Amish Baked Oatmeal with Slow Cooker Applesauce

February 12, 2014

One of my favorite breakfast dishes that I make anytime there is a breakfast pitch-in is Amish Baked Oatmeal. Every time I bring it people request the recipe.

It’s easy to customize! You can add in fruit like I did, but I’ve also made it without and later topped it with banana slices and a little maple syrup. Today I am going to share with you my favorite way to eat it.

That’s right! Amish Baked Oatmeal Topped with Slow Cooker Applesauce. Say it with me. Mmmmm….. 🙂

The ingredients are simple.

Prep takes just about 5 minutes.

And when it comes out of the oven it’s like a yummy, baked granola. (Which just happens to be how I like my oatmeal!)

Eat it plain, drizzle a little Maple Syrup on it or

Top it with something delicious! (Like Slow Cooker Applesauce!)

This is sure to become a favorite recipe!

Mountain Man Breakfast recipe – a camping breakfast must

June 21, 2012

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Turkey Run State Park to go camping with my mom, step-dad, brother and sister. The weather was perfect – upper 70’s low 80’s, the bugs stayed away and the trails there are some of the best around. Nice and rugged just how we like them!

(P.S. If you are just here for the recipe scroll down!)

Some of the trails

Ah. The ladder trail. The kid’s loved it. We hiked up the ladders which I think was much easier than if we had to hike down them!

Here’s my mom hiking up the ladder! Woo hoo!

It was so beautiful there!

My little sister and step-dad climbing down.

The kids were pretty worn out by the end of the day. My little brother barely made it back to the camp site!

Of course we had to make s’mores!

It was a great couple days. Fun to get out and do stuff. Nice to hang out with family. And guess what? I didn’t have to cook! WOO HOO!!!!

Here is a recipe for a breakfast my mom made while we camping. It’s called The Mountain Man Breakfast and you make it in the dutch oven. The recipe I have says it can be made in a regular oven as well. This is a must have if you are feeding a crowd! It’s a big one!

Ingredients:

1/2 pound bacon

1/2 pound sage sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 medium onion, diced

1 2-pound bag hash brown potatoes, diced

1/2 pound extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 dozen eggs

Prep:

Pre-heat Dutch oven, 6-9 bottom coals and 12-15 top coals. Slice bacon and onion into small pieces, and brown in the bottom of the Dutch oven until onions are clear. Stir in the hash brown potatoes and cover. Remove cover and stir occasionally to brown potatoes (15-20 minutes). Scramble the eggs in a separate container and pour the mixture over the hash browns. Cover and cook until eggs start to set (10-15 minutes). Sprinkle grated cheese over egg mixture, cover, and continue heating until eggs are completely set and cheese is melted. Slice and serve.

Or cook in a large flat baking dish 350 degrees for about 15 minutes if you are making it at home!

Monkey Bread Recipe

Sunday mornings in our house are for a few things. Sleeping in (well, for us!), church, and football. I usually make my meal plan for the week and do some laundry, but really, Sunday is our day to just chill. The last thing that I want to be doing is cooking up a storm…dirtying up 100 million dishes (ok, maybe that is a slight exaggeration) or making something super fancy that the kids are going to take one look at and say ‘Um, thanks but no thanks.’

Enter: Monkey Bread. Mmmm. A favorite in our house. Made every great once in a while because, well, it is addicting – you can’t just have one bite. And I’m not sure, but pretty positive that it’s not the healthiest thing out there.

This monkey bread recipe is so good! And super easy. And it will make your kid’s (or husband’s) day. And everyone (even the pickiest ones) eat it up. Which trust me….is a rare occurrence! When I manage to find something easy to make that everyone will eat….I hold on to it! Those recipes are like unicorns – heard of, but rarely seen. 🙂
