quick and easy dinner rolls

By
I love homemade bread. i actually make it quite often and i have a lot of different recipes that i use depending on the time i have. i like bread in just about any form or flavor! i also really like cooking shows. imagine that! we switched our tv programming a while ago and had a short few months of the cooking channel. it's so fantastic and i fell in love with a bunch of shows just in time for the channel to be cut! i was lucky to be able to catch a few of kelsey nixon's shows "kelsey's essentials" and i really love her recipes. one of those recipes is this quick and easy bread recipe. when i first read it over after watching the show i couldn't believe the amount of yeast! it seemed like too much, so i cut it way back. the rolls were still delicious, but they didn't rise fast like they're supposed to. so my advice would be to use the exact recipe, yeast and all! and enjoy some for dinner tonight. or use the recipe for cinnamon rolls!

3 pkg. active dry yeast or about 3 Tbsp.
1 3/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 Tbsp salt
2 large eggs, beaten
6 - 7 cups flour
melted butter

in the bowl of a stand mixer, add yeast and warm water and stir to dissolve yeast. stir in honey. add melted butter, salt and eggs and mix together on low speed. add flour, beginning with one cup at a time until dough creates a paste. mix for 2 minutes. continue adding additional flour until dough separates from bowl. knead for 3-4 minutes until dough is soft and elastic. portion into equal roll sizes and add to rimmed pie dish, or roll into desired shape. brush with melted butter and allow to rise until doubled in size. bake in 400 degree oven for 25 minutes or until the tops are a rich golden brown. remove from oven and brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle with kosher or sea salt.

    I'm going to have to try this recipe. I gave up on baking when we moved "up the hill." The elevation ruined everything I tried to bake! Now that I've relocated to the "flat land" I just might have to give it another whirl! Thanks for sharing!

Marinara with butter and onion

By
did I tell you that I love butter? well, I do. (see here ) so when i came across this recipe on the smitten kitchen , i was in awe. although wisdom tells you that a good marinara sauce comes from hours of simmering vine ripened tomatoes in delicious spices and mouth watering aromatics, this recipe sort of defies that wisdom. it's three ingredients...that's it. while the quality of the tomatoes does add value to this sauce, it's also ok to substitute with the can of tomatoes you've got on hand. if that's san marzano tomatoes, it's going to be delicious, if it's just a can of hunts, it will still be fantastic (i don't recommend a store brand of tomatoes for this recipe, however). for me, it's the go to recipe when i'm swamped and cannot find time to spend in the kitchen. let me tell you something about myself. i'm a people pleaser. so i have a hard time saying no. "can you help coach knowledge bowl?" yes. "would you b...

sunday slow cooker: red beans and rice

By
in honor of mardi gras this year i made red beans and rice from scratch.  i am grateful to say that 6 years of my life took place in new orleans, la.  well, actually it was 5 years and 1 month + 11 months while we were displaced because of hurricane katrina, but we won't talk about that.  and during those 11 months in utah my heart was still in new orleans.  in case you're not familiar with new orleans, their claim to fame is FOOD.  and no ordinary food will do, no no no.  it must be GREAT FOOD.  and believe me, we had GREAT FOOD while we lived there.  and lots of it.   one of our favorite dishes was red beans and rice.  now that we don't live in new orleans, it's not as convenient to just run to the store and buy a can of already prepared Blue Runner beans.  so, i decided to come up with a recipe all on my own that used the slow cooker (it was sunday dinner and now with 1 o'clock church i'm using my slow cooke...

rotisserie chicken noodle soup

By
i can't even begin to tell you how much i wish that this were not a post about soup.  i wish i could have a talking with mother nature and convince her that spring is necessary.  not only for the budding tulips and daffodils, but for my mental status.  i dislike winter.  there.  i said it.  this year i even tried my best to not let winter get to me.  i invested in insulated running tights and lots of warm gear to get me through all the snow storms.  and i ran through lots of cold dreary days.  and it helped.  oh boy, did it help!  but dog-gone-it, it's may now.  i tried to have patience through the blustery march weather.  i was optimistic when april's sunshine peeked through the clouds.  but, honestly, that was maybe once.  and now i'm telling you what...my patience has worn thin and i'm anxious to get my cold weather gear put away.  i want to hop on my bike and pedal my way into mental heaven.  but ...
