Homemade Bread

Feel free to save the photo or message me and I'll send you the file for it!  A few photos of the process... Wet ingredients Dry ingredients - It's very important to keep the salt away from the yeast, Its in the bottom right corner and then you make a little well in the middle of the flour to put the yeast in. How it should look when it's done in the bread maker. What it should look like when it's done rising. Right after I took them out of the oven, and getting ready to rub butter on the tops. Place on the sides to cool so the top doesn't fall. Cut, serve, and ENJOY!

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...

Homemade Pizza

Homemade Pizza We decided to try our hand at homemade pizzas the other day - I could seriously eat pizza everyday and not get tired of it...There are so many variations of it you can choose from. We're a little limited in Osceola on options (although I do love all the places we have in town for it!) My favorite is Neapolitan style, clearly I can't get that in town or at home considering I don't have one of those amazing brick ovens but we decided to get as close as possible. I LOVE the recipe I found for the bread maker, if you don't have one you could easily convert it to just using a stand mixer. Here is the recipe I used to make the pizza dough in the bread maker. This is the white sauce we used, I Just found it in the pizza section at faraway. Ingredients: Whatever you need for dough (Most likely you have it all on hand)  White sauce pizza:  White sauce Cheese, we used a mixture of mozzarella sl...

English Muffin Breakfast Pizza

English Muffin Breakfast Pizza I used  this  recipe to make the English muffins, its mixed in the bread machine but you could easily convert it using a stand mixer or look on Pinterest for a simple English muffin recipe. I found they don't have the holes necessarily like store bout English muffins but after looking around on Pinterest it looks like most of the homemade don't, eventually I might try to tweak it but we were happy with the flavor of them so I'm not in a hurry to change it. These were very easy to assemble and I love that you know what ingredients are going into your meal. Once the English muffins are done they'll look like this. As you can see not quite the consistency on the inside but still had good flavor. You can really add as much or little toppings as you'd like, I didn't go overboard with them so they'll be easy to reheat and eat. Sausage Gravy instead of cheese sauce. Ham instead of sa...

Lasagna

Lasagna   All the ingredients and spices I used (ground chicken not pictured)  I started by chopping the onion and garlic, I use a 3 cup food processor and it makes the process too much easier!  Start sautéing the onion ( I added some seasonings in at this point)  When the onion is almost done add the garlic and finish sautéing Add your meat and spices and brown.  Mix the eggs in with the cottage cheese.  Mix you sauce with the meat and mix in the cottage cheese mixture.  Start by spreading some sauce on the bottom of the pan so your noodles don't stick then layer noodles, meat mixture,  and cheese, you'll end up layering three times and finishing with cheese (I had some fresh mozzarella leftover from another recipe so I through that on top as well) I baked at 375 for 45 minutes and let sit for 10 minutes to cool. Finished product (I always add some garlic and more parmes...
