Cinnamon Rolls
1/2 cup warm water

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar

••••BANANA BLONDIES!!

••••GOOD EATS!!

Ingredients
120 grams butter
100 grams granulated sugar
100 grams brown sugar
100 grams bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon rum
1 large egg
120 grams plain flour
1 tablespoon cornflour (corn starch)
100 grams walnut pieces

Preparation

Heat a large pan over medium high heat and, without adding any fat, toast the walnut pieces for about 5-7 minutes, until they start getting brown and fragrant. Remove them from the heat and let them cool down slightly. In a large saucepan, combine diced butter (it can be straight from the refrigerator or softened) and both sugars. Place the saucepan over medium heat, and let everything melt and blend together well. Make sure the mixture does not burn. Remove it from the heat and let it cool down slightly. Mash the bananas, and add them to the butter, along with vanilla and rum.

Mix the batter well, then add in the egg and whisk vigorously to incorporate it. Finally, sift in the plain flour, cornflour, and the walnuts, and combine. Do not overmix the batter, just gently fold everything together using gentle strokes with a rubber spatula. Take a small baking pan (17x17 cm; 7x7") and butter it generously, then pour in the batter and level it. Bake in a preheated oven, at 170˚C (340˚F), for about 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Do not overbake the blondies, because they will be dry. Best served chilled. Yields 9 blondies.

••••MOTHER'S SLOW COOKER 

••••OATMEAL!!

••••MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!!

••Toasting the oats adds a depth of flavor and helps keep some texture in this easy recipe. You could use chopped apples or strawberries or other fruits. If you substitute regular rolled oats for the steel cut oats, the oatmeal will be very soft••

•3 TB butter

•1-1/2 cups steel cut oats

•2 cups water

•1 cup milk

•1-1/2 cups apple juice

•1/2 teaspoon salt

•1/3 cup sugar

•1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

•1 cup blueberries 

1. Spray a 2-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.  In skillet, melt butter. Add oats; cook and stir until oats are toasted, about 6-7 minutes. Place in slow cooker and add water, milk, apple juice, salt, and sugar, stirring to mix.

2. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Stir well, then add walnuts and blueberries; cook for another 30 minutes. Serve with cold cream and brown sugar, if desired.

MAKES 6-8 SERVINGS

••NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS OR BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS, BANANAS, BLACKBERRIES, NUTS ETC.  ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE CAN BE ADDED TO THE OATMEAL!!!

••••FRIED SPAGHETTI PIZZA

••••MARGARITA!!!

Fried Spaghetti Pizza Margherita
What you’ll need:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound leftover spaghetti {leftover meaning  it has been coated in the sauce of your choice}
4 ounces mozzarella cheese – sliced
2 roma tomatoes – sliced
4-6 fresh basil leaves

What to do:
1. Into an oven proof frying pan add 2 tablespoons oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti and press down with a spatula. Allow spaghetti to cook until golden brown.

2. CAREFULLY place a plate over the top of the spaghetti and with an oven mitt or kitchen towel invert the plate {there could be remaining oil and you don’t want to burn yourself or ruin your clothes ;)}. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and return spaghetti to pan. Press down with spatula and allow to cook until golden brown.

3. Preheat oven broiler to high. Arrange sliced mozzarella onto spaghetti “pizza”. Add tomatoes and place under broiler. Cook until cheese is bubbly. CAREFULLY remove from oven and garnish with basil leaves.
