Winter
is the perfect time to celebrate family recipes. My recipe is a jazzed-up
version from my family collection, and NBC5’s Todd Wallace and James Aydelott
each share a family recipe as well. Share some of your favorite recipes with
family and friends.
2
cups corn flakes cereal
1/4
cup grated Parmesan cheese
1
teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
1/4
cup milk
1
pound boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1
tablespoon olive oil
Place corn flakes in a food storage bag and using your hands or a rolling pin, crush the corn flakes. Place crushed corn flakes in a shallow bowl along with Parmesan cheese and all-purpose seasoning, stirring to combine. Pour the milk into a separate shallow bowl. Rinse chicken breasts under cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel. Dip chicken breasts in the milk, then in corn flakes, and place in an 8-inch nonstick baking pan. Drizzle olive oil over the top and bake at 375° F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Enjoy

Oatmeal with Dried Fruit
Serves 2
Start
your day with a delicious, health-minded breakfast. Especially good for a chilly
winter day!
1
3/4 cups water
1/2
cup steel cut oats
1/2
cup dried fruit
1
tablespoon honey
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Bring
water to a boil in a saucepan. Add oats, dried fruit, honey, cinnamon, and
nutmeg. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it
reaches the desired consistency. Remove pan from heat and cover. Let stand 3 to
5 minutes or until it thickens to your liking. Serve with lowfat or fat-free
milk, if desired.
Notes:
Use any dried fruit you desire: cranberries, raisins, apples, dates, apricots, peaches, pears, bananas, etc.
Whole grain groats (inner portion of the oat kernel) that are cut into pieces using steel discs are known as steel cut oats. Compared to rolled oats, they are minimally processed, and have a delicious taste and texture.

Herbed Outback Bread
Makes 1 loaf
Here’s a wonderful, easy-to-make homemade bread with origins from Aboriginal Australia where it is known as damper. Enjoy this hot from the oven with honey or jam.
4
cups self-rising flour
1
tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2
teaspoons garlic powder
1
cup milk
1/2
cup water
2
tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon honey
Preheat oven to 375°F. Measure flour into a medium bowl. Add chopped fresh rosemary and garlic powder, and stir to combine. Make a well in the center. Pour milk, water, butter, and honey into the center. Begin stirring the liquid, incorporating the flour gradually, until mixture becomes a slightly sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and using your hands, knead lightly for 10 to 15 seconds. Shape dough into a ball and place in a 10-inch round cake pan (or on a baking sheet) that has been lightly sprayed with vegetable oil spray. Using your hands, flatten loaf slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut a cross into the top of the loaf. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
