Easy Cinnamon Bread

2010-08-16T15:53:00.000-07:00

I got this recipe from Elizabeth off of www.kingarthurflour.com

3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour OR Mellow Pastry Blend. (I just used regular white flour.)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup cinnamon chips
cinnamon-sugar, for topping

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, and egg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, beating till smooth. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour, covered, then stir in the baking powder and cinnamon chips.

Spoon the batter into a greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon-sugar.

Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until it tests done; a cake tester inserted into the center will come out clean. Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Note: Don't slice the bread while it's hot! It'll slice much better when it's completely cool. Yield: 1 loaf.

Chicken Parmesan

2010-08-16T15:31:00.000-07:00

1 jar; favorite spaghetti sauce
1 large egg
3/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
12 chicken tenders
3 tbl. olive oil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese shredded

Preheat broiler. Spread spaghetti sauce evenly in 13x9 inch pan. Pour egg into a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan , salt and pepper in another shallow dish. Heat oil in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken tenders into egg, turning to coat. Dip tenders into crumb mixture, turning to coat. I use one hand for the egg mixture and the other for the crumb mixture. Place in skillet. Cook the breaded chicken on each side till golden brown, turning once. Arrange chicken in a single layer on the spaghetti sauce. Top with mozzarella chesse. Broil 6 inches from heat till hot and cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

Note: This dish is good alone or with spaghetti noodles with more spaghetti sauce.

Olive Garden's Chicken Carbonara

2010-01-18T19:10:00.000-08:00

This recipe I found on recipezarr.com. It's a real keeper because not only is it good, but Evan ate 4 helpings! Of course they were small but he almost ate an adult portion and that's a lot for the little guy. He doesn't eat much so it was so nice seeing him eat this. He kept saying yummy!
This recipe takes a while to make but it's so worth it! You have to at least try it once. You could always go to Olive Garden and pay $16 for it, or you can spend a little time in the kitchen and maybe spend about $7 for it, give or take. I fell in love with this meal while eating it a few weeks ago at Olive Garden with friends but when you have a husband that doesn't care much for pasta, I have a hard time asking to go to Olive Garden when it's so expensive. This really tastes like the real deal so this makes me very happy! Add shrimp if you love sea food. I'm not a fan so I stick to just chicken.

Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 Envelope Pot Roast

2010-01-18T18:26:00.000-08:00

I got this rescipe from our good friend Stephanie. She got it from a blog called realmomkitchen.com. Matt and I love pot roast but I was getting tired of the same old recipe I was making even though it's good. This one is just as easy and even more tastier. I wont make pot roast any other way now. Matt will make sure of that! He loves it and has no problem eating it all the time. I made it the past two Sunday's.

3 pound beef roast (such as chuck roast)
1 envelope of dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry ranch salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry brown gravy mix
2 cups water

Before you place the roast in the crock pot, pour the water and packets and stir but leave just enough of each packet to sprinkle on the roast after you place it in. Cook on high 4-8 hours.

Cake Mix Cookies

2009-10-19T16:45:00.000-07:00

Any flavor cake mix (I like Yellow or Funfetti)
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Bake 9-12 mins. Remove cookies and place on a cooling rack.

Mint Chip Freeze

2009-10-19T16:24:00.000-07:00

If you love the Winger's Green Asfault Pie, you would love this! It's basically the same thing.

1 pkg Oreo Cookies
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 gal mint chip ice cream, softened
8 oz frozen wipped topping, thawed
Carmel and chocolate syrup

Chop the oreo's into pieces. I use a chopper. In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press into a 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Refridgerate for 30 mins.
Spread ice cream over crust. Spread the whipped topping on top. I like to sprinkle oreo cookies on top of that. Cover and freeze until firm.
Serve with carmel or chocolate syrup. Use both if you like.

Taco Soup

2009-05-26T11:31:00.001-07:00

Last week Matt brought home a stack of recipe's from work and he told me we had to try one by sometime this week. I chose to make Taco Soup from Mary Twohill, who got it from DeAnn Thurgood, because it looked good,it looked like it was easy to make and it looked like it would fill us up because some soups don't. I made it yesterday and we all loved it! Evan even had some and that's saying something since lately it's been hard to get him to eat anything.

