So you may have seen this picture in my last post, it's the bread I've been making quite a bit lately. My family loves it and my mom can't get enough of it.</div>

Now when it comes to homemade bread, you usually think there's lots of kneading & rising, not so with this bread, plus you make enough dough for at least three meals. And plus, I promise there's no kneading involved. <br />
<br />
So let's get started, and I know it looks like a really long recipe but it's quite easy once you've done it a few times. (the recipe actually comes from the book <em>Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day</em>)<br />
<br />
To make the dough you will need:<br />
4 quart container with lid<br />
6 1/2 cups of flour<br />
1 1/2 TBSP salt<br />
1 1/2 TBSP yeast<br />
3 cups warm water<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">MAKING THE DOUGH</span><br />
(I suggest doing steps 1-3 the night before you want to make the actually bread)<br />
1. Combine flour, salt and yeast until well mix in your 4 quart container. <br />
2. Add water and mix until the flour is all moist. Remember you do not have to knead!!! The dough should moist with no dry flour in the bottom of the bowl. It may seem sticky but it's okay.<br />
3. Lay the lid on the container but DO NOT seal. Set in a warm place to rise. Let it rise until double in size, about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Pop the lid on and put in fridge. (I suggest doing this the night before you want to make the actually bread)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">LET'S MAKE THE BREAD, </span><span style="font-size: small;">Now that you have a batch of dough</span><br />
4. Take your dough out of fridge and generously sprinkle one corner with flour. Pul the corner of dough out of the container, using the flour to keep it from stickly to your hands. Use your hands to cut off a piece of dough about the size of a grapefruit. Gently smooth the top of the dough over and tuck it underneath, forming a smooth ball of dough.<br />
5. Set dough on a piece of parchment paper to rise. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes. Once the dough has rised about 25 minutes, place a pizza stone in the middle of your oven with a metal broiler pan underneath. (If you don't have a pizza stone, a cookie sheet can be used. It won't be quite the same, but it will work.) Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and finish rising your dough (20 minutes)<br />
6. Once your dough is ready, dust the top lightly with flour and slash it with a knife a couple of times to allow it to expand when you put it in the oven.<br />
7. Place the dough (and the parchment paper) on the preheated stone and add 1 cup of water to pan underneath and quickly close the door. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the parchment paper and continue baking for 10 more minutes.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cool, slice and EnJOY!!!!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: small;">A couple years ago, I started a little tradition of making a special meal for all my boys on Valentines Day, except with a yummy dessert. This year I decided to try a new pork tenderloin recipe I found on Pinterest. It was so good, even the kids ate it without smothering in ketchup.</span></h3>

Ever since we moved to our house in Freeport, I have had a hard time making a good chocolate chip cookie. Every recipe I try the cookies end up being flat as a pancake and just look horrible to serve others. I have finally find a cookie that works in my oven...that's <strike>who</strike> what I blame the problem on. Enjoy!!!</div>

There are two foods that my husband loves...I think each could have it's own food category in his book; <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Oreo Cookies and Cinnamon Rolls. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I could figure out how to get both into one recipe he would be in his glory. :) Thankful I haven't come across anything yet, cause it doesn't sound very good to me.</div>

I think we have finally find success...cause we aren't sampling different recipes anymore.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">it's ICE CREAM!!!! </span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yup that's right, our rolls has ice cream in them...I swear that's why Mike likes them so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So without farther ado...here's the recipe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Cinnamon Rolls</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dough in the bread machine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6 oz Milk (90-100 degrees F)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 Egg</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 cups bread flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 TBSP sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4 TBSP butter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 tsp Fast Rise Yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Add warm milk and egg to pan. Next add bread flour, sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into corners. Place butter into corners of pan. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add yeast. Program your bread machine for DOUGH. When done, remove dough from bread machine. Place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Caramel Sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/3 cup butter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup ice cream</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Meanwhile; in a small sauce pan; melt butter. Add brown sugar and ice cream; bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Pour caramel into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Filling</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 cup butter, softened (for spreading)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After dough rest for 15 minutes, roll dough into a rectangle, about 15x10 inches. Spread butter over dough to within 1 inch of edges. Then sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and crumble brown sugar over the top. Roll up and seal the edge. Cut into 12 rolls and place in prepared pan of caramel. Allow to rise in warm, draft free place until double in size, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Glaze</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally top with a glaze or a frosting. I really don't have a recipe to speak of for that. I just mix some powder sugar with some milk to make a thick glaze. You could add some vanilla flavoring to it if you want. OR if you prefer a cream cheese frosting of them you could do that too. Whatever you prefer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There that our recipe, hope it's not too complex for you. These cinnamon rolls are so worth it...so take</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the time and make them. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">They are so good!!!!!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;">This past week I spent two full days canning applesauce. I canned 4 bushels of apples and made approx. 68 quarts of applesauce. Can you tell we love our applesauce here. I make it with no added sugar or cinnamon...just the apples and I must say it's really good. I used my apple peeler/corer/slicer all in one machine and it worked great. This year I put it right at the edge of the counter top and put a bucket on the floor and the peeling went right into the bucket...it worked slick. I put some press and seal on the cabinets to keep them from getting sticky. </span></div>

