Hi!

Linda Hill had requested a good oatmeal cookie recipe using
butter. This is our secret weapon, our family recipe named
for my daughter, as she was the first to come up with the
basics which she and I then developed from there.
You can use anything from butter, to margarine to
shortening, although we like butter best...and this is the
first time we have ever shared it... The only thing we ask
is that you retain the name, out of respect to my family.
Thanks, Sara

Blythe's Oatmeal Cookies

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla (you can add more, if you like!)

1 1/2 c. flour
1 t. salt
1 t. soda
optional addition: 3/4 to 1 t. cinnamon

3 c. quick oats
1 c. chopped nuts (also optional - we sometimes go plain,
do 1/2 c. nuts and
1/2 c. raisins

or currants, do all currants or raisins or
another chopped, dried fruit, raisins and/or currants
soaked in rum or another favorite 'spirit' can be
a nice flavor treat; or add chocolate or other
chips, flaked coconut, or a combination of any...your
imagination is your only limitation.)

Cream butter and sugars. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Mix
together flour, salt, soda (and optional cinnamon). Fold
into creamed mixture. Stir in oats (and
any other 'additives'). Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased
cookie sheet (or, if you want exact sizes, roll in
uniform balls and place onto greased cookie
sheet, flatten with a fork). Bake at 350 for about 8 - 10
minutes, if you like them chewy, or 12 - 15 if you prefer
crispy. One of our favorite ways of using this recipe is
making ice cream sandwiches with our favorite ice cream
between the chewy version. It is a birthday tradition at
our house. You can also make refrigerator cookies by
forming the dough into rolls 1 1/2-inch thick, wrap in
plastic wrap or waxed paper and chill thoroughly. Just
before baking, slice 1/4-inch thick and place on greased
cookie sheet. Bake as before. Enjoy!

Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bushman Bread


Ingredients For The Dough:

1 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
2 cups bread flour
1 2/3 cups wheat flour
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 pkg.) yeast


Ingredients For Coloring Dough:

1/4 cup water
75 drops red food coloring
45 drops blue food coloring
30 drops yellow food coloring
Cornmeal for dusting

1. If using a bread machine, add all of the ingredients for
the dough in the exact order listed into the pan of your
machine. Set it on 'knead' and when the machine begins to
mix the dough, combine the food coloring with 1/4 cup of
water and drizzle it into the mixture as it combines.
After the dough is created let it rest to rise for an hour
or so. Then remove it from the pan and go to step #3.


2. If you are not using a bread machine, combine the flours,
cocoa powder, sugar, coffee and salt in large bowl. Make a
depression or 'well' in the middle of the dry mixture. Pour
the warm water into this 'well,' then add the butter, honey
and yeast. Combine the food coloring drops with 1/4 cup of
water and add that to the 'well.' Slowly mix the
ingredients with a spoon, drawing the dry ingredients into
the wet. When you can handle the dough, begin to combine it
by hand, kneading the dough thoroughly for at least ten
minutes, until it is very smooth and has a consistent color.
Set the dough into a covered bowl in a warm place for an
hour, to allow it to rise.


3. When the dough has risen to about double in size, punch
it down and divide it into 8 even portions (divide dough
in half, divide those halves in half, and then once more).
Form the portions into tubular shaped loaves about 8 inches
long and 2 inches wide. Sprinkle the entire surface of the
loaves with cornmeal and place them on a cookie sheet, or
two. Cover the cookie sheet(s) with plastic wrap and let
the dough rise once more for another hour in a warm
location.


4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dough and
bake it for 20-24 minutes in the hot oven. Loaves should
begin to darken slightly on top when done. Serve warm with
a sharp bread knife and butter on the side. If you want
whipped butter, like you get at the restaurant, just use
an electric mixer on high speed to whip some butter until
it's fluffy.

Makes 8 small loaves.

"Hi Willie;
Just wanted to write and let you know we are enjoying the cookbook
very much. We tried the macaroni and cheese last night and boy was it
good. So far my wife's favorite has been the fried green tomatoes.

I can't wait to try the baby back ribs...grin.

Thanks again for some great eating!

"Willie,
I was really suprised to see you published your pork barbecue recipe right in your cookbook. So many people won't share their with anybody. I cooked half a pig overnight, following your instructions exactly. It turned out perfect! I can see myself making a little extra money selling bbq meals from my house.

Thanks again man.

"Willie,
I fixed your pulled pork barbecue yesterday!
It tastes just like the stuff I remember when
I traveled through Virginia and North Carolina
years ago.

Thanks for bringing back great memories :0)
