Kitchen Meets Culinary Clutz

Hip-Hip Hooray, It's Dr. Seuss' Birthday!! Today in school we will be having a celebration! We have streamers and balloons swooping down from our ceiling tiles.  All our OAAP (Oklahoma Alternative Assessment Program) lessons will be done in a Seussical Style! It's going to be a Fantabulous Day!!

As you all know I have a obsession with collecting cookbooks. I'm sure it doesn't surprise you that I have a Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook (by Georgeanne Brennan). Because of this exciting celebration I am going to share one recipe from my book!


1.        Preheat the oven to 300*F.
2.       In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice, oil honey, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. 
3.       Add the barley, rye quinoa, oat bran, and rolled oats.  Mix until all are well coated, using your hands if necessary.
4.       Spread on two larbe, ungreased baking sheets and bake until lightly toasted, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so.  Stir in the walnuts after about 30 minutes.
5.       Remove, let cool to room temperature, and stir in the raisins. (May be stored in airtight containers for up to three weeks.)
6.       Cut the banana in half and peel it.  Cut each half lengthwise to make 4 long slices.  If desired, heat in a frying pan or microwave.
7.       Put ¼ cup of granola in a bowl, top with half the yogurt, and add the banana slices.  Add another ¼ cup of granola and the remaining yogurt and top with the cherry.
