OUT of town....

I need this break and hoping the weather will allow it! See ya on the flip side!

Biscuits and Gravy!! Like I said I just LOVE breakfast. We have it often when I lack creativity! Being such a busy weekend, and with Presidents Day we all skipped out for the day to Cour d' lene! I did manage to take out some organic beef sausage that I was SO excited to use. I bought it from a local farmer here in town. http://www.localharvest.org/its-the-lords-farm-M41224

When I opened my package of sausage I was a little shocked! The meat was so bright red! I couldn't believe how it tasted as well! So fresh! Highly recommend this farm!! GREAT meat!

2/20/11 Engagement party!

Today I made a carrot cake, chocolate cake, 2 kinds of biscotti and hummus! Had a house FULL of people and it was SO much fun!!!

Friends for dinner after I did a photo shoot for their engagement! So I had the privilege of Chris making dinner! Ok so I helped a little....but not much! We made one of our favorite dishes, Ginger Peanut Chicken. So easy and so delicious! It was quite fun to make dinner together and I am pretty sure soon as school gets out I will spend less time in the kitchen!! He is seriously an amazing cook!

I thought you would like to see some pictures of what I did all day too!

Hamburger Rolls 2/18/11

One of our family favorite recipes is a bit of an embarrassment. They are Hamburger Rolls and they are just as they sounds. Rolls filled with hamburger meat and cheese. I brown up hamburger and onion and garlic. Then I make the dough from Betty Crocker Recipe book circa 1950's-60's for Easy Refrigerator Rolls and fill them with the meat and cheese! Then we bake them at 400 for 20 min! Tonight I served with a side salad and corn!

Boring but a family favorite none the less! Also easy when we have extra kids around and the funny thing is that the kids all love them and want THEIR moms to make them.

Cookies 2/17/11

I love just LOVE the big bag of chocolate chips at Costco. They never last long around here. The cookie recipe on the back is one of the best Chocolate chip recipes I have ever tried!

 Ok I am just going to tell you....I have baked bread for YEARS. I came across this loaf pan at The Kitchen Engine and for $8.00 thought if I didn't like it I wouldn't be out much money. I LOVE this pan! I will be going to get more. It makes the best bread. They say to use them for rising the dough but I use it for baking as well and WOW! It makes my bread amazing!
