Lifetime Recipes Made Easy
When September hits, immediately I crave apple pie, I love a good apple pie, especially one with ice cream…YUM. While I know it’s not September…you need to know that I just couldn’t wait for something “apple”. So, I had to make my apple pie granola. I just love this recipe…and I love granola. I can eat granola with some milk in the morning or some yogurt in the afternoon, as a snack and sometimes I eat granola as a little snack late at night.
You will find this granola recipe is very different then your traditional recipes as this one tastes like an apple pie. It even starts out with apple juice that you concentrate, I’m not saying that this is a super healthy recipe, but it doesn’t use as much oil as some that I have made before. I made this apple pie granola recipe yesterday and Kelsi came home and nibbled on some of it…she was so cute as she’s like “mom it feels like Christmas with this granola”, I think it’s all that cinnamon!
Traditionally I tend to use cranberries and blueberries, in this recipe I use dehydrated apples that I chop, it adds great texture.
So, I mixed my nuts with the seasonings
I took my whole dehydrated apple
and chopped it up
mixed my oatmeal, nuts, seasonings and chopped dehydrated apples in a bowl and tossed
I added the apple juice, oil and honey and tossed again
I placed it on my lined sheet and sprinkled my brown sugar and coconut on top
I baked it for 10 minutes and tossed…see how “wet” it looks?
10 more minutes…still “wet”
10 more minutes…all done!
I let it cool off completely before I put it in my beautiful glass dish.
I know you will like this very simple and easy recipe!

YUMMMMMMMY…there have I said enough? I just love rice krispies (crispies) and I found that even though they are a very simple thing to make, I always had an issue making them. My sister-in-law used to make rice krispies (crispies) for me for my birthday and I had always looked forward to receiving them as I just love rice krispies (crispies).

Here was my question…”What do you do when you have left over chicken from your BBQ’s? and you’re Italian???” And here is my answer, “You make chicken salad…hold the mayo!”

So, I recently was told that my oven is drawing too much electricity which is why my electric bill is over $500 in January. I don’t buy that to be the reason for the increase but nonetheless, I decided that maybe I needed to find a recipe that didn’t include baking.

It’s “Scrumptious Saturday” did you think I’d forget?
I’m sorry for the late post but today is also my daughters birthday. So I must say that while most people are preparing for the Super Bowl with lots of appetizers…like hot wings, dips and sandwiches, I have a house filled with girls wanting pizza, salad and cake. So I thought I’d have a little fun by making some garlic bread (my way). While at the market I found a sourdough bread, it had a nice hard crust and thought it looked fine for what I wanted to try.
I cut preheated my oven to 350 degrees and sliced my bread. In slicing the bread, I did it without cutting the bread all the way through so it looked like little cubes.
I then melted some butter and added garlic, since it is garlic bread and then added some Parmesan cheese
I had some monterey jack cheese that I sliced and stuck in between my sliced bread (I’m hoping the visuals are helping as I’m struggling describing this one for some reason…lack of sleep maybe lol)
I ladled the melted butter, garlic and Parmesan cheese on top of the bread….see where this is going??? lol I wrapped the bread with aluminum foil, placed it on a baking sheet and baked it for 15 min or so.
I took it out and checked to see if the cheese was melted, not quite where I wanted it.
I uncovered it and baked it for an additional 12 minutes or so…YUMMY…the kids loved it! and I have to say…so did I, I hope you do as well, enjoy!

I Love…love…luv granola! The funny thing is I didn’t grow up eating granola and really never appreciated it until I took a cooking class 7 or 8 years ago. Once I saw how easy it was to make, I was sold. I gave it away to neighbors for holiday gifts or friends just because. I find granola to be a great comfort snack, it’s simple enough to grab a handful and get a light pick me up in the afternoon or you can use it for a healthy breakfast in a parfait, it can be sprinkled in hot oatmeal. If you put some in your favorite muffin mix, it makes a simple muffin into a new creation. You can even sprinkle it on top of ice cream.
It’s so easy to make, now that I know how and you will find it easy to make as well. First you simply put your oatmeal, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, nuts, cinnamon, vanilla extract & salt in a bowl and toss.
Then you put your syrup and sugars in a pan to melt. Once it’s all melted you pour the now liquid on top of your mixed oats and then you bake. I tend to bake in 10 minute increments until I get the color I like.
You can see how in 30 minutes of baking where it starts off and how it looks completed. When the granola is no longer moist and it’s reached the color I like, I remove it from the oven and I put the fruit on top. If you bake the granola and put the fruit in and then bake it, the fruit will burn and you will have to start over so wait until the end so you don’t dry out your fruit.
I hope you enjoy this granola, it’s one of my favorites!

So I’m one of those patients that sit in the doctors waiting room, I look through the magazines and then of course I’m going to find me a great recipe that I just have to try. So, I end up asking the receptionist to print me a copy of a page…of course these days I pull out my cell phone and just take a photo. Well, this recipe is one of those kind of recipes.
My son was home ill from school today so I thought what a perfect day to bake him some healthy (yes healthy) cookies. The recipe said that they are really meant to be eaten for breakfast but we think they can be eaten any time of the day. I did modify the original recipe by omitting 1/2 cup of raisins and I added a few more things to the mix. If you like raisins…then add em…we are not fans of raisins.
You basically grate your carrots
In a large bowl, add your oil, brown sugar, white sugar and egg. Mix until it’s well blended. Add your dry ingredients
add your oatmeal, carrots and coconut flakes. Mix just until it’s all blended
spoon onto your prepared baking sheets
bake for 10-12 minutes
while it’s baking you make your filling
and you make little sandwiches out of them. These cookies, wrapped and in the refrigerator, will last up to 3 days.

OK, so I will share that this recipe is not a “Patty” original but the recipe itself was interesting to me as to make the lemon syrup you have to cook it down by half and that intrigued me enough to deviate from my original recipe. I enjoyed this version of the recipe…I will do my recipe next week and let you know which one I liked more.
In the meantime, I put a nice yellow ribbon around them to show you how lovely they can look as the perfect hostess gift.
Let me know what your thoughts are…
