Amish- or Pennsylvania Dutch-style baked oatmeal is buttery and a little like oatmeal cookies or granola. Another style is creamy and porridge-like with a lovely brown sugar layer on top. Both are good in their own way, so here are recipes for each.
In case you’re among the few people who don’t have the recipe for ever-popular, easy-to-make seven layer bars, here it is. You can make these bars gluten-free by substituting ground-up sorghum crackers for the graham cracker crumbs. Instructions are also included for making the bars dairy-free.
These graham-like crackers are made with sorghum flour. You might call them “sor-graham” crackers. Homemade graham crackers have wonderful, complex flavors of wheat germ and bran that are unique to wheat. These sorghum crackers have a nice bright flavor from the sorghum flour.
So many foods are better homemade. Store-bought graham crackers are OK for crumb crusts and even s’mores, but they don’t have a lot of flavor on their own. These homemade graham crackers made with fresh butter and hearty, nutty stone ground graham flour are quite tasty and enjoyable as a standalone snack.
With this post I hope to inspire you to make your own salad dressings. Homemade dressings are flavorful and fresh and can add variety and interest to greens so they won’t be just a healthy obligation but something you’ll look forward to.
