My mother's recipe, likely adapted from Somewhere On The Internet
===

Start your oven preheating to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large dutch oven, or other oven-safe pot (must be able to hold at least 13 cups with room to stir without spilling):

Heat low a mixture of:
- 1/2 cup oil (canola or safflower)
- 1/2 cup of honey
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla

Continue to heat and alternate adding + stirring in:
- 1 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup chia seeds
- 1 cup flax seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 7 cups oats

Put into the oven for fifteen minutes; pull out and stir; put back into the oven for another 15 minutes, etc. Continue to cycle for 45-60 minutes, or until well browned but not burnt.

Allow to thoroughly cool. Store in glass. (I usually end up with multiple jars.) 1/2 cup of the result with milk and some fresh fruit is a pretty great breakfast.

The original Cooks.com recipe goes as follows:
BLUEBERRY PEACH CRISP

1 1/2 pkg. frozen blueberries
1 c. oats
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/2 c. brown sugar or honey
1/4 c. nuts
1 pkg. frozen peaches
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. sesame seeds

Butter a 9 x 13 inch pan, cover with blueberries and peaches. Combine remaining ingredients, sprinkle over fruit. Pat down. Bake at 350 degrees 20 to 25 minutes or until brown, and peaches are soft.
If using fresh fruit, as I did in the photo of the crisp-in-progress above, use about 6-7 ripe peaches and 1/3 - 1/2 quart of blueberries. If you're feeling adventurous & want to try a different fruit combo, I suspect 6 pears, peeled and sliced, 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger, and (optional) a handful or two of raisins would work well.

What's especially lovely about this particular recipe is the particular combination of ingredients for the topping. It's relatively light on butter, yet the nuts (I usually use pecans) & sesame seeds keep it very satisfying. All in all, easy prep and a reliably delicious result. Excellent for dinner parties and using up excess fruit.

I'm currently having a bit of a mania for cookbooks, and have ordered a few new ones - but until they get here, I decided to make inroads into some of my older and more neglected books. This Sesame Pepper Chicken is the result of some creative license applied to a book I've had for a good five years now.

I developed this dish when I lived in China. I had the most basic of kitchens - just a gas burner. I didn't even have a toaster oven at first. Anyhow, I developed an inordinate fondness for ru gan mian, or sesame sauce noodes, a staple breakfast in my part of the country. The sesame paste was just so tasty! It was made with toasted sesame, so it was much darker than tahini, and it was grainier than peanut butter. When I discovered that you could buy this dark sesame paste from the oil shops (rapeseed, soya bean and sesame oils, processed in the little shop), I was so excited that I immediately bought some and was determined to make a delicious something from it. What happened was a kind of satay-ish sauce that I ate all the time.
