I have been enjoying being back in to kitchen over the past couple of weeks. I've been wanting to make these for months and finally got around to giving them a go. They are delicious - thin with a nice crunchy rim around the edges. We added chocolate chips, they would be excellent with walnuts as well,

Did U order Coach's oatmeal online, or does yr local grocery carry that brand? REC reads delicious!

 
I buy it at Costco. We love it both as the hot cereal and using it in cookies. Well,

my mouth loves it, but my scale is not too happy with me about the cookie part. smileys/wink.gif

I'm not sure if it is a regional thing - I am in Southern CA near the product source, I do know sometimes Costco carries regional items not nationally available. Someone on the east coast told me about some delicious kielbasa burgers she got at her Costco, but mine did not have them.

 
The texture would be very different. The Coach's Oats look like steel cut oats that have been

pulverized by about 50% to cook faster that whole steel cut oats, but they are not as hard of a texture. Kind of halfway between steel cut and rolled. Not sure if that makes sense!

I would be happy to send some to you so you can try this out. smileys/smile.gif

 
thanks for the offer, Lisa, but my next granola will be a fruity version from Sara Chase.

Let me give that one a test drive and then I'll let you know if Coach gets a trial run.

(hee...I thought "Coach's Oats" was something one of your kid's SPORTS COACHES came up with as a snack after practice! So works the mind of Marilyn...filling in the blanks even if I have to make them up myself.)

 
OK, let me know when you want them and I'll send them on their way. The "Coach" that made the

oats was a gymnastics coach - though not my daughter's coach. smileys/smile.gif

 
Mar, I have a book by Sarah Chase but have never used it. Do you cook many of her recipes? Thoughts?

 
Traca, I just got *New England* cooking from the library. I've started

reading OTHER sections of cookbooks rather than just the dessert/pastry since improving my food cooking skills is now my goal. Her book is reading well so far.

Unfortunately, most of the recipes I want to try are seafood and even though I live 3 miles from the ocean, my options aren't anywhere near as good as hers.

For example, halibut finally showed up at the fish market and it was priced at---and I'm not making this up for dramatic effect--$52.99/pound.

 
Yowza! Halibut is expensive here too but not $53/pound. What's the 'firm white fish' equivalent

for you?
