Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats

Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats 

I have to admit that on weekdays I am pretty lazy when I get up in the morning. I don't really want to go to a lot of faffing about when it comes to having breakfast.  I'm usually really really starving and more often than not will naughtily eat a piece of cake or some cookies. Not the healthiest way to start your day I know! 


Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats 

I think one of the reasons I am so hungry when I get up is because I don't eat anything in the evenings at all, nada, nothing . . .  zip . . . at least not past about 6 PM.  Its not that I am not hungry past that time.  I occasionally am.  But when you have gastric disease, you learn quickly that eating past a certain time of night is a necessary evil which can help to prevent a lot of discomfort later on.


Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats 

I am a huge fan of overnight oats.  Overnight oats  . . .  a bit of  fad with some perhaps, but they are one thing which helps me to behave better in the morning, and to eat much healthier.


Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats 

With a little prep the night before, I have a delicious and healthy breakfast waiting for me in the refrigerator.  Its win/win all round.

Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats 

I am particularly fond of this recipe, which tastes almost like one of my favourite things  . . . Cinnamon Rolls  . . . oh boy, who doesn't love those!

Overnight Cinnamon Roll Oats  

Okay so, yes  . . .  it is a bit of a stretch to compare the two . . .  perhaps the only thing they have in common is that lovely cinnamon flavour, and perhaps that cream cheese topping, but you have to pick your battles don't you, and this to me feels like a win.

I often enjoy this with a handful of berries on top, both blueberries and raspberries are very good.  I do recommend toasting the nuts first.  They are just somehow nuttier and tastier if you do!  Good morning!

Angel Cake

  Angel Cake is a completely different cake over here in the UK as compared to what I thought of as an Angel Cake when I was growing up. (Angel Food Cake)  North American Angel Food Cake is very light and airy, made with only egg whites, sugar, flour and no fat, and baked in a straight sided tube tin!  Angel Cake here is a  sponge cake about the size of a loaf, with three distinct and separate coloured layers.  White, pink and yellow.  Sandwiched together with vanilla butter cream.  Its quite nice, and something we quite like in our home from time to time.   Its really not that difficult to make, but you will need either 3 loaf tins the same size, or a larger cake tin that you can divide into three.   Children love this cake because of the colours . . .  and basically it is the same cake batter for each, just tinted separately for each layer.  The power of suggestion makes it taste better than a normal cake.  What is it they sa...

Classic English Scones - A Complete Tutorial

  No English Tea Party would be complete without a tray of beautiful Scones.  Is it scone that rhymes with on, or is it scone that rhymes with stone??  Who knows. It sounds mighty delicious no matter which way you say it. If asked what the difference between a scone and a North American baking powder biscuit is, I would have to say first and foremost, it is in the preparation.  I thought it would be fun today to do a tutorial for you on how to prepare and bake the classic English scone.   North American baking powder biscuits generally use all vegetable fat, and sometimes cream . . . scones usually use all butter, and sometimes butter and cream.  The two things are not the same thing at all, no matter how similar they might look.  Scones are sweeter as well, which makes them perfect for enjoying with a hot cuppa.   The first thing you will want to do is to sift your flour baking powder and salt into a bowl  I find that aerating the flou...

The Great British Sausage - A Tutorial

  Sausage wasn't something I enjoyed very much when I was growing up. I am not sure why.  I never really began to enjoy them at all until I was a grown woman and cooking my own.  I liked them almost burnt on the outside with catsup for dipping. My father enjoyed them dipped in mayonnaise.  As a child growing up in Canada, in my experience at least, there was only one kind of sausage.  Ordinary breakfast sausage, long thin cylinders of meat, stuffed into skins, fatty and flavoured with nutmeg and poultry seasoning. That was it. Growing up in the 50's /60's and early 70's in small communities meant that we were not exposed to outside flavours or choices.  We had what we had, and that was that. It was not until I was an adult that I experienced another kind of sausage. My sister-in-law who lived in Toronto had studied at the Cordon Bleu and was considered to be an expert in cooking.  We spent the weekend at hers once, and she cooked sausages for us for br...
