I’ve been in the kitchen a bit recently.
In case I might lose them, and in case you might be interested, here are links to some of the recipes.

Overnight oats – Did you know you can soak oats overnight and eat them right out of the fridge the next morning? No heat required! (Supposedly they are more nutritious and more easily digestible too.) I haven’t had a microwave the last month and have been eating my oatmeal prepared this way. It’s fast, easy, and delicious. You can customize it anyway you want – I use a cup of oats (use regular, not instant), a cup of homemade soy milk, a few spoons of vanilla yogurt (I LOVE vanilla and the yogurt sweetens my oatmeal just enough), and some trail mix (with cranberries and various nuts) from Trader Joe’s. Sometimes I add fruit.

Jello pinwheels – These just look so fun and colorful! My niece and nephew had fun peeling them apart and eating them. I used parchment paper and didn’t need to use any oil or spray to keep the gelatin from sticking to the pan. As a result, I think the rolls held together better. With no microwave, I did everything over the stove. Sometime I want to try this with fruit juice and Knox instead of the flavored Jello gelatin mix. Check out this flower arrangement (made by someone else)!

Peasant’s bread – Only 5 ingredients needed! I’ve been wanting to make this for a while. It turned out great! I used 3 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour and 1 cup of wheat flour, and baked it all in a 2.5L Pyrex bowl (15 minutes at 425 degrees and 22 minutes at 375 degrees.) It takes a little time, as you have to wait for it to rise, but otherwise it’s quite an easy recipe. The sides were nice and crispy and inside very soft with just the right sponginess. Definitely a keeper bread recipe.

Coconut gelatin – Similar to what my mom used to make. I used Aroy-D coconut milk (from a carton, to avoid potential BPA in cans), Knox gelatin, and homemade soy milk. I like to take some of the liquid (before heating) and bloom the Knox in it first. It turned out well, and I’ll likely make this again, though I may experiment with making the two-layer Coconut gelatin (it has a translucent layer and a white layer.)

I’ll try to take pics next time. 🙂
