Homemade Granola

Slightly modified version of Jessica Adler's recipe.

4 cups oats

1/8 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

cinnamon (calls for 1/2 tsp - I put a lot more!)

2 tsp vanilla

4 tbsp oil

4 tbsp honey

Put it on 350 for about 15 minutes. After it's cooked, add dried fruit, nuts, seeds, etc. (I add sunflower seeds and raisins.)

Carrot Muffins

This was Sarah's Carrot Kugel Recipe - which I modified and made into muffins.

8 ounce baby food carrot (2 jars)
1 cup whole wheat flour
 1/3 cup honey
One and half teaspoons baking powder
Half cup oil
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Mix. Put into muffin tins.
Makes 12 muffins.  

Bake at 350 (I usually start it at 25 minutes and then check to see if I need to add more time). 

Sesame beef

1 lb meat strips
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Mix together meat strips with the next 6 ingredients in a bowl.  Stir until beef is well coated.

Cover and refigerate for 30 minutes (optional).

Stir in sesame seeds.

Bake at 350 for approx. 45 minutes or until done.