Most of them have been very easy and simple, using ingredients I already have in the house...which is so nice. The latest one I tried was these yummy and delicious bacon Cheeseburger bites. Brendan gave it a raving review...even added to his prayer that he was thankful that I was so creative with our meals lately. I hope you try them and let me know what you think.<br />

Note: the recipe includes making a dough, I cheated and just rolled out some Grand Biscuits, it worked really good and way more easy. I only made eight because that's all the biscuits I had, so I have leftover meat mixture for a second (maybe even a third) meal.<br />

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the changing of the colors. I love being able to bundle up in my comfy clothes. I love comfort food, including all things pumpkin. Here's a new recipe for me, it's something very similar to the <a href="http://caravandamcooks.blogspot.com/2010/09/chocolate-chip-pumpkin-bread.html">Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread</a> that I have made in the past. I would highly recommend you making this if you are like me and love pumpkin. ENJOY!!!</div>

Never a good thing...it makes me hungry all the time. But I came across a recipe for <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/301098109/">Bubble Up Enchiladas</a> and while I was looking at the comments on the blog post, someone mentioned that did a similar recipe but made it with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese and that sounded better to me...my family <strike>likes</strike> LOVES pizza. Then later that day, I was on another <a href="http://lovemyfreezerdinners.blogspot.com/2011/09/bubble-up-pizza-from-rochelle.html">food blog</a> for freezer meals and the same recipe was there. So I knew I just had to try it.<br />

I had all the students submit a favorite recipe and I wanted pictures in the cookbook so I made about 18 of the recipes (it wasn't a good thing for the weight lose thing.) So I made the snack mix that my amazing friend <a href="http://mdieleman.blogspot.com/">Chelle's</a> son submitted and it's to die for....I fall head over heels in love with it. It's an best mixture of salty and sweet...it's a good thing that I had to give some away otherwise I would have eaten the whole bunch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I cam across with this recipe in a magazine at my local grocery store. And seeing how I'm too cheap to buy the magazine just for a soup recipe, I quickly pulled on my smartphone and snapped a picture of the recipe, grabbed a few ingredients I didn't have and headed home to make it. It's really good and very filling.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Salsa</span><br />
8 cups tomatoes, chopped<br />
3 onions, chopped<br />
2 green peppers, chopped<br />
8-10 jalapeno peppers, chopped (keep seed for hot, remove for milder)<br />
1 12oz can of tomato paste<br />
1/2 cup white vinegar<br />
1 TBSP garlic powder<br />
1 TBSP salt<br />
1 TBSP pepper<br />
<br />
<br />
Combine ingredient in a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 60-90 minutes. Put into pint jars and seal. make 5 to 6 pints.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
I usually put my salsa in the blender after I cooked it for a smoother salsa.<br />
<br />
Tip:<br />
wear plastic gloves when working with jalapeno peppers so you don't get the "hot" of the pepper on your hands.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201675301501476371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842234300084003204.post-42861331748987983632011-09-07T20:50:00.000-05:002011-09-07T20:50:49.690-05:00Pepperoni Pizza Bites<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #fffcfa;"></span><br />

That's when I came across this <a href="http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/canning/spaghetti-sauce-6/">recipe</a> for a great Spaghetti Sauce that I could can.

Here's the recipe<br />
<br />
1 cup flour<br />
1 TBLS sugar<br />
3 tsp baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 egg<br />
3/4 cup milk<br />
2 TBLS oil<br />
<br />
mix together and make the pancakes.<br />
<br />

I usually double this recipe for my family. I would say one batch makes about 6-8 medium size pancakes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201675301501476371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842234300084003204.post-50898817053513407252011-08-13T16:31:00.002-05:002011-08-14T11:12:30.520-05:00Marinade for Chicken or Beef<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"></span><br />

