Snickerdoodle Muffins | Sweet Pea's Kitchen - StumbleUpon I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately! Pinning this and that all while trying not to drool all over my computer. While I like pinning lots of different things, as you can imagine, I love pinning recipes. A picture of snickerdoodle muffins kept popping up all over my Pinterest page just begging me to make them. Could it be, one of my favorite cookies in a breakfast treat? These muffins made the best late-night snack I have had in a while! I really need to stop looking at Pinterest after dinner! The dough is very soft, so when you drop some into the cinnamon-sugar mixture you want to spoon some of the mixture over the dough before you start rolling it. This way your fingers never touch the sticky dough and you don’t end up with snickerdoodle batter all over your fingers. After the ball of dough is completely covered in cinnamon and sugar just plop it into the muffin liner and bake! Scroll to bottom for printable recipe card. What makes this recipe special? For the Topping: Sugar Cinnamon
How to Make Crêpes Without a Crêperie | Food for My Family - StumbleUpon A brief tutorial on how to make crêpes at home, no crêperie required. Just you, your stove and a bit of batter and you’ll have a plate full of thin pancakes in no time at all. I’ve always wanted to live abroad, even if just for a short time. To the eggs and milk, add in flour, melted butter and a bit of salt. When it’s time to cook, heat a pan with rounded edges over medium-high heat. Cook the crêpe for 30 seconds or so. Slide the crêpes into a flat pile and let them cool a bit while you repeat the process and make more crêpes. And that’s it. If you’re wondering, no, I still have not been to France, nor have I ventured to Australia. 5 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup water 2 cups flour 6 tablespoons melted butter 1/4 teaspoon salt extra butter for fryingIn a blender combine eggs, milk, water, flour and melted butter.

Bacon Onion Cheddar Biscuits These biscuits are hearty, sticky, substantial, and packed with all the goodness of life. You can serve them with eggs in the morning, tomato soup for lunch, or meatloaf for dinner. And they’re so rich and satisfying, one is definitely more than enough. That’s why I went ahead and ate two. I originally set out to make a lighter muffin, but once I started figuring out ingredients, I realized the add-ins were too heavy and weighty for a lighter batter. Peppered bacon. Fry it up, baby. Please listen to Pioneer Woman. Fry the bacon till done but still a little chewy—not burned to a crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside. Then fry some more. Okay! 3/4 teaspoon salt… I know that’s an annoying amount, but 1/2 teaspoon isn’t enough…and a full teaspoon is potentially too much. Next comes 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder. Sift this mixture into a bowl. Then grab 1/4 cup shortening… And dot it all over the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to combine the ingredients… Oh, baby. My Lord.
Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks I got kinda hooked on these this summer. I’ve always loved the zucchini sticks my parents served at their pizzeria and used to eat them often when I worked there. But let’s be real, though they are a “vegetable”… the deep fried part kinda trumps the veggie part don’t ya think? I started making these at home this summer…not sure why it’s taken me so long to put this zucchini recipe together. Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks Ingredients 3 large zucchini, sliced longways, halved and cut into sticks 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp dried garlic powder Olive oil spray Instructions Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

I love it, I think it is incredible, and I haven’t changed my mind about that.

Big Red Kitchen: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes The original and unique Cinnamon Roll Pancake recipe created by Robin Sue! My little Deven loves pancakes and wants me to make them all the time, but I don’t often enough. Late last night my friend had spotted this Cinnamon Bun Pancake Recipe from the blogisphere and posted it on her Facebook status suggesting for her daughter to make them. Wow, Cinnamon Bun Pancakes, that would be a winner in my house too. So I went to bed with pancakes dancing in my head. I dreamed up ways to make this pancake recipe look and taste more like a cinnamon roll. I created a typical cinnamon roll filling and placed it in a pastry bag to be swirled over the pancakes as they cooked. After pouring 1/4 cup pancake batter in a hot skillet, I swirled the cinnamon filling mixture over top. Cinnamon Roll PancakesFor the Cinnamon Filling… In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix until smooth: 1 stick softened butter, almost melty 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 T. cinnamon Using the hand mixer, blend until smooth.
Creamy Cheese Grits with Chilies I have a good, basic recipe for cheese grits in my cookbook, but last night I was feeling feisty. I was cooking steaks. Big, fat, juicy rib-eye steaks with beautiful marbling and gorgeous color. I was definitely potatoed out; we’d had baked potatoes and smashed potatoes already this week. It turned out to be such a great complement to our steaks. When I tweeted last night that I’d eaten too much of the delectable side dish, I was surprised at the number of people I heard from who either hadn’t heard of grits…or just hadn’t tried them. Grits. Give them a chance. Bring some water to a boil, and add in a little bit of salt. Because of the cheese in cheese grits, though, you want to tread lightly with the salt at first. Grab the grits. Measure about a cup. Then pour ‘em in. Stir ‘em around… Let ‘em boil for a second… Then reduce the heat to low and put on the lid. Let ‘em cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or so for quick grits, longer for regular grits. (Hi, Zannie!) I’m so glad we had this talk. Sorry.

With this recipe I challenge you to forget the box; forget the pre-made stuff at your deli grocer. You aren’t going to want it after you give this a try. Just think, creamy refreshing lemon dill dressing coats perfect pasta, creamy avocados, sweet tomatoes and crispy bacon. It’s like summer in a bowl. I actually got the idea for this salad from one of my favorite sandwiches: Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado.
