Crockpot oatmeal

By Anonymous -
My friend Tara sent me this recipe a long time ago. I'm finally going to try it this weekend.

2 C milk
1/4 C brown sugar
1 T butter, melted
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C old-fashioned oats
1 C chopped apple
1/2 C raisins or dates
1/2 C chopped walnuts or sliced almonds

Makes 4 cups (6-8 servings)

Grease the inside of crockpot. Put ingredients inside crockpot and mix well, cover and turn on low heat. Cook overnight or 8-9 hours.
This keeps well in the fridge in a tupperware, and can be reheated again. Just add milk if it starts to thicken too much.
I have changed the ingredients up as well, to coincide with what I happen to have on hand.

I am so making this tomorrow. The crockpot and oatmeal are, like, my two favorite things in the entire world. :)

I made this, and it was very good. However, I think the cooking time is WAY too long. I had it on low, and when I looked at it at 5 hours it looked completely done. I left it on longer because of the instructions, and at 6 hours th edges were burned and I had to soak the crockpot for ages to get it clean.

Hrm. We made it and I didn't have that problem...I did use old fashioned (not quick cooking) oats, though, because that's what I had in the house. Maybe that made a difference?

I don't know. Maybe? Gwen said hers burned, too, but I don't know what kind of oats she used....

ok. I made this recipe again and I used old fashioned, not quick-cooking oats, and it did not burn like the first time.

So, I think the recipe should be for old-fashioned oats, or else reduce the cooking time drastically.

It was much better the second time around. :)

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
