Monkey Bread

 
Monkey bread is always a favorite weekend treat! It doesn't take very long to put it all together and my family can hardly wait for me to take it out of the oven!
Ingredients:
3 cans buttermilk biscuits, quartered (we usually all just take a biscuit and tear it into a few pieces)
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Topping:
1/4 c evaporated or regular milk
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/4 c brown sugar
1 c white sugar (I use the leftover sugar from above and add a little more if needed to make 1 cup, it's ok that the cinnamon is already mixed in)
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
  • Remove the biscuits from the packages and cut into quarters. Pour the sugar and cinnamon into a large baggie. Add the biscuit quarters to the baggie, seal the top and shake until the biscuit pieces are covered with sugar and cinnamon. 
  • Place the biscuit pieces in an ungreased bundt pan.
  • Mix the topping ingredients together and cook in a small pan over low heat on the stove until they are well blended. (You could also heat them in the microwave).
  • Pour topping over biscuits and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let sit in pan for about 5 minutes.
  • Place a large plate over the top of the pan and tip upside down. 
  • Remove the pan and get ready to eat!

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites.

I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly add the mixture to the egg and milk an...

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...

Homemade Liquid Dishwasher Soap

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to start my mission to find a homemade liquid dishwasher soap. I really do prefer liquid soap over powdered soaps. Since I love the Simply Liquid Laundry Detergent (also on our Most Popular Posts) so much I knew there had to be a liquid dishwasher soap that we could make and that works. I found a recipe on http://choosingsimplicity.blogspot.com .and tried it. I read the reviews and as it happens with everything, some people had issues and some people loved it. It seems that part of the problem with homemade dishwasher soap is water type...do you have soft water, hard water, well-water....you know what I mean? And then there is the whole what to put in the rinse aid container? Lemon juice, vinegar, inexpensive rinse aid, expensive rinse aid...? SO what I'm trying to say is that there doesn't seem to be a perfect dishwasher soap. But I wanted to save money and I wanted a liquid soap, so I tried it anyway. I figured it would be ...
