I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Hot Honey Granola

½ cup Neutral Oil (Vegetable, Coconut, or Canola)
⅓ cup Honey
2 Tbsp Hot Sauce (such as Crystal)
1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
⅛ tsp Black Pepper
¾ tsp Paprika
2 cups Protein Oats
1 cup Organic Pumpkin Seeds
2 Tbsp White Sesame Seeds
1 Tbsp Organic Flaxseeds
2 Tbsp Organic Chia Seeds
2 Tbsp Organic Flaxseed Meal
¾ tsp Salt

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan, combine oil, honey, hot sauce and spices. Heat over medium, whisking until smooth and combined.  Add oats, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseed, chia seeds, flaxseed meal and salt to a large bowl; toss to combine.  Pour the warm honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until fully coated.

Spread evenly on prepared pan. Bake 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and toasty.  Cool completely. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
