by Sue Orsen Recipes are a popular focus of the day -- we've even got a cooking channel -- but recipes are as old as the hills. To be more precise, they're as old as humanity. We've always had to eat! And we've always had taste buds that steer us in various directions. Salty, sweet, or savory appeal to us at different times. I asked my family to share some of their favorite recipes in this Christmas issue of the Gazette. I'm giving each one of the recipes a star, and I'm thanking family members who contributed to these festive pages of my paper. May you all eat, drink, and be merry at this merry time of year.
Muffin in a MinuteH from Jenny Norgaard, daughter Tioga, North Dakota 1 tsp coconut oil 1 egg 1/4 cup almond flour 1/2 tsp aluminum free baking powder 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (I use ground almonds.) 1 Tbsp mashed banana (I use 2 Tbsp. golden raisins.) 1 tsp cinnamon 1 Tbsp sugar Pinch of sea salt Melt the coconut oil for 30 seconds in a coffee cup in the microwave. Slowly stir in the egg. Mix in remaining ingredients until combined. Microwave for one minute and let stand to cool. Enjoy! I then slice it up, put butter on it, and sprinkle it with a little sugar. Note: You can use 1/2 cup Bisquick instead of the almond flour and baking powder. It's still good but a little less moist and contains more carbs. Writes Jenny, "Hi, Mom. This is a new recipe that I've been making for the kids for breakfast or as an after school snack. Christopher sent me a link about the benefits of eating protein for breakfast, which is a nod to the fact that we are eating a lot of eggs these days. We get about 18 per day from our hens! This was one of the breakfast suggestions on the link."
PC Cheese SpreaderH from Jenny Norgaard, daughter Tioga, North Dakota Shredded cheddar cheese Mayonnaise Diced Pimentos Capers Add just enough mayo to the cheese to make it spreadable, and stir in pimentos. Spread on crackers and top with a few capers. Yum. Writes Jenny, "I'm always keeping my eye out for a dip that is dairy free. Well, I guess the cheese isn't dairy free, but I can have cheese that is not pasteurized. Tillamook cheddar is a great option. I found this recipe in a magazine. I added the capers and now it's my favorite snack. PC stands for Pimentos and Capers, of course."
