Square of Goji Berry and Coconut Oatneal Bake
Goji Berry and Coconut Oatmeal Bake
I have an abundance of goji berries right now. I accidently grabbed the goji berry bag at the grocery store, instead of the mulberries. I didn’t notice until I came home and found the exact same bag in my pantry. So, here’s a Goji Berry and Coconut Oatmeal recipe. If you don’t have goji berries, substitute any other dried fruit — cranberries, blueberries, diced apricots, or even raisins.
This healthy baked oatmeal smells divine as it bakes up — a perfect comfort food breakfast for a wintry morning. It’s great for brunch or a crowd of people too, just double the recipe. Bake it up the night before; then just reheat in the morning. Or, use it throughout the week, reheating portions as needed. It’s also great for on-the-go, since they slice easily into squares.

Scarlet Runner Beans and Caramelized Onions
These gorgeous Scarlet Runner Beans are maroon with black speckles. Larger than a cannellini bean, but smaller than a Christmas Lima, they have a natural meaty taste and texture. Seasoned simply with salt brings out their wonderful sweetness.
Keep in mind the beans can be cooked 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Or, you can freeze the cooked beans for up to a month.

Orange Buttermilk Scones and Milk
TWD – Tuesdays with Dorie
Buttermilk Scones
We enjoyed these scones quite a bit. I used orange zest and cranberries. I think I mixed mine a bit too much. They were ever so slightly tough, but still good. I usually gather my scone dough, and then put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to hydrate a bit, just like when making a pie dough. This helps the dough come together with less kneading. I should have followed my usual procedure. Ah, well.

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

Zoku Quick Pop Maker
One of my Christmas gifts this year was the incredible Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Place the Zoku in the freezer for 24 hours to freeze. Once the Zoku is frozen, it will make ice pops in about 7-8 minutes. I have the three pop maker, and it will make up to 9 ice pops, before needing to refreeze.
