11-04 Granola bars

You can store these in the freezer for "running late" mornings with some fruit or use as snacks for a hike.

If you double the recipe, you can still cook them in a 9x13 baking dish, just double the cooking time as they will be much thicker.

Mix together in small bowl:
4 T unsalted butter, melted
1/2 c agave or honey or brown sugar
1 t vanilla
2 eggs, beaten

In larger bowl, mix together:
1/2 c whole wheat flour (or white, or combo)
2 t cinnamon
2 t baking powder
4 c quick oats
Combine with egg mixture. When well blended, add:
1-2 c raisins or chocolate chips or coconut or chopped nuts ...or a combo of all three
Press into 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (30, if you double it)
Slice when cooled and store in freezer if they last that long.

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
