What's Cooking in Barney's Kitchen???

Mediterranean Chicken

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
2 Tablespoon olive oil
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken, cut into strips.
1 26 oz. diced tomatoes with basil and garlic.
½ cup sliced black olives

Stir onion, pepper, garlic and oregano in oil in skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.

Add chicken, cook 3-5 min or 'til browned and done.

Add tomatoes and olives.  Cook 10 min 'til slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve over rice or pasta. Serves 6

Pumpkin Bread

3 eggs
⅔ cup vegetable oil
1 15 oz. can pumpkin
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 cups flour

Mix ingredients in order listed.  Batter will be fairly stiff. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.  Remove from pan immediately.

I like to bake this and freeze it.  Then it's easy to pull out and thaw for breakfast for a busy morning.

Baked Oatmeal

2 cups oats
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup milk
2 eggs
¼ cup melted butter or margarine

Combine all ingredients. Press into 8" square greased pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. 

We serve it with cold cream or evaporated milk poured over it.  It makes an delicious breakfast.

Carmels

1½ cups Karo syrup
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

Combine all ingredients in heavy pan. 
Cook on medium heat and stir constantly. (CONSTANTLY) until it reaches 240 degrees.
Pour into a 9x13 buttered pan. Cool completely before cutting.

I found this recipe on Pinterest and I've made them several times.  They are so yummy and so easy! 

Enjoy!
