Those Cranberry Muffins sound wonderful.

I may try baking that recipe in small foil loaf pans to give to friends at Christmas time.

No kidding. I think hemp seeds are from a non-hallucenegenic variant, not the psychoactive kind.

= = =
From wikipedia

Hemp seeds have been used in bird seed mix. Hemp seed is also widely used as a fishing bait.

Food

Hemp seeds contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. The seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal, sprouted, made into hemp milk (akin to soy milk), prepared as tea, and used in baking. The fresh leaves can also be eaten in salads.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp

Hemp is used for a wide variety of purposes, including the manufacture of cordage of varying tensile strength, clothing, and nutritional products. The bast fibers can be used in 100% hemp products, but are commonly blended with other organic fibers such as flax, cotton or silk, for apparel and furnishings, most commonly at a 55%/45% hemp/cotton blend.

The inner two fibers of hemp are more woody, and are more often used in non-woven items and other industrial applications, such as mulch, animal bedding and litter. The oil from the fruits (”seeds”) dries on exposure to air (similar to linseed oil) and is sometimes used in the manufacture of oil-based paints, in creams as a moisturizing agent, for cooking, and in plastics.

Apfelkuchen

OK, those of German ancestry, check out this one:

http://www.americanprofile.com/recipes/view/72/overnight-coffee-cake.html

Overnight Coffee Cake
submitted by reader Sylvia Goeser of Westphalia, IA

Westphalia, Iowa, is a German colony on the National Register of Historic Places, and many times we serve dinner to tour groups.

For dessert, I decided we must have something Germanish, so I used my old never-fail recipe for Apfelkuchen. It is an overnight coffeecake that also can be served at breakfast.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (or sour milk)
1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

[1/2 cup chopped black walnuts or pecans, optional]

Instructions
Mix flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. In another bowl, cream granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and butter. Mix in eggs, buttermilk, and flour mixture. Fold in apples.

Pour into a 9-by-13-inch greased baking pan. For topping, combine remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, [walnuts], and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over batter. Cover with foil and put in refrigerator until next morning.

Uncover and let stand about 30 minutes.

Bake 45 minutes in a 350-degree oven. It’s best served warm.

[Try drizzling coffeecake with a thin powdered sugar frosting before serving.]

1 red and 1 yellow onion, chopped or sliced
2 15 1/2-ounce cans peas (drained)

1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
8 to 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

I think by the picture at that blogger’s link, she means the brown GW broth granules.

I did a websearch and find this tidbit of info,

1 package George Washington’s Seasoning and Broth
or
1 teaspoon Wyler’s Chicken bouillon granules

... from which I infer that if one bought Wyler chicken flavor granules it would be three teaspoons of that instead of three packets of GW broth gran.

Bon appetit!

Good, thanks. Only in this recipe’s case, I’d do beef instead of chicken. It will give it a nice color.

That’s what I was thinking - that the beef would be a good flavor with it.

I think I’ll try that first.

It’s in the oven. I used Wyler granules, and they actually say chicken flavored, so who knows, they might be considered vegetarian anyway. I don’t have my glasses on so won’t try to read the fine print. I bought the Wyler stuff and Special K on an early morning walmart run as well as a couple tubs of cottage cheese. The only other change to the recipe I made was I melted the butter in a cast iron skillet and then sauteed the onions that way. I avoid microwaves as much as possible. I baked it in a 10x14 glass pan.

I will take it with me tomorrow and hope it’s a big success.

Getting ready to mix up jello next. Woohoo.

So glad I have today off from work.

It's funny you mentioned hemp milk. My son is allergic to milk and soy, so we use rice milk. In the store earlier this week, I saw a carton of HempMilk. It was the first time I had even heard of it. I plan on learning some more about it, because it contained more fat and calcium than the rice milk, both of which he needs.

I think soy should be avoided. It is genetically modified and so can’t actally be considered “food”. And yet, health conscious folk choose it. It’s crazy.

I will mention the hemp milk to my daughter. Her hubby avoids dairy products.

I like to saute my onions, or any veggies, like that too. I just like the flavor better for some reason.

I have my onions and celery chopped for the dressing. Got carrot cake bars in the oven (easier than making the cake and icing separately!).

I’m going to nuke my sweet potatoes for the sweet potato casserole instead of baking them this year. I don’t like to boil them because they seem to be too juicy that way for my taste.

I had my part of the Thanksgiving meal planned before I saw the recipe, so I’m going to try it after Thanksgiving and decide how I want to make it before I take it for the whole family. Ha. Let me know what everyone thinks, Joya. It sounds good to me.

Hope y’all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s done. It’s cooling. It looks beautiful.

I have a very few favorite recipes that I use for church dinners, to take to families when they have new babies, etc., and I have used them over and over for more than three decades now, my most-loved recipes. Have not added to them at all, probably the ones I now use I was using 30 years ago when my son and daughter were two toddlers at home.

As of today, I believe I have just added a new favorite.

In my life, that’s remarkable.

I read many recipes, try many recipes, but rarely keep them, it’s always on to more recipes I want to try, or else back to my tried and true favorites.

This cottage cheese loaf is an exception, I think. It’s going to be one I repeat, for the duration of my homemaking years.

I will find out tomorrow.

= = =
For reference, I will repeat the recipe now, thanks so much Shimmer1 for sharing this with all of us.

http://life.tanapageler.com/?p=165

Cottage Cheese Loaf - Tana’s version

1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 lb. cottage cheese
2 [teaspoons Wyler’s broth granules, chicken or beef]
5 eggs
5 cups Special K cereal

Melt the butter and cook the onions in [a cast iron skillet].

Combine all ingredients and place in [greased 10x15 glass casserole dish].

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Did y’all use large or small curd cottage cheese?

It doesn’t matter, it sort of melts into the casserole, but I personally use small curd because I like the feel of it in my mouth better than the large curd. (in case I eat some of it)

The consistency of the small curd seems thicker and creamier.
