Apple-Oatmeal "Cobblidge"


Apple-Oatmeal “Cobblidge”

*******
Serves 1
This is like a cobbler, yet also like porridge, so I call it “cobblidge”.
 I often shoot from the hip and make whatever sounds good to me without a recipe. I described this oatmeal I’d made to a friend and she wanted the recipe.  I tried to figure out the quantities for her and include them here. If it’s fall or winter go with the whole tablespoon of ghee; it’s very nourishing for this time of year.

For each serving:
1 apple, organic, quartered (peeled or not) and cut into 1-inch chunks
Water OR herbal tea (chamomile is good with this)
¼ to ½ tsp cinnamon 
salt to taste
¼ tsp minced fresh ginger
*
1/3 C old-fashioned rolled oats (the same as two handfuls)
½ to 1 TBL ghee (clarified butter), or coconut oil

  1. Into a small saucepan add cut up apple, about ½-inch of water or herbal tea , cinnamon, salt, and ginger. Bring water to a boil, then lower heat and cover pan with lid. Simmer for a few minutes until apples are soft. Maybe about 4 minutes.
  2. Add oats and add a little more water if it needs it, but no so much that it is soupy. It's more like the oats cling to the apples with some yummy thickened cinnamon-apple juice.
  3. Stir in the ghee.
  4. Serve with milk (dairy, rice or nut milk)

Easter Babies (Croatian Easter Bread Dolls)

  Easter Babies                                                     ******* Makes 12 Easter Babies These Easter Babies (Croatian Easter bread dolls a.k.a.   primorski uskrsne bebe )  are a new tradition in our family. The egg dying, dough mixing and braiding is so fun for children and grownups—it’s contagious. Traditionally, they are made with red-dyed eggs, but we use the colors we already have dyed. They make sweet gifts and they also look charming laying next to each Easter dinner plate.  This lady  uses naturally dyed eggs for her Easter babies. If you're already making  challa bread , use extra challa dough for these babies (simply make enough dough for 2 loaves, only bake one challa, and use the remaining dough for the Easter Babies).

Sprouts Foo Young

Sprouts Foo Young ******* For each pancake:   2 eggs Grapeseed oil or ghee 1 C sprouts (alfalfa, sunflower, mung bean) 1 small clove garlic, minced ¼ C chopped green onion tops 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or pinch of ground ginger) ½ to 1 tsp Braggs amino sauce (like soy sauce) Optional:  add shrimp or fresh crab meat to step #1 Add a bit of oil in a small skillet.  Over medium heat sautee garlic, ginger and green onion tops.  Do not brown the garlic—that will make it bitter. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy.  Whisk in Braggs. When garlic is fragrant, add a bit more oil, then add sprouts, give them a stir or two (to mix with garlic, etc.), and pour egg over all.  Cook like an omelette, or flip like a pancake to brown on both sides.  

Pumpkin Pie-Coconut Cream Ice Cream

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Makes 1 quart I spy some dietary restrictions in my future. The doctor’s verdict will be in within a month, so I was hoping that some of the few remaining approved edibles (including coconut) could turn out something muy bueno. They did. This ice cream is excelente. The gingersnap cookies won’t be an option for the Paleo eater at the table, but everyone else will love them.  Modified from the nourishing gourmet
