Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar, divided

  • ¾ cup margarine

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup molasses

  • 2 cups oat flour

  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Beat 1 cup sugar and margarine together in a medium bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and molasses until well blended.

  3. Combine oat flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom in another bowl; stir into the molasses mixture to form a dough.

You can make oat flour by grinding old-fashioned oats.

Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

This shrimp with lobster sauce is just like what you'd find at a Chinese restaurant that serves Cantonese cuisine. Despite the name, there's no lobster in the sauce. Serve over white rice.

Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot)

Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot)

Here is a great recipe for authentic German Sourdough Bread. This bread tastes almost exactly like the bread we buy back home in Bavaria, Germany. There, to this day, they bake their bread in a very old stone oven in the middle of a small village, once every 2 weeks. They bake a whole bunch at once, and then you can buy it and freeze extras until the next baking day. It's the best German bread I know!

Simple Apricot-Glazed Meatloaf

Simple Apricot-Glazed Meatloaf

I know everyone says their mum's meatloaf is the best and I agree — my mum's recipe is the best! This apricot meatloaf has been one of my favorites since my childhood. While I love it served fresh and hot, a good next-day meatloaf sandwich is also a comfort food. I serve it with a nice arugula salad with cherry tomatoes, raisins, chopped walnuts, and vinaigrette dressing. Or for a Southern flare, serve with garlic-smashed potatoes and freshly steamed snap green beans. Just yummy deliciousness — Mum is always right!
