Apple Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal! It’s on the men

Apple Gingerbread Baked Oatmeal! It’s on the menu today for my recipe segment on @amnorthwest this morning. This is fall in a baking dish, filled with apples and spices and hearty and healthy oatmeal. This is also a recipe my youngest gal used to refer to as “mom’s fancy oatmeal”. 😉

It’s just love and goodness and locally sourced ingredients that brings pure joy and delight to my tastebuds. You’ll find this luscious recipe in my book, THE OREGON FARM TABLE COOKBOOK. #oregonfarmtablecookbook #oregonfarm #cookbook #recipe #foodtv #recipesegment #apples #baking #fallfood

As soon as the weather begins to cool, and maybe even before I get my fall decor set up, I start thinking about these cookies. ORANGE GINGER COOKIES are the most delicious way to usher in fall. The lovely blend of citrus with spices and molasses make my kitchen smell amazing. Actually it makes me want to put on a sweater and light the fire place. 😉

Enjoy this lovely and fragrant recipe for the perfect fall treat!

Orange Gingerbread Cookies
Makes 20-24 cookies
Ingredients
½ cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup molasses
1 egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons orange zest
2 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup granulated or sanding sugar for rolling
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar. This will take about five
minutes.
Next, add the molasses. Then whisk together the egg and orange zest and add this to the butter mixture.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground ginger and cinnamon. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture and continue mixing until thoroughly combined.
Scoop tablespoon sized dough and form balls. Roll the dough balls in the sanding sugar and
then place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 10 minutes or until the tops are cracked. The cookies will be soft so let them
cool for 10 minutes to harden a bit. Serve room temperature. For optimum freshness, store in
a sealed container.

Made this lovely Chai Spiced Pumpkin Coffee Cake t

Made this lovely Chai Spiced Pumpkin Coffee Cake this morning. It’s from my book, The Oregon Farm Table Cookbook. One of my darling kiddos is home today and I thought we all needed a sweet gift from the kitchen. Something to lighten the mood and give us just a little food love.

Sending so much love, light and peace to everyone, especially my fellow Oregonians. It’s been a tough year - always know that my heart is with you. 🙏🏻❤️

Oregon nectarines are in season and I’m making my Five Spice Nectarine Chutney from my book, THE OREGON FARM TABLE COOKBOOK. It’s going to be perfect with our locally sourced grilled veggies and pork chops. 🙌

I’m going to share how I make this recipe on Thursday, September 10th Live on Facebook with my friend Chef Laurie Pfalzer, author of the book Simple Fruit. Laurie will be creating one of her recipes from the book as well. It’s definitely going to be a delicious live segment! I’ll post more next week.

Until then wishing you all a very happy and healthy holiday weekend! 😘🙏🏻