It was both my brother's and my niece's birthday this past weekend so I was planning to make some cupcakes for help celebrate these milestones. So Saturday I hauled out my trusty mixer and whipped at batch of chocolate cupcakes. While the cupcakes were cooling, I did some blog surfing and came across this <a href="http://www.bystephanielynn.com/2011/07/50-different-foods-you-can-put-in-jar.html">blog post</a> that was about 50 different food you can put in a jar. There are so many great ideas, but when I saw the rainbow cakes in a jar I knew that I needed to make them...and what better reason than a birthday. I threw the cooled cupcakes in the freezer and figured I could take those along camping next week, and quickly went to work making these yummy dessert.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Don't get me wrong I am loving every single berry that is coming from the vines. I have made lots of Strawberry Jam (the only jam the boys will eat), crushed strawberries with some sugar for later on, and a few strawberry pies...which an few of my guys and Danno have loved. <br />
<br />
Don't tell the boys but I found the recipe on the weight watchers website. It was so good and simple to made.<br />

</span><br />
<br />
Here's the original recipe. I didn't make it quite like this but I'm sure it would taste very simple to mine. I substituted Hawaiian Punch for the cranberry because that's what I had in the house. Also I didn't use the Greek yogurt and lemon zest. My boys love using the reddi-whip so that what they had on theirs and I ate just the pie. Plus one tenth of the pie wasn't near enough...I probably had more like a sixth of the pie. :) <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">So I have a new favorite food I absolutely LOVE this summer, it's grilled pizza. Pizza's a favorite anyway, but there's an amazing crunch in the crust, but it's still soft and chewy in the inside. My mouth's just thinking about it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">SO Good!!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and instead of written how it's done, I'm going to forward you on to <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/06/tutorial-bbq-grilled-pizza/">Our Best Bites</a> website. If you never been, they have some amazing recipes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I hope the next time it's too hot to cook inside, you remember this and take your pizza making outside to the BBQ.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ENJOY!!!!</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201675301501476371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842234300084003204.post-47913254459693880462011-05-28T21:44:00.000-05:002011-05-28T21:44:18.956-05:00Sour Cream Noodle Bake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5533560574_a517ed3e05_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5533560574_a517ed3e05_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(photo credit goes to Pioneer Women)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Here's another Recipe I find online that my family really likes...and they don't even know that it has cottage cheese in it. I found the recipe <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/sour-cream-noodle-bake/">here</a> from the amazing <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/">Ree Drummond</a>. I love looking at her recipes and drooling over all the pictures she posts. Just once I would love to sit at her dining table, and eat all the yummy food that she makes.<br />

It looks so good, so delicious that I just couldn't stop thinking about it...and that's not good when you're trying to lose weight. <br />

</div>As I hauled out my "new to me" bread machine (Thanks <a href="http://whenhellomeansgoodbye.blogspot.com/">Kate</a>!!!) and throw the ingredient into the machine for the dough. I must say this was sooo much easier to assemble and let rise than regular cinnamon rolls...or at least it seems that way. <br />
<br />
So without further ado, here's the recipe.<br />
<br />
First let's make the dough.<br />
3/4 cup milk, ( 90-100degrees F)<br />
1 egg, large<br />
3 cups bread flour<br />
3 TBLS sugar<br />
1/2 tsp. salt<br />
4 TBLS butter, melted<br />
1 1/2 tsp fast rise yeast.<br />
<br />
Put the wet ingredients into the pan in the machine. Then put the dry ingredient minus the yeast in next. Last but not least the yeast gets thrown on up. Set the Bread Machine to the dough setting and then press start.<br />
<br />
Once the dough cycle is finished, it's time to roll up the dough and put the yummy goodness on top. Roll the dough out until it's about 12 x 20 then top with 4 TBLS of melted butter, a bunch of brown sugar, cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg. I know those aren't really technical terms when it comes to baking but it works. Put as much or as little gooey goodness as you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the hard part...take your pizza cutter and cut the dough into 6 equal rows. Stack the rows on top of each other and then cut the stack into 6 stacks. (head over <a href="http://www.joythebaker.com/blog/2011/03/cinnamon-sugar-pull-apart-bread/#more-4771">here</a> to see the pictures). Transfer the stacks into a greased and floured 9 x 5 bread pan.<br />
<br />
Let the bread raise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes or until the dough doubles in size. <br />
<br />
Bake at 350 degrees 30-35 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. (If the top isn't very golden brown the middle may still be raw. ) Let the bread cool 20 minutes before you take out of the pan. <br />
<br />
I would have to agree with<a href="http://www.joythebaker.com/"> Joy the Bake</a>r...it is best the day it's baked. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"> EnJOY!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
(we added a powder sugar glaze to the top for more yummy-ness and calories, but you do what works for you.)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201675301501476371noreply@blogger.com1
