My daughter’s friend, Amanda loves my chewy coconut magic bars so every time there is a party or celebration I make them for her as I know it means a lot.  Last night Amanda’s mom was hosting the soccer dinner party for the girls and I realized I didn’t make the magic bars for her so I created this recipe for a flourless coconut cookie with chocolate chips for them.

12 Days of Christmas – Pecan Confectioners

December 8, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Pecan

I was dating someone from the south who taught me a lot about southern traditional dishes and the simplicity of southern dining.  He had many favorite recipes like my chicken spaghetti bake (my number one searched recipe from my blog and super yummy) but his most favorite recipe was pecan confectioners.  He didn’t have the recipe so it became the running joke that they even existed as I couldn’t find a recipe for them on the internet.  I just figured the cookie or nut was just a recipe that the southerns had from generations prior or they are called something else and one day maybe I’d be lucky enough to try one.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Secret Ingredient

February 24, 2015 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

Cookies

I know we all have our own favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies and I know I have been posting new recipes with you as well, but I was on a quest to keep making chocolate chip cookies until I found the best chew chocolate chip recipe out there.  From my experience, it is easy to have a chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe when they come out of the oven but the real test of a chewy chocolate chip cookie is the next day, are your cookies still moist and chewy?

Oats – Steel Cut, Old Fashion or Instant? Do you know the Difference?

November 19, 2014 By Patty Limatola-Tanenbaum Leave a Comment

I was always taught by my mother to know my ingredients when it came to cooking as that would give me the success I needed in creating a great dish.  What do you know about oats?   When you are making at a recipe and it calls for old fashion oats and you only have instant oats do you use what you have or do you run to the market to buy what the recipe calls for?  Do you understand the difference between the oats so you understand how it will impact your recipe?

There is no recipe attached to this post but I wanted to share a little bit of information about the differences of the oats and my experience of them.

Steel Cut Oats

All oats start out as oak groats and steel cut oats are whole oats that have been chopped into small pieces before steaming, they are not rolled out or toasted.  When using to make oatmeal they will take longer to cook by 12-15 minutes, you can soak them in water or milk to reduce the cooking time and then use the milk or water to cook them in.  I have found that for oatmeal, they taste a bit nuttier and I tend to use steel cut oats more in baking then for oatmeal because of the extra time it takes to cook for oatmeal and I would never use them in a granola recipe.

Old Fashion Oats

Old fashion or “rolled oats” are oak groats that have been steamed and then rolled under heavy rollers before they are  lightly toasted (baked).  The old fashion oats are more commonly used for making oatmeal as they take less time to cook, they have a flakier texture then the steel cut oats, old fashion oats are not as nutty as the steel cut oats.  I use old fashion oats for oatmeal, granola bars and for baking.

Instant Oats

The instant oats are oak goats that are steamed and rolled out just like the old fashioned oats but the instant oats are rolled out even thinner so.  Instant oaks are broken down into much smaller pieces then the old fashion oats so the texture is completely different.   Instant oats cook in about a minute making them a great solution for someone who is on the go and wants oatmeal and because they start off as smaller pieces, they cook up creamier.  I use instant oats in my oatmeal on the go, muesli and in baking cookies.

Here is a photo of the three types of oats to give you a visual.

Again, knowing your ingredients from texture to taste can alter a recipe substantially.  Using steel-cut oats in my muesli would not work as the instant oats create the creamy texture that is needed  for muesli.  Likewise if I used instant oats for my granola bars that would not work as I need the texture of the old fashioned oats.  However, when I make oatmeal cookies, I do use a variety of all three oats as I like the texture and slight complexity it creates.
