Original recipe (1X) yields 50 servings

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
¾ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
¼ teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups sweetened, flaked coconut
2 cups sliced almonds
2 cups dried cherries
2 cups dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1 ½ (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk

Directions

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 13-by-9-inch Pyrex baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Stir in butter with a fork until well mixed and clumps have formed. Spread 1 1/2 packed cups of oat mixture over the bottom of the pan, pressing to form a thin crust.
Mix coconut, almonds, cherries, apricots and milk in a large bowl. Pour over crust, using a rubber spatula to evenly distribute and press down. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over dried fruit filling.
Bake until lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature. (You can cover and store at room temperature up to 2 days.)
To serve, cut into generous 1 1/2-inch squares.

Carrot, Apple, and Zucchini Muffins

I'm learning to eat a more healthy diet. I couldn't find a recipe for all the ingredients that I wanted in my muffins, so I made up my own. They're yummy and they have so many healthy ingredients! This recipe makes 24 muffins or 12 mini-loaves.

Pork Chop Stir-Fry

This tasty stir-fry is made with thinly sliced pork chops, loads of vegetables, garlic, ginger, and green onions in a sweet and savory sauce. It's so versatile and always turns out delicious!

Good New Orleans Creole Gumbo

I am going to give you my Creole gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a "pinch" of this and "just enough of that" and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread

I am going to show you how to make naan Chef John-style—when I want it fast and I don't want to use yeast and wait for a dough to rise but I also want it just as good as if I did. While I originally tried this method to save time, it produces what might be my favorite style of naan. It really is incredible whether you use garlic and green onions, or not. As naan are made, they must be stacked and wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and supple.

Smoked Citrus Goose Breast

Goose breast is marinated then smoked over a charcoal grill. If you don't have a smoker, regular grilling with propane or charcoal still tastes great! Mesquite chips can be used in place of the hickory if you prefer. Be sure to leave the vent open on your grill!
