Pepper 170 g/6 oz Tin When it comes to the world's most important spice, you might as well use the best.

Crockpot Oatmeal
1 cup steel cut oats In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours. Stir and serve.
Crockpot Morning Casserole (Bacon or Ham, Eggs, and Hashbrowns)
1 bag (32 oz.) frozen hash brown potatoes Place a layer of frozen potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by a layer of bacon then onions, green pepper and cheese. Repeat the layering process two or three more times, ending with a layer of cheese. Beat the eggs, milk and salt and pepper together. Pour over the Crockpot mixture, cover and turn on low. Cook for 10-12 hours. Apple French Toast with Cinnamon Sauce
4 eggs Preheat oven to 375 F. To prepare toast, wisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Dip bread into mixture, coating both sides, allowing bread to soak up mixture. Place bread in single layer on baking sheets brushed with butter to prevent sticking. Bake for 12 minutes, turn bread over, and bake another 12 minutes or until brown and puffy. Sauce
2 teaspoons butter To prepare sauce, mix butter and sugar in saucepan and cook until butter is melted. Add water, cinnamon, and apples. Cook on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until apples are tender. To serve, arrange toast on plate, top with sauce.
Italian Zucchini Crescent Pie
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Hushpuppy Muffins
2/3 cup yellow or white cornmeal Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside. Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine egg whites, onion, milk, parsley, oil and pepper; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Spoon into prepared muffin tins. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 1 dozen muffins.
Chicken Fajitas
5 tablespoon canola oil Mix together 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, cumin, cilantro and cayenne in a small glass dish. Add chicken to mixture and toss to coat completely. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. Over medium high heat in a wok or large pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil until very hot. Add marinaded chicken and stir-fry over high heat until chicken is white throughout. Place on plate and set aside. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to wok or pan and heat until very hot. Add peppers, onion, and garlic; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Return chicken and season with pepper. Toss until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, jalepenos or guacamole.
Almond-Apple Coffee Cake
1-1/2 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples Glaze
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar In a large saucepan, combine the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and apple pie spice. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until syrup is thickened and apples are tender, stirring occasionally. In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Spoon batter into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Arrange apple mixture over top; sprinkle with almonds. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Remove sides of pan. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over top. Yield: 8 servings.
You are probably tired of me writing about the Mourning Doves in our yard but I must tell you what happened yesterday! We have a nest on the ledge near our front door. It's out of the way and high enough that the birds feel safe and no one going in or out of our front door is bothered. The Mourning Doves built this nest last year and raised two baby doves. It must be a good place for a nest because we've had three Mourning Dove families raised there this spring and summer. The first family raised two baby birds. The second family hatched one baby bird. And the third hatching had two baby birds. I look out every morning to see how much they've grown. Well, yesterday when I looked out, one of the baby birds was sitting on the ground and the other baby was in the nest with its mother. My husband and I decided to put the baby bird back in the nest, so we drug out the ladder. I picked up the baby bird and was just about to put it in the nest when the mother bird flew out of the nest and the baby bird tried to fly but fell to the ground. I was so startled that I dropped the baby bird that I was holding. By the time I climbed down the ladder we couldn't see either baby bird and the mother bird was flapping around on the ground pretending to have a broken wing. Birds really use this defense mechanism. We looked around and couldn't find the baby birds so went back in the house thinking that our good deed was not so good after all and a little sad that something might happend to the baby birds. Later that day I looked out around our front door and found the two baby doves and two adult doves huddled together on the ground. I had no idea that Mourning Doves were so devoted. Somehow the adult doves had found the baby birds and hurded them together. This morning when I looked outside I didn't see them at first. The sprinklers had been on so the birds were forced to move. I saw two baby birds and an adult bird sunning themselves a few feet away. Visit my birdwatching blog California Birdwatching for pictures of my backyard friends.
