Oatmeal Cookies with Blueberries and Walnuts

By -
Adapted from the Wood Prairie Farm website (and just about the most poorly written cookie recipe ever).

2 C whole wheat flour
1 t baking powder
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t soda
1/2 t salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 C white sugar
1 C dark brown sugar
1 T light corn syrup, optional*
2 large eggs
1 t vanilla extract
3 C old fashioned (rolled) oats--do NOT use instant
1 C dried blueberries
1 C chopped lightly toasted walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, leaveners, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl, whisk together and set aside. In your stand mixer, beat butter and sugars until lighter in color and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, corn syrup (if using) and then vanilla. Slowly add in flour mixture and be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl and beater to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed before adding the remaining ingredients. Add oats, berries and walnuts and stir on slow just until combined--the blueberries can be a bit fragile so be careful. If using a small cookie scoop, you'll want to bake them for 10-12 minutes and be sure to leave 1" of space between each cookie b/c they will spread a little. If making larger cookies, adjust time accordingly. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.

*The addition of corn syrup will lend the cookies a chewier texture and helps if you want to store them for a while and/or ship them by mail.

I like the sound of that combo - oatmeal, bbrries & walnuts. I also have all three in the house this week. Hmmm...yay!

Blueberries this summer have tasted like flowers. (a good thing)

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

Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast Recipe

By Alissa -
from: Simply Recipes ok, this recipe sounds a little involved... and it is, but just a little. It really wasn't that bad, and the results were super fantastic. I should have taken a picture after I made the first slice. It was definitely an impressive holiday-worthy dish. Check out the original post here for pictures of the whole butterflying process. It really was not difficult. I didn't have a few of the ingredients, so my substitutions are in parentheses. Also, I was thinking you might be able to do this with a boneless turkey breast as well, if you're not a pork eater. Filling 1 cup apple cider 1/2 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1 large shallot, peeled, thinly sliced (I used a yellow onion) 1 1/2 cups dried apples (packed) (I used 2 Granny Smith apples, chopped) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger 1 Tbsp yellow mustard seeds (I stirred in a little dijon mustard instead) 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice (I used cinnamon and
