Baked Breakfast Apples

 

1 small Golden Delicious apple, cored

1 tbs raisins

2 tbs old-fashioned oats

2 tbs apple juice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup nonfat ricotta cheese

 

Place the apple in a microwaveable bowl. Mix together

oats, cinnamon and raisins. Fill the cavity of the cored

apple with the mixture. Pour the apple juice over the

apple and cover it with plastic wrap. Microwave on high

for one minute. Turn the dish around halfway and microwave

for one minute more. Spoon the ricotta cheese onto a plate

and top it with the apple and the heated juice mixture.

Buttermilk Pancakes

 

1 cup cake or all-purpose flour

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup buttermilk

2 tbs melted butter

 

Sift the dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add

the wet ingredients and stir gently just until

incorporated; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Drop

batter onto a hot griddle and cook until the bubbles on

top have burst, forming small craters. Flip and cook until

golden brown. Makes about ten 4-inch pancakes.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is

carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a

life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
