Recipes

Dec 072011

This recipe sounds delicious and looks delicious if you like Snickers Candy Bars. Found on cooking.com, it arrived in my email and I had to check it out. Personally, I would switch out the semisweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips for the mere fact, I am not a fan of semisweet chocolate.

Recipes

Aug 182011

Yes, it is National Catfish Month! And to celebrate it, the Catfish Institute would like to give you a free Catfish Cookbook.

Now, I know the catfish they farm raise aren’t like the catfish/horn pout I fish for, but I bet I can use these recipes. Traditionally, we always fry our catfish/horn pout that we catch. In fact it’s almost time for a fish fry- we’ll see how many we catch tonight. Last week…we only caught three and a crap load of pond shiners.

A fun cookie to make for any age!

Recipes

Mar 162011

Although I have never tried this recipe it comes with great reviews from allrecipe.com members. It’s a great recipe to make with younger kids as well as the older ones. Letting the younger kids join in when making these would promote fine and gross motor skills as well as eye and hand co-ordination. I’m gonna get my niece to make me some of these…I’d do it myself, but I truly hate making cookies! Here’s the link if you’d like to read the reviews first: Play Dough Cookies one reviewer suggests dipping the lollipop sticks in liquid egg whites before sticking into the cookie…this apparently makes it so the sticks won’t fall out after baking.

Play Dough Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
assorted colors of paste food coloring
24 lollipop sticks
Directions

In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir till soft dough forms. Divide dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food color. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Working with half of each color, shape dough into 3/4 inch balls and for each cookie place 1 pink, 1 green, 1 blue and 1 orange ball together to make 1 large ball. Shape into a 12 inch long roll (like a snake), starting at one end, coil roll to make a 2 3/4 inch round cookie. Place cookies 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Carefully insert lollipop sticks into bottoms of cookies.
Bake cookies for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and store in an airtight container.

If you’d like to save this recipe…why not save it to recipenut.com? I happen to love this website for the mere fact that I use many sites for recipes and can never remember which site I got the recipe off of. Recipenut.com simplifies this for me. I add recipes from allrecipes.com, pillsbury.com, kraft.com…etc.

Have You Ever Tried Cooking Your Beef Roasts Like This?

Have You Ever Tried Cooking Your Beef Roasts Like This?

If I could afford to eat beef roasts every day of the week…I would. I love steak and roast beef. The only way I cook my beef roasts is using the high heat method. In case you’ve never heard of this method…this is how you do it:

Preheat oven to 500*
Prepare beef with the spices you chose…today I used: Pepper, Garlic Powder and Rosemary
When the oven is fully preheated, turn down the temp to 475* and put beef in oven, uncovered
Cook for 7 mins. per pound of beef
Turn oven off and DON’T open the oven door for 2 1/2 hours
The meat is ready to serve at this point. If you chose, you can heat it up for a few minutes, but I find I don’t need to. The meat is well-done on the ends and medium rare in the middle…it’s scrumpdillyicious!
Slice the meat into thin (1/2″ or thinner) slices if you’re using eye round roast. This high heat method will take a tough piece of meat, when sliced thin, to a new level.

Give it a try…you’ll be amazed at how delicious this is and in case you’re wondering…most high scale restaurants cook their beef using the high heat method.
