The Kitchn looked at make-ahead breakfasts this past week, and pointed me toward this recipe at Chocolate & Zucchini for Oatmeal Clafoutis.

Monthly Archives: April 2009This past Saturday I joined students, parents and chefs at CHIC to watch 25 talented high school seniors compete in the 16th annual Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) Chicago Cooking Competition. This inspiring nonprofit helps public high school students train and compete for scholarships to renowned culinary schools. In addition to Chicago, C-CAP has programs in Arizona, Virginia, Los […] show 3 comments This is great, thanks so much for posting about it. It is good to find pro-food stuff happening around Chicago. You’re welcome Tim. It was very neat event to be asked to cover. It is truly a great organization. Culinary institutes provide online chef classes to their student that is very effective for many people to learn in their homes. They offer them all essential skills, training and educational requirements to make them chef. There are several online degree programs and online chef training programs that are conducted to help students who want to make their career in food industry as chefs. This week marks a year since I began running. I've come along way from huffing and puffing to get through a mile and a half. With support from friends, family and even some of you lovely readers, I participated in the AIDS Marathon training program last summer to run the Chicago Half Marathon. This weekend I am […] show 16 comments What a great drink recipe and good luck in your future races!! What a great drink recipe and good luck in your future races!! Yum yum!

I'm looking forward to seeing Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park at our beautiful local Opera House with my mother, going for a long run on low-traffic rural roads, meeting the new baby my cousin and his wife recently added to the family, and spending […] show 4 comments That tsoureki is my favorite thing ever. I go back and look at the picture in the original post more than I would like to admit. One day, I will have the courage to bake it. I’m glad you’ve got the Greek Easter bread. I only hope mine will look as nice as yours. What great recipe ideas! The beet, arugula and goat cheese crostini looks like a great side! That’s sweet Jen. I bet you’d make a stellar loaf! When the sweet, late-spring carrots start arriving at your local market, consider these delicious cupcakes. While any old carrot will do, try finding small, fresh bunches with their greens still attached for a flavorful, seasonal treat. This recipe was inspired by an older Cook's Illustrated recipe for carrot cake that called for emulsifying the […] show 10 comments These look great! Also, it’s maple syrup season, so this is a great way to use maple. Carrot and maple! Fantastic combination. I roast carrots and beets with maple syrup but never thought to use the two in a sweet dish. Carrot and maple! Fantastic combination.

kickpleat - I’ve tried something very similar but I love calling it a clafoutis…so much more exotic sounding than baked oatmeal with eggs!

Susan - Do you think all the sugar the recipe calls for is necessary? It seems like a lot. I wonder if you could get away with less?

gemma - Hi Susan. I didn’t try it with less so I’m not certain, but in my experience sugar is one of those ingredients that you can tamper with a bit before you really damage the integrity of the recipe. Good luck finding the palace you are looking for.
Thank you Dawn!
