TWD: Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

oatmeal-bread-3

Summer is almost over.  Hurray!!!  I have to admit, Summer has never been a good friend of mine.  Between the oppressive heat and humidity, hurricane season, and eleven weeks of school vacation, by this time each year, my nerves are raw.  I know, I know – why in the heck do I live in Florida if I hate the heat?  It isn’t by choice.   I guess I’m a victim of circumstance.  I grew up here.  I met my husband here. Our business is here.  And, most of the rest of my family is now here too.  I suppose there were a few opportunities for escape over the years, but my fear of the unknown coupled with my sense of responsibility kept me from grabbing them.  I still have hope, though.  Mini SGCC will be off to college in a few years. Our nest will be empty.  Perhaps that will be the catalyst to shake us out of this rut.

What does this have to do with Oatmeal Breakfast Bread?   Nothing, really.  But, the temperature is hovering at around ninety-three degrees in the shade as I write this, and my brain is feeling a little like a fried egg right now.   Or maybe, I’m just becoming one of those old ladies who ramble on about nothing that has anything to do with anything.  If I start walking around wearing purple hats and peppering my conversations with words like “putter” and “early bird special”, please just shoot me!  read more >>

Do Chua (Vietnamese Carrot and Daikon Pickle)

Are you getting sick of me talking about Suncoast Organics yet?  I hope not, because I’m going to talk about them again.  This week I got the prettiest rainbow-colored carrots in my goodie box.  Another “first” for me. I’d seen pictures of them in cookbooks and magazines, but …

Sweet and Spicy Wickled Okra

I’ve been having lots of fun thinking of different ways to use up the fruits and veggies in my weekly produce basket from Suncoast Organics.  Each week they offer several interesting and unusual items that I rarely, if ever, see at the supermarket -  like the yardlong beans …

Snapper Veracruz, Chef Luis and Me

One of the highlights of any cruise is visiting the various ports of call on the itinerary.  The sea days are fun and relaxing, but I really love going ashore and soaking up some local color.  As many of you know, one of the stops on my most …

Moros y Cristianos

A few days ago, I shared my secrets to making the perfect (to me) Cuban sandwich, one of which was a succulent and juicy, marinated roast pork or lechon asado.  But, man (or woman) cannot live by Cuban sandwiches alone.  No, no, no!  One also needs a few …

Another Momofuku Success: Chicken Wings with Octo Vinaigrette

Wednesday, February 3, 201024 Comments

Those of you who read my post last week about Momofuku’s Ginger Scallion Noodles have probably already figured out that I did succumb and buy the book.  And, I’m so glad I did!  Even if I never make one more recipe from it, it was still worth the …

I’m a bad blogger buddy!  Jaden Hair’s lovely new cookbook, The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook, has been on the shelves for three weeks and I’ve yet to post about it.  Jaden was the first food blogger I ever met way back before SGCC was even a thought in my head.  …

Sesame-Crusted Tuna with Homemade Ponzu Sauce

Wednesday, June 10, 200938 Comments

Mr. SGCC and I went to a fancy cocktail party several weeks ago. It was the kind of party where everybody spoke in hushed tones, hors d’oeuvres were passed on silver trays and champagne was poured into real crystal flutes. The kind of party where you …
