1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all purpose flour (to avoid gluten use spelt flour)
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

If too dry, stir in a little additional water. If too wet, stir in a little additional flour. On a heavily floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll dough to between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rounds with 3-inch biscuit or cookie cutter. Place on cookie sheets and bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minuted, or until oatcakes are golden around the edges. If desired, brush with melted butter. Remove immediately to wire racks to cool.

Savory Pecan Roasted Chicken   

Source: Beth Frith

Ingredients:
whole roasting chicken
4 tbsp Blackbery Patch Roasted Pecan Syrup
4 tbsp melted margarine or butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed
1 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place whole chicken in roasting pan in oven, setting timer for 20 minutes. While chicken cooks, combine all other ingredients. After chicken has cooked for 20 minutes, take out of oven and brush mixture all over chicken to coat. Continue cooking for about 40 more minutes, depending on size of the chicken. Periodically, baste or brush with the mixture and meat juices from the roasting pan. Internal temperature should register at 165 degrees.

Note: The sugars in the Roasted Pecan Syrup will give the chicken a very nice golden glaze. If it appears that the chicken is browning too fast, cover with foil until about the last 15 minutes of roasting, then remove the foil allowing complete browning to take place.

Optional: Drippings from pan can be used for a savory gravy. Combine about 3 T. flour with 3/4 cup cold water and whisk together until smooth. Scrape pan drippings into saucepan. (If the baking pan used for roasting the chicken can be placed on top of two burners on the stove and heated, this can be used instead of an addtional pan. It avoids extra clean up and also preserves more of the drippings and flavorful bits of meat.) Add flour mixture to drippings adn heat, stirring constantly until thickened. If mixture becomes too thick, add addtional water or chicken stock. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Sweet Almond & Spicy Thai Chili Noodles   

Source: Tara Hendley

Ingredients:
1 lb Asian Lomein or rice noodles
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp curry
1/8 tsp lemon grass
1/2 tbsp chili pepper flakes
1 tbsp or 3 cloves of minced garlic
1/4 cup Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Hoisen Sauce
1/4 to 1/2 cup of Asian Wok oil or olive oil
1 1/2 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
1/4 tsp fish sauce (oil)
1 1/2 cup Blackberry Patch Toasted Almond Syrup
1/2 of a large sweet onion sliced very thin
1 small bag of fresh sugar pea pods
6 - 8 small sweet bonnet peppers sliced thin (NOT HOT, unless you like the heat.....it will be hot enough)
1/2 lb fresh sliced mushrooms (Shitake are best)
1/2 bag of angel shred cabbage (for coleslaw)
1/2 bag of broccoli slaw (in produce section)
1 small can of bamboo shoots
Salt and pepper to taste
Toasted sesame seeds and slivered almonds to garnish
Directions:

Start water boiling in a large pot for the noodles. You will need plenty of water....the noodles expand more than traditional Italian noodles. Cook according to package directions...but DO NOT over cook. Drain and rinse them very well with cold water. It is important to get them completely cooled off or they will get very strachy. Heat the oil in a large wok, hot enough that it spatters when you drip water in it. A really hot wok and oil are important to crisp the veggies so they do not get soggy. Add the garlic, onion, and peppers adn let them crisp up in the oil for about 3-5 minutes, be careful it will spatter. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cabbage, pea pods and broccoli slaw. Let this cook down some until the cabbage starts wilting; you still want your veggies to remain crisp. At this point you may need to drain the water that cooks off the veggies. Reduce heat to medium low and toss in the soy sauce, fish sauce, Hoisen sauce, chili sauce, and Blackberry Patch Almond Syrup and coat veggies well. Cook this only onlg enough to get it hot. Remove from heat and then toss in the curry powder, ginger, lemon grass, and chili flakes... these spices are delivate so they are added last. Now dump in your cooled noodles and toss well to coat everything...only after everythingis tossed together return to medium heat only long enough to warm the noodles back up. You'redone! Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and slivered almonds...you can even sprinkle on show chow mein noodles for texture. You can enjoy this dish cold as well!
