How to Make Overnight Steel Cut Oats in the Crock Pot

This recipe for Crock Pot overnight steel cut oatmeal is so easy, and it makes the smoothest and creamiest oatmeal with no stirring required. Just top them with your favorite fruit, jam, or other toppings.

What are steel cut oats? 

Steel cut oats are whole oats that are cut into smaller pieces rather than "rolled." They are wonderful for a "stick-to-your-ribs" breakfast that will keep you feeling full for hours. They are also loaded with fiber. The negative is that they take longer to cook than rolled oats, up to an hour.

Lightened Up Green Goddess Dip

This lightened up green goddess dip is loaded with tons of fresh green herbs, including basil, chives, tarragon, and parsley. I love the green color.

This dip is a take on green goddess salad dressing, which was pretty popular in the 1970s (during the hippy crunchy granola days of eating nuts and alfalfa sprouts).

Steamed Piglet Buns

These steamed piglet buns, with a barbecue pork filling, are such a cute surprise emerging from your bamboo steamer basket! 

This was my first time making these little steamed piggy buns, but they were easier to make than I expected. I had a little bit of experience making steamed buns and I made the same dough that I used for these steamed buns.

Delicata Squash Fries with Chipotle Garlic Dipping Sauce

These Delicata Squash Fries are roasted in a hot oven until tender crisp, and then served with an awesome Chipotle Garlic Dipping Sauce. You won't be able to stop eating them.

Have you ever cooked with Delicata squash? I had never tried cooking with it until I made these "fries."

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Bread

This old fashioned oatmeal bread is a lot like Anadama Bread (an old fashioned New England bread) except with oats instead of cornmeal.

A Year of Stir-Fries - and My Favorite Recipes for 2018

To kick off the New Year, I am sharing my most popular bread recipes, my favorite recipes, as well as my favorite stir-fries. 

Every year, I participate in a group called Wok Wednesdays. 

It is a group of people who virtually get together on Facebook and make the same wok dishes each month. We are currently working our way through Grace Young's book, The Breath of a Wok, after having completed Grace's Stir Frying to the Sky's Edge.
