Yummy Yeast Rolls ~ Bread Machine Dough

For a tastey little variation, you can baste these yummy yeast rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and a little Parmesan cheese right before baking, but they are delicious with just butter on them. To add a little extra pizzaz you could  always add a little parsley or minced garlic to the melted butter when making them as dinner rolls. These yummy yeast rolls make great dinner rolls.. or make the rolls bigger and use them for sandwiches.  If you divide the dough into 20 – 24 rolls they are small dinner rolls… dividing into 12 – 15 makes large rolls that are perfect for small sandwiches. These will be perfect to use for Turkey sandwiches with the Thanksgiving or any holiday dinner leftovers.

Here is what you will need to make this Yummy Yeast Rolls Recipe:

• ½ cup warm water
• ½ cup lukewarm milk
• ¹⁄³ cup melted butter
• ¹⁄³ cup sugar
• 1 egg (room temperature, or warm in a glass of warm water for a minute)
• 3 ¾ cup flour (bread flour works best)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon)

INSTRUCTIONS: 

• Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed above.

• Run the bread machine on the dough cycle.

• When the machine is close to being finished spray at 13×9 inch pan with cooking spray.
• Flour your cutting board or baking mat.

• Melt about 4 tablespoons of butter for basting over the top
• When the bread machine is finished place the dough on your floured surface.
• Separate into 20 – 24 equal parts and shape each one into a ball. (12 if you prefer bigger sandwich rolls)
• Place the dough balls seam side down on the prepared pan. Balls should not be touching so they have room for their final rise.
• Brush each one with a little melted butter, using about half of the butter you melted.

• Let these uncooked yummy yeast rolls rise in a warm draft free area for about 45 minutes to an hour. (Hint: I warm my oven slightly while I separate the dough. I then make sure the oven is off and not too hot and  I place my rolls in for their final rise before baking.)

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake rolls for about 16-19 minutes until the tops are golden.
• Remove from oven and brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. (I often end up melting a little more if I’m in a buttery mood and make sure to coat the tops as well as allow butter to soak into the grooves between each roll. Definitely not low cal, but delicious!)

• Serve warm and Enjoy!

Chicken And Peppers ~ Frugal One Pan Meal

I make many variations of this recipe depending on what I have on hand in the pantry and freezer. I used a bag of chicken wings I picked up on sale this week, but you can use any chicken parts you like for this recipe. If using breasts be sure to cut them in half so they cook through. I sometimes use a bag of mini sweet peppers (cut in half lengthwise) instead of the bell peppers. Sometimes I even add a sliced onion to the mix. I find that 450 degrees is that perfect oven temperature to get the chicken done through and give a wonderful crisp browning for the chicken and potatoes. If you make any great variations or additions we would love to hear about them in the comments below, so please scroll down to the bottom of this post and share with us. Hope you enjoy this dish as much as we do.

Here is what you will need to make this Chicken and Peppers Recipe:

2-3 pounds cut up chicken pieces (I used wings in the pictures this time)
2 Bell peppers any color, chopped
4 -5 medium size potatoes, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil

For Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 garlic clove, minced

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Toss chicken pieces, peppers and potatoes in a bowl with all the seasonings and oil.
• Pour out Chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

• Place in preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes until done and nicely browned.
• Serve with Garlic Paprika Mayo. (Combine 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1 minced garlic clove).

Chocolate Saltine Toffee ~ Delicious and Addictive!

Saltine Cracker Toffee is a pretty frugal recipe to make from just a few basic ingredients most of us have in our kitchens. Of course you can get creative and add whatever you like to dress it up a bit. We like them just plain or with chocolate and nuts on top. It just depends on how much time and creativity you would like to invest in these delicious treats. These were made with chocolate and toasted almonds which is my favorite version. They are also great with pecans and white or milk chocolate baking chips. In place of the crackers you can use Chex cereal, corn flakes or graham crackers. We love toasted almonds, so I toast my own almonds to put on top by laying them flat on a cookie sheet and placing them in the oven at the same time I do the cracker toffee mixture, but you can buy them already toasted or even just use them as they come.

Here is what you will need to make thie Chocolate Saltine Toffee Recipe:

40-50 saltine crackers
2 sticks butter, chunked/sliced
1 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup almond slices
2 cups chocolate chips, dark or milk chocolate

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
• Line your jellyroll pan with foil and give it a quick once over with cooking spray or butter it.
• Line the pan with saltine crackers.

