Quick Breads #4 Cinnamon Bun Pancakes

*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)

Whoever invented pancakes was a complete genius. I love you, inventor of pancakes! Making your own from scratch is so easy, you’ll wonder why you ever bought Bisquick. Not that there is anything wrong with Bisquick. I use it often…..I keep a stash. Anyway, who needs to buy the frozen variety of pancakes? Unless of course you shop like me and get them super cheap for those occasions when you only have time for the microwave. I love you, inventor of microwaves! Let’s make some pancakes, shall we?

Cinnamon Bun Pancakes

Cinnamon Bun Pancakes. When I first saw this recipe, I knew I HAD to make it. It haunted me in my sleep. Cinnamon Bun Pancakes? Glory!!!!!!!! This recipe is so amazing that it will make a man propose to you. If you’re already married, he might offer to take you to Hawaii. Yes, it’s THAT good. Barry groaned with glee all the way through breakfast. I licked my plate. Who cares if I lick it regularly? I was trying to get every bit of cinnamon bun goodness off of there. Don’t deny it! You do it too. [Read more…]

Quick Breads #2 Apple Pie Muffins

 

Apple Pie Muffins

*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)

Day two and we’re making muffins! Ya know; muffins are just cupcakes we eat at breakfast. We call them muffins so we don’t feel bad about eating cake for breakfast. Guess what? You don’t have to feel bad about eating cake at breakfast! Make some muffins and feel healthy! These muffins even have apples in them, so they gotta be good for you! Fruit! An apple muffin a day keeps the doctor away. You heard it here first.

Ingredients needed

To make Apple Pie Muffins you need brown sugar, all purpose flour, butter, cinnamon, oil, an egg, vanilla, buttermilk, baking soda, salt, and diced, peeled apples. You’ll notice that I didn’t get bulk apples. I saw these marked down and they were wayyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper than getting them whole. I knew I was going to use them the same day, so I chose these. I love mark downs! Also, I didn’t have any buttermilk in the house, so I used my buttermilk mix instead. You could also make your own buttermilk. See this post. [Read more…]

Quick Breads #1 Zucchini Bread

*UPDATE – See this post about our new eating habits.(7/10/11)

Today begins my week of writing about quick breads. I love quick breads! They’re so…….quick. Not to mention easy, delicious, and quick. Did I mention quick? There are about a million different varieties of quick “breads.” This week I’m going to focus on sweet breads (today), muffins, pancakes, biscuits, and cornbread.

Zucchini Bread

We’re going to make Zucchini Bread today! I just love zucchini. You can do so much with it. It’s very nutritious. So that makes this sweet bread nutritious, right? Yes, right. When our family is overrun with zucchini during the summer, I make everything I can think of with zucchini in it. This just happens to be my favorite way to use it. It’s a Betty Crocker recipe. Betty is such a good cook. She really knows what she’s doing…..and she does it quick. [Read more…]

Crash Hot Potatoes

Y’all know I love me some Pioneer Woman. Every single one of her cookbooks is one of my favorites! When I first read this recipe, I started to drool and I knew I just HAD to make it. And there is no maybe about it. These potatoes are delicious. This is the way potatoes were meant to be cooked! For the perfect crash hot potatoes, you just need four simple ingredients: baby (new) potatoes, good oil, salt, and whatever herbs/spices you’d like. Get creative pepper, garlic, cumin, parsley – you can’t go wrong! [Read more…]

Homemade Tortillas

Buckle up y’all, because today, we’re making homemade tortillas! Betcha didn’t know that you could make them, huh? Thought you could only buy them in the store. Well, surprise!!! They’re easy as pie. Not as sweet. Man, I love pie. Now I need to make a pie. Thanks a lot. On with the homemade tortillas! [Read more…]

How To Poach An Egg

how to poach an egg

I’m sure you’ve seen those fancy pans that advertise the perfect poached eggs. And, I know what you’re thinking. Only fancy people know how to poach an egg, right?

Wrong – YOU can poach an egg too!

Not that you’re not fancy, but I’m just saying that poaching eggs is for everyone – the common man and for royalty. So, let’s get with it shall we?

And the best part? You don’t need a special pan or even special skills to poach eggs at home. Save your cabinet space for useful things like waffle irons and your 101 cookie cutter set. As long as you have a big pot and a slotted spoon, you can poach an egg! [Read more…]

Holy Guacamole!

My husband loves avocados. Annie likes avocados. Me, not so much. The texture is weird. But because I want to keep my husband happy, I buy avocados. I love to buy them when they’re in season and I can get them for $.68 each.  Did you know avocados make guacamole? It’s true! And you thought guacamole could only be bought at the store in the specialty section. Well today we’re going to make it together. It’s so easy you’ll start making it all the time! Your husbands and wives will write me love letters. [Read more…]

Tropical Salsa

Barry and I love salsa. LOVE. Salsa is serious business at our house. Sure, we use the canned stuff but we like homemade the best. And it needs to be hot. If your nose isn’t running, it’s not hot enough. Making your own salsa is so easy! So, take a trip with me and let’s make some shall we? [Read more…]
