Tomato Sweet-and-Sour, with Swedish-style meatballs

In a nutshell, this is what happens when Swedes and Italians get together. Sorry, I don't have any pictures. ( more... )

Oat Rolls

[milenaa]

I recently found a great recipe for oat bread that was originally meant for a bread machine. I tried making it with in a regular oven and eventually started making rolls out of the same basic recipe that turned out to be really tasty.

I make the dough in a food processor so the oats are completely ground to bits. If don't want to get your food processor super messy like that you could probably grind just the oats and then mix the dough by hand or experiment with leaving the oats whole.

Boston-style baked beans

[esteleth]

This is an old family recipe, handed down down. Can be made either in a crockpot or in a true bean pot in the oven. As listed, this is not vegetarian, but it can easily become so by the use of a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (a good recipe for this can be found here.) Also, by substituting margarine for butter, this recipe becomes vegan.
Good with kielbasa on the side, and dark molasses bread. The best beans to use with this recipe are Jacob's cattle beans (aka trout or Dalmatian beans), but these can be difficult to find. If those are not available, use navy beans.
( Food behind the cut )

This dish can be used as both an entree (in which case it feeds 7) or as a side dish (in which case it feeds many more). While this takes >14 hours to prepare, it only involves about 1 hour of actual work and is quite simple to prepare.
