Dysfunctional Chef Friday: Strawberries and Apple Crumble

Apples to the left of me, strawberries to the right of me!

While shopping at our local grocery store, I eyed a display of strawberries. Strawberries! Big red delicious, succulent strawberries, piled high into the sky! True enough! Even though strawberry season officially begins in June and runs through mid-August, new farming methods extend its season from now (right now) till mid-December!

So … I grabbed a few crates and then some apples, too. A few other ingredients, and I was good to go. When I got home, I whipped up the best 8-ingredient dessert ever! Guiltless dessert. Healthy dessert. Oh me-oh-my I heart dessert!
Strawberry and Apple Crumble

Ingredients:
1 lb. cooking apples
1 1/2 cups strawberries
2 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons orange juice

Ingredients for the ‘Curative’* Crumble
3 tablespoons plain wholemeal flour
2/3 cup oats
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
*Curative; cause crumbles always make me smile. And smiling is always a good, good thing to do!

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Peel, core and slice the apple.
Halve the strawberries.
Toss the apples, strawberries, sugar, cinnamon and orange juice.
Gently place into a ovenproof dish.
Set aside!

Mix the wholemeal flour, oats and softened butter with a fork.
Sprinkle the crumble evening over the fruit.

Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
Serve warm.

Sounds yummy, doesn’t it? And easy and healthful too!
Enjoy. Feel free to share your favorite yum delish, healthful recipes below!!!!

Spread the word … NOT the icing,

CHILI BEEF Over Capellini from KITT Club member, Tushkateer in good standing, Denise B.

Crockpot cookery!! Place all of the ingredients in to cook all day.

2 pounds lean stew meat, trimmed. (Note from OLofWL: please buy organic meat.)
One entire onion, sweet Vidalia my favorite, large chunks One jalapeno chile, medium size, seeded.
Water to cover beef
One 10 oz can tomato sauce
Cumin, 2 teaspoons
Garlic Salt, 1 tablespoon

Cook at 250-300 F. for six to eight hours.
When opening stir and shred beef cubes after turning off the crockpot.
Pour approximately 2 cups f the liquid and beef into a pan and cook down until meat-sauce mixture is thickened.
Meanwhile cook one small package capellini (4 servings).
Serve over cooked capellini.
We had one cup each of the sauce and beef mixture over a small amount of pasta.
Serves four with leftover beef.
No need to salt or add cheese or make it more fattening-it is decadent and rich.

Thanks to Denise B. for a one pot recipe!

Easy, too! And again … go see Food Inc. and eat organic.
