Apple Pear Cobbler

By Anonymous -
The former co-worker I got this recipe from labeled this a "breakfast cobbler" but I never seem to get my act together in time to put it in the slow cooker before I go to bed. And honestly, I've never seen any reason not to have this for dessert. Maybe with some vanilla ice cream.

3 apples
3 pears
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/3 c. apple cider
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. apple pie spice
2 Tbsp. butter
3 c. granola

Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Peel, core and slice the apples and pears into eighths. Put the prepared fruit into the crock pot.
In a jar with a tight fitting lid put the brown sugar, flour, lemon
juice, apple cider, and spices. Put the lid on the jar and shake the jar vigorously until there are no more lumps. Pour over fruit and stir to coat.
Dot the tops of apples and pears with 2 Tbsp. of butter. Spread the granola evenly over the fruit.
Cover, and cook on low 6-8 hours.
Turn off slow cooker, remove lid, and allow to cool 10 minutes before serving

This sounded so good that I was forced to put it in the slow cooker immediately tonight. I halved it, because we only had one sad pear and a few apples. It already smells amazing, and I think the "breakfast cobbler" thing is probably just a justification for eating it in the morning...

... and a quick note: Watch the temperature and burning potential on this one. I'm not sure if it's because I halved the recipe or if it's because my crockpot tends to run hot, but I woke up at 4:30 a.m. thinking something smelled like it was burning, and it was the fruit. Next time, I'd probably put this on high for four hours only.

Fortunately, it was only the edges that were charred and the rest of this was DELICIOUS -- it turned mediocre fruit and not-exciting granola into something very delicious with yogurt on top.

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.
