Soaked Baked Good

Pumpkin Maple Baked Oatmeal

October 30, 2013 by Marillyn Beard 23 Comments

What about starting your day with a spiced pumpkin oatmeal bake, delicately laced with maple syrup and served warm? I don’t know about you, but that would help brace me for the upcoming day.

Breakfast is commonly a haste-driven affair of cold cereal, pre-bought baked goods, or frozen waffles. But breakfast can both treat your body – and your wallet – better. We like to enjoy soaked oatmeal, quinoa porridge, and  congee for breakfast, for example. I hosted an “Oatmeal Challenge” several years ago on this blog where my family ate oatmeal everyday for a week for breakfast to save us money!

I found that by starting our day with a very frugal food, we were able to save some needed money from our food budget. So for this week’s 52 tips for saving money on a healthy diet, consider your breakfast! When priced out, you just may be surprised at how well you can eat and how much you can save. And the following recipe is  yet another example of a delicious, nourishing breakfast. -Kimi 

My family loves a good baked oatmeal. It’s a frugal, hearty & nourishing way to start off our day… plus, the leftovers make great snacks, warm & cold. Baked oatmeal is awesome for making my mornings easy, especially on busy days or when I need a little extra sleep.

I typically like to prep it the night before and my hubby just pops it in the oven early in the morning (wondering how I plan ahead to accomplish that? Read my notes below in the recipe!). This is a great way for my husband to get the kids fed without needing to wake me up. Ahem, yeah, I’m not a morning person!  To make this a truly nourishing breakfast… I always soak the rolled oats for 12-24 hours and use nuts or seeds that have been soaked & dehydrated. With everything properly prepared, we can start off our day feeling good instead of feeling like bricks are sitting in our tummies.

I like to make baked oatmeal at least once a week and have created a variety of flavors. Our favorites right now are Spiced Cranberry Apple and Strawberry Pineapple. Now, we are adding Pumpkin Maple onto the list of favorites! The comforting combination of fresh pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin seeds & cinnamon truly reflect the flavors of Autumn. You will find this baked oatmeal lightly sweet with a kick of  cinnamon and vanilla along with a nice hint of pumpkin. …

A Frugal 3 Year’s Old Birthday (Spelt and Rosemary Cracker Recipe)

September 30, 2009 by KimiHarris 29 Comments

Pennywise Platter Thursday is tomorrow! Get your frugal tips and recipes ready!

I wanted to have something easy to do ahead, frugal and fun for Elena’s recent birthday party, and I stumbled upon a fun and age appropriate theme-crackers!

Elena and I made spelt crackers (soaked overnight), making some of them spiked with rosemary for the more sophisticated palate. We brought a tub of almond butter and everyone else brought toppings for the crackers (cheese, deli meat, crab dip, salami). I think it kept both the adults and the little kids happy.

And the crackers were a success with everyone too! Because they are soaked overnight, they are easier to digest and more nutritious. It’s also significantly cheaper to make your own. And it doesn’t hurt that everyone loves homemade crackers!

$5 Dish: Cherry Clafouti (Soaked Grain and Dairy Free)

June 29, 2009 by KimiHarris 25 Comments

ng_cherryclafouti
Bright cherries grace a rich custard like batter for a delicious dessert that is easy on the pocketbook but beautiful and satisfying. Gourmet food at it’s best!

This is version two of cherry clafouti! Some of you were asking for a more traditional clafouti and here it is!

My husband and I were trying to decide which version we liked better, this one, or the coconut flour one. We decided we like both of them a lot, but I think we may lean towards liking this one the best because the custardy texture is so nice. I, by the way, thought it was a little too sweet, but of course, my husband didn’t think so! If I was making it for myself, I would cut back the sweetener just a bit. But he likes desserts nice and sweet.

Brownie Pudding Cake (Dairy free and Soaked)

June 2, 2009 by KimiHarris 61 Comments

ng_browniepudding
This delicious brownie pudding is made up of two layers, a thin brownie like top layer and a gooey, chocolate sauce beneath. Decadent, delicious, fit for company, whole grain,  sweetened with honey, simple to make and….. even better, frugal! I have adapted this recipe from a Better Homes and Garden recipe that originally came out in 1945. It seems like a lot of recipes from that era are very frugal and this recipe is so exception.

We actually grew up eating the original recipe (which used brown sugar and white flour) quite often as it was a family favorite. My older sister and I seemed to have developed a great love for it, because it’s still one of our favorites!
