Hmm, don’t know that I fit any of those categories.

Been making some pretty good chocolate oatmeal lately.

This is based roughly on a Good Eats recipe.

1 cup steel cut oats
1 can evaporated milk
5 cups water
2 pinches of salt
3 tbls cocoa

place the above in a crock pot on low overnight (when you go to bed).

In the morning add sugar to taste (a couple tbsp)

You will have a nice hot breakfast ready when you wake up that is well suited for chocolate lovers. We’re getting to that warm breakfast time of year after all.

Glad you are back and continuing the thread! Was real worried as JustaDumbBlond the poster of the gardening thread just disappeared from posting her weekly thread back in August and your thread went missing too!

Wow, first I’ve seen of this thread. Love it.

This year we’re baking cookies as gifts to non-family and co-workers.
Cutting down on prep time by using boxes of cake mix to make the most delicious cookies around.

One box of instant cake mix
1/3 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 cup of chips

Mix. Drop by teaspoonfuls on non-stick cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on rack.

With my kids as willing taste testers, we have created butter toffee chip cookies, vanilla butterscotch chip, chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet vanilla chip macaroons, and devils food white chocolate chip. It’s awesome. 6 dozen in less than an hour.

A big hit at our church potlucks: Pea and Peanut Salad

Bag of frozen peas
Can of Spanish peanuts
Chopped onion
Mayonnaise

Put peas in colander and run cold water over them until they’re no longer frozen. Place in a bowl and add peanuts, onion and mayo. Mix it all up. Quantities don’t really matter; just to taste.

I made this bread pudding using Hoagie rolls. It ended up so soft, the bread was almosted like eating a melting marshmallow. It was very sweet, so I’d cut the sugar a bit, or use splenda...

The Best Bread Pudding
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007
Ingredients
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 large beaten eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 cups cubed Italian bread, allow to stale overnight in a bowl
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 1 cup chopped pecans

For the sauce:
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup brandy
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan.
Mix together granulated sugar, eggs, and milk in a bowl; add vanilla. Pour over cubed bread and let sit for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, mix and crumble together brown sugar, butter, and pecans.
Pour bread mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over the top and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Remove from oven.
For the sauce:
Mix together the granulated sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir together until the sugar is melted. Add the brandy, stirring well. Pour over bread pudding. Serve warm or cold
