Without much further ado, let me find Brent and have him draw a name out of a container.
And the winner is: Katherine from Yellow Rose Arbor. Her comment about the posted recipe for Oatmeal, Date, and Cinnamon Scones read ~
"I think I'll make these tonight, I've been wanting something special to have for breakfast, and these should be healthy! Katherine"
Later I received this email from her. I love it when cooks are ingenious and start subbing different ingredients for the things they don't have:

Later I received this email from her. I love it when cooks are ingenious and start subbing different ingredients for the things they don't have:
"This morning I made scones, but last night when I started trying to put the dry ingredients together I found I didn't have enough of the required ingredients. I only had 1/2 cup WW flour. I don't remember using it up and haven't bought more. I also didn't have dates, or the soy milk. So I sorta used that recipe, but probably created a new recipe. This is what I did: I reversed the flour, using the 1/2 cup WW flour, and the larger amount of the plain flour. I subbed regular milk, 2% instead of the soy. And for the dates, you'll never guess what I did, something I've never done before, it just came to me! I have a Claxton's fruit cake here, do you know what they are? I chopped slices of it up and used that for the dates! LOL! It turned out pretty good!"
Wasn't she creative? That's what healthy cooking is all about!
Congratulations, Katherine, for being drawn for Gracious Hospitality's celebration of National Hot Tea Month!

Congratulations to Katherine!
ReplyDeleteNo soy milk here either and no dates so I used figs. I really had no idea that they weren't one and the same. Anyway, that recipe is staying in the cookbook as we both loved it!
Oh, if I couldn't win I'm so thrilled one of my friends was the winner! Congratulations to Katherine. This was a fun give-away. Thanks for doing it. ~Adrienne~

Ever give any thought to organizing some type of tea-related swap this spring? It would be a fun follow-up to your blog-a-thon of last year.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Katherine. She is the perfect tea lady to win. I never would have thought of using the fruit cake ingredient. Very clever!