• In a medium size saucepan over low heat melt the butter and brown sugar.

• Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil.
• Boil for 3-4 minutes stirring until mixture turns golden and thickens.
• Pour as evenly as possible over the crackers and spread. It does not matter if it is perfect.

• Place in preheated oven for 6-7 minutes.
• While in oven melt chocolate in a small bowl or double boiler.
• Remove Crackers from oven and pour the chocolate over them, spreading evenly.

• Sprinkle the toasted almond slices evenly over the top of chocolate layer.

• Sit the tray in the fridge for about an hour to cool and set.
• Remove from fridge and break into pieces.
• Serve and Enjoy!

Quick and Easy Carrot Salad Recipe

As always there are many variations of this recipe and half the fun of cooking is adjusting and adding things in to make it your own. Some people use pineapple instead of the apple and sometimes chopped nuts are a good addition  if you are in the mood for them. My friend adds sweet shredded coconut to hers which is really good for a change sometimes. I get creative with additions sometimes, but there are those times when I am in the mood for just plain old carrot salad.

The hardest part of this recipe is grating the carrots and that is  so easy with a food processor. Here is a nice Hamilton Beach 70730 Bowl Scraper Food Processor at a good price just in case you might need it for this and other recipes. I love my food processor. It is a kitchen tool I use almost every day.

Here is what you will need to make this Quick and Easy Carrot Salad Recipe:
½ cup golden raisins
1 pound carrots
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ to ½ cup mayonnaise (can vary by taste or ingredient bulk)
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 large cup diced fresh apple (I use Honey Crisp)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Grate the carrots in a food processor with the grating blade.
• Place the grated carrots in a medium bowl, add the lemon juice and toss.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar and salt.
• Pour the dressing over the carrots and add the apple and raisins and toss.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
• Serve and Enjoy!

Fried Rice; Frugal, Quick and Easy!

This recipe is a great way to use up any leftover meat or veggies you may have. It is also a great way to stretch leftovers to get another meal out of it. I use pork from a roast or ribs, leftover chicken or even steak or shrimp. One of my favorite meats to use is leftover Grilled Baby Back Ribs. You can use any veggies you like and have on hand such as peas, corn, carrots, or celery. If I have them I sometimes add water chestnuts to give it a little crunch. If you prefer a vegetarian fried rice saute your veggies in a little olive oil and prepare without adding the meat.

NOTE: One thing to remember about this recipe is that the rice is always better if you make it the night before or early in the morning so it has time to chill. It makes it separate easier and gives it that restaurant quality texture.

Here is what you will need to make this Fried Rice Recipe:

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup leftover meat, chicken, beef, pork
8-12 scallions, chopped (one bundle)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 cups cooked rice, cold
1 cup frozen green peas
1 package fried rice seasoning mix

• Mix seasoning mix with 3 tablespoons of water and set aside.
• Fry the bacon in a large pan or wok over medium heat until crisp.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
• Add scallions and cook about 1 minute.
• Add eggs, cook stirring constantly until scrambled.
• Add rice, meat, and frozen peas to pan, stirring over heat to separate.
• Add seasoning mixture and soy sauce stirring to mix everything together.
• Heat through and serve.
• Enjoy!

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes Served with Zesty Mustard Sauce!

The potatoes are parboiled to make them easy to slide onto the skewers and with the shallots. Grilling or cooking them under the broiler gives the potatoes and onions a nice caramelized flavor. We like to have roasted fingerling potatoes with homemade chicken breast strips. This way we get double use from the mustard dipping sauce. If you happen to be cooking something on the grill you can add the potatoes to finish cooking instead of using the broiler. If you don’t have any skewers in the house roast them on a foil-lined pan. They are also great brushed with butter rather than olive oil.

Here is what you will need to make these Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Mustard Sauce: 

1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes
3 Shallots, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt

Mustard Sauce ingredients:

2 egg yolks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
2 garlic cloves
salt and pepper to taste

• Place salt, pepper, garlic, egg yolks and lemon juice in blender;  pulse until smooth.
• With blender running slowly pour olive oil in top opening until thick and creamy.
• Add mustard and honey.
• Chill until ready to serve.

• Boil potatoes for about 5 minutes, just until fork tender.
• Drain potatoes and dry.
• Preheat Broiler to high or 500 degrees F.
• Place potatoes and shallots on skewers.
• Rub with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with salt.

• Cook under preheated broiler for about 10 minutes, turning a few times, until tender.
• Remove from oven.
• Serve with mustard dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!
