Cinnamon Breakfast Cookie Recipe

April 5, 2013 By 4 Comments

Cinnamon Breakfast Cookie Recipe (Made With Ola! Granola)

By: Ashley

Baking is not usually my thing. I can cook meals and create recipes in the kitchen, but usually not those in the baking world. When I tried out this great granola from Ola! though, it gave me a little courage. I decided to make a low sugar cookie using granola and whole wheat flour. The results? I now have a recipe for a pretty tasty little breakfast cookie!

clip_image002

Cinnamon Breakfast Cookie Recipe

You will need:

- 1 stick of butter (at room temperature)

- ¾ c brown sugar

- 3 eggs

- 1 t vanilla

- 1 t cinnamon

- 1 1/2 c whole wheat flour

- 1 t baking soda

- 2 c. Cranberry Orange Pecan Ola! Granola

Preheat oven to 350*. Begin by mixing butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Once thoroughly combined, add flour and baking soda. Then, mix in granola. You could add more dried cranberries if you want. Shape spoonfuls of dough into round mounds onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool, then enjoy!

Disclosure – I received a sample of Ola! to facilitate a review. All opinions are my own.

April 4, 2013 By 1 Comment

Ola Granola – A Healthy Treat and Cranberry Orange Pecan Scones Recipe – Coupon Code Included!

By: Ashley

I honestly can say that I love granola. I love granola plain, as cereal, in yogurt, and just recently I learned how to cook some new recipes using granola! I know that it’s possible to make your own granola at home, and someday I might try it. Until then, I like to look for the lower sugar, super natural ingredient, store bought granola. Good news for me is that there is some AWESOME granola out there like Ola 100% Natural Granola. When I got an email with the chance to try some samples of granola, I was actually pretty excited!

clip_image002

I absolutely love 3 things about Ola Granola. They started out as just a mom making granola blends as gifts to share with friends. Soon, she realized she had something great on her hands and started making Ola! a reality. I also love that their ingredients are completely natural. With so many products with so many ingredients out there, it’s nice to have a brand stick to things I can pronounce! Last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE that you can order Ola! Granola online. I used their store search tool on their website and unfortunately, no one near me carries it. That doesn’t mean I won’t be able to get it though! With online ordering available, anybody can have some Ola! Granola. They’ve even sent us a coupon code to share with you for free shipping! Just add the coupon code MSS2013 and your delicious order will come without shipping charges.

So what can you do with granola? There are some GREAT ideas on the Ola! website. I found a recipe for scones that I REALLY want to try. I wanted to make sure I shared it with you! You’ll also have to check out my recipe for Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies that I made with Ola! Granola. They were VERY tasty.

Cranberry Orange Pecan Scones Recipe from Ola!

You will need:
- 2 3/4 cups all- purpose flour
- 1/2 cup corn meal (white)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar + some for topping
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 to 2 sticks + sweet butter depends if you want really, really flaky scones use all 2 sticks of butter
- 2-2 1/2 cups Ola! Cranberry Orange Pecan Granola (one 9 ounce bag)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream + extra for topping
- pinch of cinnamon

Combine flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder & salt then cut in cold butter. This mixture will be course now add the Ola! Cranberry Orange Pecan Granola & heavy cream. Mix till all is combined. Next, shape the dough into three equal disks about one inch in height on parchment paper. Brush the top with heavy cream & melted butter then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. Then, cut each disk into four or eight triangles, separate the triangles on the parchment paper so they cook evenly. You can use a cookie cutter that is round if you want a uniform shape – but why bother

Preheat the oven to 400F. Bake 15- 18 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet. Serve warm or cool with jam, more butter or enjoy them alone with a cup of tea.

Roasted Brisket with Parsley, Mint and Thyme & Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookie Recipes

March 20, 2013 By 1 Comment

It’s time to get ready for Easter and planning a menu can be challenging if everyone is tired of ham. Whole Foods suggest that you might want to try a One Star Dish.

· Invest Your Time in a One Star Dish. Choose a main dish, appetizer or even a cocktail to be the star of your party and keep the rest simple.  For example:

o Passover, perhaps more than any other holiday, sticks to the script when it comes to the menu.  Here’s a simple yet classic recipe for Roasted Brisket with Parsley, Mint and Thyme.  Cap it off with some Chocolate Swirl Meringue Cookies, which are a perfect fit when it comes to baking without flour or leavening.

Roasted Brisket with Parsley, Mint and Thyme

Roasted Brisket with Parsley, Mint and Thyme

Ingredients:

  • 1 (4 pound) beef brisket, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup roughly chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season brisket all over with salt and pepper and arrange on a rack in a roasting pan; roast for 1 hour. Meanwhile, put parsley, mint, thyme, vinegar, pepper flakes, garlic, onion, salt and pepper into a food processor and pulse to make a thick paste; set aside.

After 1 hour, remove brisket from the oven; reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Carefully add broth to the pan, spread herb paste over brisket, cover the pan with foil and continue roasting, basting every 45 minutes or so until very tender, 2 to 3 hours more.

Transfer brisket to a platter; set aside to let rest for 10 minutes. Skim off and discard any fat from liquid in the pan. Trim brisket further, if desired, then thinly slice against the grain and spoon pan sauce over the top.
