To make the parfait:

Breakfast Parfait

  • 1 container Honey Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 8 blackberries
  • 1/2 of a peach cut into slices
  • 1/4 cup granola

Layer all 4 ingredients. Serve immediately! Ya…it is that easy!

Ingredients (for Granola):

  • 5 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup ground flax seed
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Directions:

Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well. In a small bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients. Stir to mix well. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones, and stir well.

Spread the mixture evenly on two rimmed baking sheets, either greased with cooking spray or covered with parchment paper. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until evenly golden brown. Set a timer to go off every ten minutes while the granola bakes, so you can rotate the pans and give the granola a good stir; this helps it to cook evenly. When it’s ready, remove the pans from the oven, stir well – this will keep it from cooling into a hard, solid sheet – and set aside to cool. The finished granola may still feel slightly soft when it comes out of the oven, but it will crisp as it cools.

Scoop cooled granola into to a large zipper-lock plastic bag or other airtight container. Store in the refrigerator indefinitely.

DOUGH RECIPE:

  • 3/8 cup milk (heated approximately 1 minute in microwave)
  • 3/8 cup warm water (110 degrees F.)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 cups bread flour or unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons dough relaxer (optional)*
  • 3 teaspoons instant active dry yeast

* The Vital Wheat Gluten helps the sweet bread dough rise better, be more elastic, and easier to roll out

Add all the ingredients in the bread pan of bread machine. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions for a dough setting. Check the dough (don’t be afraid to open the lid). It should form a nice elastic ball. If you think the dough is too moist, add additional flour (a tablespoon at a time). The same is true if the dough is looking dry and gnarly. Add warm water (a tablespoon at a time).

When the bread machine has completed the dough cycle, remove the dough from the pan to a lightly oiled surface. Knead the dough several times and form the dough into an oval; cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll and stretch the dough into approximately a 9×18-inch rectangle.

FILLING RECIPE:

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted or softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons firmly-packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raisins, optional

Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking pan. Brush the melted or softened butter on the dough. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins; sprinkle over prepared dough.

Starting with long edge, roll up dough; pinch seams to seal. With a knife, lightly mark roll into 1 1/2-inch section. Slide a 12-inch piece of dental floss or heavy thread underneath. By bringing the ends of the floss up and crisscrossing them at the top of each mark, you can cut through the roll by pulling the strings in opposite directions. Place cut side up in prepared pan, flattening them slightly.

  • 1/2 c. uncooked rice
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground pork
  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp. flour
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 6 to 8 bell peppers
  • 2 (46 oz.) cans tomato juice
  • 1 tsp. sugar

Directions:

  1. Parboil rice and mix with pork, beef, and spices. Choose well formed peppers. Cut off tops of peppers, wash and seed. Stuff peppers tightly with meat mixture. Set stuffed peppers aside.
  2. In large heavy pot, make a light roux by melting butter, and stirring in flour; stir and cook flour until lightly browned. Stir in tomato juice. Stir in sugar. Add peppers to pot; peppers should be submerged or at least doused with tomato juice. (Any leftover meat can be rolled into a meatball and put in the juice.)
  3. Bring to a bubbling simmer and cook 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to be sure peppers don’t burn on the bottom. Serve peppers with a dollop of sour cream and crusty French bread. Peppers are better made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight; they also freeze well if covered with sauce.

    • Pork Butt (or shoulder)
    • 1 Packet of that Chili seasoning mix (this is cheating, you could measure out all the ingredients that comes in this packet from Chili’s or McCormick’s or whoever….but you are BUSY and you don’t need all those spices to take up space in your kitchen so just buy the packet).
    • 1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (Yup, that’s it…only 3 ingredients)

    Directions:

    1. Line your slow cooker with those great slow cooker bags they make now.
    2. Rub your Pork Butt with the Chili Seasoning. Now I try to do this the night before so it gets good and marinated – but I’ve forgotten and it still turned out fantastic.
    3. Put your Pork Butt in the slow cooker on Low. Ignore for 6-8 hours (you could really ignore it for as long as you want).
    4. 2 hours before you want to eat pull your Pork Butt out of the slow cooker – I buy one of those aluminum pans for this job and you just take a couple of forks and you pull apart – you will have to resist eating it from this pan, I’m just warning you, it’s VERY difficult to resist so I chew Watermelon gum while I do this job.
    5. Put the now Pulled Pork back in the slow cooker and pour your BBQ Sauce on top. Stir.
    6. Ignore for 2 hours (or 1 hour if you’re impatient like me) and ENJOY.
