Favorite Homemade Granola Bars Recipe

August 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Chewy, wholesome, not too sweet homemade granola bars are a perfect lunch bag treat or after school snack. You can use whatever combination of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits you prefer, provided you keep the proportions the same, so feel free to adjust the recipe to suit your individual tastes.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
2 tablespoons unsalted sunflower or pumpkin seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons flax seed
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dried fruit of your choice (raisins, chopped dates, chopped
apricots, cranberries, etc)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.

Line an 8-inch baking pan with foil that overhangs the pan on all sides by at least one inch. Lightly grease the foil and set the pan aside.

Spread the oats, nuts, and seeds on a baking sheet and bake them for about 10 minutes, or until they are lightly toasted, stirring once or twice to insure even cooking. Remove the pan from the oven and let the oat/nut mixture cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the wheat germ, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon with a whisk until blended and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir the oil and brown sugar with a whisk until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture just until combined, then stir in the oat mixture and dried fruit until well combined.

Spread the mixture into the prepared baking pan evenly, pressing gently.

Bake the bars until they are set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack until the granola bars have cooled completely. Lift the slab of granola bars from the pan using the overhanging foil as handles and place on a cutting board. Cut into desired size bars.

These Homemade Granola Bars will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Yield: One 8-inch pan of granola bars

How to Organize Your Favorite Recipes

August 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Recipes: Most of us have a collection of family recipes we like to use and some we would like to try. Getting those recipes organized can be a challenge. Try creating your own family recipe book. Take an ordinary binder and add page protectors for full page ones and photo album inserts that will fit other sizes. These will help protect them from splattered ingredients and is a great way to hold them in place.

 

Another way to add recipes to your binder is to use ordinary loose leaf paper so you can tape each one to the papers inside the binder. Use whatever works to keep them in place. You can also insert dividers to separate each one into categories. Some category suggestions are… Appetizers & Snacks, Beverages, Breads, Cakes & Frostings, Candy & Ice Creams, Cookies, Desserts, Eggs, Cheese, Legumes/Casseroles, Fish & Shell Fish, Freezing & Canning, Meat & Lasagnas, Pasta, Rice & Grains, Pies & Pizza, Poultry & Chicken Entrees, Salads & Dressings, Sauces, Relishes, Salsas & Dips, Soups, Stews & Stir Fry, Vegetables, Special Helps and Miscellaneous. Binders can be very useful because they can easily be updated by adding or removing recipes at any time.

 

It also helps to write comments on or next to the recipes that you have tried (who liked them and how good it was on a scale of 1 – 10). Toss out the ones that no one liked; why keep them? Try to set aside one night each week to try a new recipe and see how fast you go through all those recipes you’ve always wanted to try. After you have tried each new recipe, immediately choose another recipe to try, that way you will have time to shop for the ingredients before you try out the next one the following week.

A New Way Of Thinking: Healthy Recipes

August 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Article by Jack Dobson

The most important thing to consider when preparing healthy recipes is the quality of the ingredients you use. Always look for the freshest produce possible. Fresh fruits and vegetables begin to lose their nutritional value once they’re picked, so the fresher they are, the more vitamins and minerals they contain. One of the best places to purchase ingredients is from a local farmers market. The produce tends to be much fresher than the imported produce in supermarkets and is generally less expensive. There is much discussion these days about whether it’s better to use organic products than ones produced using chemicals and pesticides. Some claim that all chemicals are harmful and should never be ingested. Others claim the chemicals used are harmless if the food is washed properly before use. To add to the confusion, some chemicals used in growing fruits and vegetables have never been sufficiently tested in independent studies. Those studies that have been conducted have often resulted in conflicting conclusions. If you want to be absolutely certain your produce is free of harmful additives, it’s probably best to stick with organic. However, organic products tend to be significantly more expensive than non-organic and therefore are not an option for everyone. You may want to consider purchasing organic versions of only those fruits and vegetables that are most heavily sprayed with pesticides. Nectarines, peaches, apples and strawberries tend to be the most heavily sprayed fruits, while bell peppers, celery, lettuce, spinach and potatoes are the most heavily sprayed vegetables.

With respect to choosing meat, poultry and fish, it’s important to seek out the leanest and freshest products available. Trimming fat from red meat and removing skin from poultry will significantly reduce the level of fat and cholesterol in your recipes. Try to ensure that the meat and fish you purchase has not been previously frozen since there is a risk of contamination when meat is repeatedly frozen and thawed. It is sometimes possible to purchase organic meat and poultry that has been raised without the use of hormones. Again, there’s much controversy about whether or not hormone-free meat is better for you. If money is not a factor, it’s probably best to buy hormone-free.

Another question you’ll want to consider when preparing healthy recipes is whether to use fresh or frozen ingredients. While it’s generally accepted that fresh produce is healthier than frozen, that is not always the case. In many instances, fruits and vegetables are frozen very shortly after they’re picked, locking in the freshness and vitamins. Fresh produce, on the other hand, may take days to arrive on your supermarket shelves, losing more and more nutritional value the longer it sits.

Once you’ve located some favorite healthy recipes, either in cookbooks or on the internet, you can modify or adapt them to suit your particular tastes. Substituting ingredients or adding additional seasonings can turn an ordinary dish into something special. You may even want to create your own original healthy recipes by using fresh seasonal ingredients and experimenting with various flavor combinations. Once you know how to pick the healthiest and most flavorful ingredients, creating healthy recipes is a snap.

Today, it’s easier than ever to prepare healthy food for you and your family. Recipe websites abound on the internet and it’s possible to find unique, healthy recipes for just about any food on the planet. In addition, many recipe sites include features such as nutritional information for each recipe and special categories for low-fat or low-calorie foods, making it easy for those seeking nutritionally-conscious, healthy recipes to locate them quickly.

Article by JamesAnderson

Cooking can be a lot of fun but all too often it turns out to be a mishap rather than a yummy meal. We watch a lot of cooking shows. When the show starts we often run around, searching for a paper and a pencil. That is the tricky part. You won’t find a writing device when you need it. By the time you gather all these materials, the dish would have already been prepared. Some of us sit well-prepared for the show, but when you feel like cooking that particular dish, you will find that the tiny sheet of paper you wrote the recipe on would have magically disappeared. And what about your grandma’s recipe for that tasty Portobello mushroom Tortellini? How do you save that amazing recipe and pass it on to your kids? Skip the scratch paper, and trust your menu planner to help you with this. With an online menu planner you could save hundreds of recipes and you could take a look at them whenever you want.
