French toast oatmeal

By Anonymous
More oatmeal!
This is the second of the two oatmeal recipes here (the first being the banana nut oatmeal that I made a couple of weeks ago and keep eating like an obsessed woman).
I've adapted it for a few things -- first of which being the microwave, per Alissa's suggestion.

1/2 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1/2 c. milk
1/2-1/3 cup water
3 teaspoons maple syrup, separated
1 1/2 tablespoons raisins, separated
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
A few shakes cinnamon
A few dashes Kosher salt

In a bowl, combine oatmeal, milk, water, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon raisins, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Heat in microwave for 5 minutes at 50 percent.
Top with remaining raisins. Drizzle with remaining teaspoon syrup.

    One note about microwaving it - I find that I have to use a really big bowl or else it overflows. Otherwise, it's a really easy way to make it. :)

    Yes, I discovered that. :) My microwave finally got the cleaning it needed, though.

    Oh no! Sorry - I really should have mentioned that earlier. I don't think about it much because once I found the right bowl for it, I just always make it in that bowl (the "oatmeal bowl" as it is now known) and I forgot to mention that it can be a big, messy problem. I do kind of enjoy the way the oatmeal grows and bubbles and falls like a wave when it cooks, though. :)

    Oh, yes, that has happened to me! Oops. I have to say, tho, as good as that method for making oatmeal is, nothing beats having it cook overnight in a crock pot. Now that is some good eats.

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...

tomato & corn cobbler

By gwen
This is a delicious late summer dinner , and a one-pot meal at that, if you're willing to turn on your oven. I tweaked a lot of the amounts in the original recipe — the biscuits get really puffy and there weren't enough veggies the way it was written imo. Also for the record, I've tried adding zucchini to this but I don't recommend. INGREDIENTS    3 pints  cherry tomatoes, not cut, any kind (you can also chop big tomatoes in here but take out the pulp and seeds so it doesn't get too watery) 6   ears' worth of fresh corn kernels 1   bunch green onions whites and greens, chopped handful of fresh basil, chopped For the biscuits: 1½   cups  AP  flour 2 1/2   teaspoons   baking powder 3/4   cup   shredded cheddar or swiss cheese, or probably anything a little sharp is fine 3/4   cup  milk with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice (recipe calls for  buttermilk but I haven't been able to tell a difference) ⅓   cup ...
