27 Oct 2015 SERIOUSLY Good Oatmeal

Seriously Good Oatmeal - not soggy, but chewy and full of whatever you love or are in the mood for that morning.
You can make ahead and store it in the fridge.
Put it in the oven while you get ready in the morning.
It is a win-win, lasts you until lunch.

In an oven proof baking dish, 9 x 13 or so, stir together:
2 c oats, rolled, quick or instant
1 t baking powder 
1 t salt

In a small mixing bowl, combine:
2 c almond milk, milk, cream, water or combination 
3 T coconut oil or melted unsalted butter 
Pour liquid over oatmeal and mix well.

Now choose your flavors,
whatever combination appeals or ingredients you have, add on top of oatmeal Combine all lightly:
1-2 eggs, (mix well into milk mix if using)
1 c fresh or frozen fruit:  blueberries, peaches, apples, etc.
1-2 bananas, sliced
1/2 c shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2-1 c sliced or chopped nuts:  almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc.
1/4-1/2 c unsweetened chocolate, toffee, chips or chunks  (dark is best)
1 t nutmeg, cinnamon, or allspice or...
citrus zest
Sweetener -  can always add a sweetener later

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes
Serve in a bowl with milk poured over it

My favorite combos so far were:

Blueberries, dark chocolate, walnuts, banana

Peaches, pecans, banana, coconut, nutmeg

apples, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, banana, extra cinnamon

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.

Swedish almond cake = nötkaka

How did I miss putting this recipe on here years ago?! There are several versions. The original here is from the Swedish classic Sju Sorters Kakor. For presentation it is baked in a special ribbed pan - widely available and not expensive - called a Swedish/Rehrucken/Almond cake loaf pan.  They are about 4.75 x 12.25 inches & 2 inches deep.  It also works in a similarly sized baking dish or cake round, you just won't have the ribbed design.  Prepare cake pan with a light coating of oil or oil spray, as you want to be able to invert it after baking to present it with the pattern. Sprinkle sliced almonds into the bottom of the pan before pouring the batter into it.  Recipe:  Beat together until light and fluffy = "vit och skummig":  2/3 c - 1 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 c softened unsalted butter Beat in, one at a time:   1 egg & 2//3 c milk OR 2 eggs Combine the dry ingredients:  1 1/2 t almond e...
