Amish Baked Oatmeal

February 18, 2008 at 2:16 am · Filed under breakfasts

This is adapted to be gfcf, I found original recipe on the blog A Path Made Straight.

1/3 cup butter (I use a gfcf margarine or coconut oil)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (gf)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk plus 2 tablespoons (use your favorite substitute; soy, almond, rice)
3 cups whole oats (gf)
1/4 cup of flax meal
1/4 cup of millet seed

Melt butter and set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs well, then add brown sugar, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well until there there no lumps.

Whisk in butter and milk, then add oats, flax meal and millet.

Stir well, and pour into a greased 8×8 baking dish. Refrigerate overnight.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30-35 minutes, or until set in the middle. Serve hot! (I double this for leftovers – it’s even better two or three days later! – so if you would like to as well, use a 9×13 baking dish, and the cooking time is the same.)

African Chicken Crockpot Stew

February 4, 2008 at 10:11 pm · Filed under crockpot, main course, soups

<br>1 lb. boneless skinless chicken, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice
2 Tb. oil
15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. chicken stock
1/4 c. natural peanut butter
2 yams, peeled and cut into chunks
2 Tb. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. dried parsley ( I used fresh because I had it on hand)

Fry vegetables and spices in the oil until vegetables are tender and spices are fragrant (about 3 minutes). Add chicken, cook until golden brown. Add to crock pot. Add stock, tomatoes and Peanut Butter. Cook 4-5 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low.

I made rice to go with this, but afterwards thought that cornbread would have been the better choice.  I will do that next time.  I was a bit leery about making this because of all the fragrant spices, I was afraid it might taste like a  pie or something, but it is really delicious.  I am eating it right now, yum!
