leave it on for about 10 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.   Many people use facial masks as their homemade acne treatments. Though there are many commercial products that can be used for homemade acne treatment, it is sometimes better and healthier to have natural facial masks.   Make a mask of grated apples and about 4 tablespoons of honey. Apply this facial mask for about 10 minutes. Make sure the apple is grated to a pulp, before you apply honey.   Those who don't like apples and honey should try a combination of egg white, lemon juice and witch hazel. You have to beat the egg white till its stiff, and add a few drops of witch hazel and lemon juice to it. wear this mask for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.   Though these are all effective hom

I have a rotten time remembering what kind of beer I like. I got a brief beer lesson today at lunch… hops make the beer more bitter… so a hoppy beer is probably a bitter beer. I don’t really like my beer too bitter, but a little isn’t bad. So we went to Red Rock for lunch today and I had their Oatmeal Stout. It was so yummy, I had two! And I could feel it going back to work. Not enough to hurt my work, of course. And it’s so nice to be able to work at a job where I can do that. Of course I’m careful, but I can hold my beer just fine thank you! He he okay sometimes not. But today I did just a fine job and am doing well. It’s even worn off already. I just wonder… okay I don’t want to know, how many calories each of them had. I ate a salad for the meal, though! My weight was 158.2 this morning, so it is, slowly, going down.

You know you are really nutty about cooking when your kitchen looks as if all the cabinets have exploded dirty dishes, and there is absolutely no counter space surviving, and yet, you MUST make a batch of brownies...If you have a fairy dishwasher you can lend me, I would appreciate it! Michael and I spent last weekend with a dear friend of ours named Betty. When I graduated from college and got my first "real" job, I rented a room from Betty. Betty is in her early 70's and she's one of the spunkiest women I know... she wears cool jeans, travels the world, and has never met a stranger! Betty knows how to truly live.

I was just thinking this morning about the faithfulness of our God. It can almost become a cliche, but it's the truth... He is faithful.God has done so much for Hannah and I. And just as David said, we have never seen the righteous forsaken as well (Psalm 37:25). And it's so amazing how He delights in the very details of our lives (Psalm 37:23).Just last week... pretty much in the same conversation, Hannah was talking about how she'd like some oatmeal (we normally don't keep that in the house)... and then a few sentences later she mentioned how we needed to get a cake for Leah's birthday.THE NEXT DAY an awesome lady from our church brought to us 5 bags of groceries... and guess what was in one of the bags? A box of oatmeal... and a birthday cake mix with icing. HELLO.So here's a shout out to You Father, THANKS for Your faithfulness and Your delighting in our lives.He is simply amazing. :)Since this is my second blog post today... you'll have to see below for the quote of the day

Today is day four of the Reject Pantry Project, and I went for the can of whole cranberry sauce. I found a recipe for Oatmeal Cranberry Squares on Cooks.com. They are very easy to make, and while I found them right on the edge of cloyingly sweet, everyone else liked them. Bottom line: I used up a WHOLE Reject Pantry Item, and I made something that tasted pretty good. I might be inclined to leave out the pineapple and/or add some orange zest to the filling mixture next time, for a little more complexity. OATMEAL CRANBERRY SQUARES (from Cooks.com) FILLING: 1 (#1) can whole cranberry sauce 1/2 c. crushed pineapple, drained 1/4 tsp. salt Combine all ingredients for filling. TOPPING: 1 1/2 c. quick oatmeal 1 1/2 c. flour 1 c. brown sugar, packed 3/4 c. butter 1/4 tsp. soda 1/8 tsp. salt Crumble remaining ingredients. Place half of crumbs in an 8 x 10 (or similar size) greased pan. Spread with filling and pat on remaining crumbs. Bake 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Cool and cut into bars.

Wading through comments over at Nutritious Junk, a funky and happening blog by a foodie who likes to dish and review all types of well…”nutritious junk”, was the mention of an organic oatmeal with good specs on calories, protein, and taste. Dr. McDougall’s Organic and Vegan Oatmeal is USDA certified organic and contains no artificial sweeteners or refined sugar, is made with organic rolled oats and pure maple sugar. Sounds yummy, i do like oatmeal, and try to have several times a week for breakfast or even an afternoon delight. Maple is my favorite flavor for oatmeal, so this is right up my alley, maybe for you too. Check out the organic oatmeal details at Amazon.

I’m not sure that naming your food product ‘Monkey Brains’ is the best marketing strategy, but I suppose it did attract my attention. I don’t even like oatmeal that much, but surprisingly I kind of want to try this. Maybe the fruity flavors will make oatmeal taste good, which is probably better than the half pound of brown sugar or cup of syrup I usually have to pour in. We’ll see how I enjoy my free sample of Monkey Brains. (Look for the link on the bottom right.) If anything I’ll put to good use the free stickers that those brains come along with.

This recipe is similar to the traditional O'Henry bars that you and I grew up loving. I decided to try it because the chocolate layer is inbetween the oats, making it more portable and less messy. I was actually able to put one in a baggie and send it in a cold lunch with my daughter on a field trip and not have to worry about chocolate smearing all over the plastic nor her fingers. Next time

People always ask me about oatmeal pancakes - a nutritious meal that actually tastes good, too. There is more than one way to make them oatmeal pancakes, and the video will show you how I make mine (see video).   The reason I eat oatmeal pancakes is because I have to stay lean which requires eating foods high in protein, low in fat, and with good carbohydrates (to give me energy).  I also find them quite convenient, as I can eat them when I'm on the go without utensils.

Wet Oatmeal Kisses “The baby is teething; the children are fighting. My husband just called and said to eat dinner without him.” One of these days you’ll shout; “Why don’t you grow up and act your age!” and they will. Or “you guys go outside and find yourselves something to do... and don’t slam the door.” and they won’t. You’ll straighten up their rooms neat and tidy... bumper

Being diabetic means tossing out the packaged cookies that are not protein loaded. So, I had to come up with a recipe for Oatmeal Raisin cookies that are balanced protein and carb. They have 10 gm fat per cookie, but that is fine, because the fat comes from coconut flour and nuts and eggs. These are all natural fats, not transfats, and help make cell walls permeable again for insulin and glucose to get inside cells. They taste great, too!