Taco Soup

1 lb Hamburger
1 Onion, chopped
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning
1 can Diced Tomatoes
2 8-oz cans Tomato Sauce
1 can Kidney Beans
1 can Corn
1 cup Water

Brown hamburger and onion together. Add other ingredients. Simmer until warm. Top individual servings with: Fritos, cheese and sour cream

Very Yummy!

Bread Braid

2009-04-21T10:46:00.000-07:00

This is one way to enjoy Homemade Sloppy Joe's when you don't have hamburger buns.

1/2 cup Milk
3 tbs. Sugar
2 tsp. Salt
3 tbs. Butter or Margarine
1 tbs. Active Dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm Water
5 to 6 cups All-Purpose Flour

Place milk, sugar, salt and butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 4 1/2 cups flour. Use dough hook and use speed 2 and mix about 1 minute.
Continuing on speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch.
Place dough on clean counter top and cut in half.
Use a rolling pin to flatten dough into a rectangle shape. Put the dough on a greased cookie sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut strips into the dough but leaving the middle untouched. Place cooked Sloppy Joe mix in the middle and braid the dough over the mix.
Bake on 400 until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Brush margarine or butter on top and serve.

For the rest of the bread dough I let it raise in a bread pan till it's doubled in size and bake it in the oven on 400 degrees till golden brown.

Carbonara - Rachael Ray

2009-04-18T18:22:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth (SIL) introduced this recipe to me. It's from Rachael Ray's website at http://www.recipezaar.com/
I made this for dinner today and really enjoyed it. I used regular White Cooking Wine instead of Dry White Wine and I didn't add the red pepper flakes because I'm not a fan and it turned out great!

1 lb Spaghetti or Rigatoni Pasta
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (enough to coat bottom of pan)
1/4 lb Pancetta, chopped (Italian Bacon)
1 tsp. Red Pepper flakes
5-6 Garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
2 large Egg Yolks
Romano Cheese, freshly grated
Fresh Parsley, for garnish

1. Boil pasta.
2. Heat large skillet. Add olive oil and pancetta. Brown pancetta for 2 mins. Add red pepper flakes and garlic and cook 2-3 mins more. Add wine and stir up all the pan drippings.
3. In a separate bowl beat yolks, then add about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water. This tempers the egg and keeps them from scrambling when added to the pasta.
4. Drain pasta well and add it directly to the skillet with pancetta and oil. Pour egg mixture over pasta. Toss rapidly to coat the pasta without cooking the egg. Remove pan from heat and add a big handful of cheese, lots of pepper and a little salt to taste. Continue to toss and turn the pasta until it soaks up egg mixture and thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and extra grated romano.

Chef Salad

2009-04-14T17:53:00.001-07:00

I was asked to make a salad to share for our Families Easter Egg hunt over Easter weekend. I wanted to try something new and I was having cravings for green salad with lots of my favorite ingredients. It tuned into a Chefs Salad because I had left over smoked turkey from a recent dinner that we had with friends and family and I thought it would be fun to put hard boiled eggs because of it being Easter. The ingredients that I put together was:

Romain Lettuce
Iceberg Lettuce
Smoked Turkey
Green Onion
Olives
Swiss Cheese
Colby Jack Cheese
Grape Tomato's
Hard Boiled Eggs

I made the homemade Hidden Valley Ranch to go with it because that stuff is far better then the pre-made bottle ranch. It tasted so good. I wont always have the smoked turkey on hand so ham will be a good substitute. I'm already having cravings for this!

Pulled Pork (Crock Pot)

2009-04-14T17:41:00.000-07:00

Matt and I had the pleasure of visiting our Aunt and Uncle in Seattle a couple weeks ago and had amazing food. I wanted to try and re-create the Pulled Pork that she made and I succeeded.

Pork Shoulder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup Water

Add all ingredients in slow cooker and cook for 4-6 hours. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce and rolls to make a full meal. Yummy! :)

My brother Nathan also makes delicious Pulled Pork by smoking it in his smoker outside. It takes almost all day but it's so worth it! I'm excited for summer coming around the corner because he will start doing it again. He's always smoking some kind of meat so our home always has the aroma of meat being smoked.
