Basic Crepes

4 Eggs (1/4 C. Dehydrated Eggs + 1/2 C. Water)

1 C. Flour (1/2 C. Whole Wheat Flour + 1/2 C. All Purpose Flour)

1 C. Milk (3 T. Powdered Milk + 1 C. Water)

2 T. Butter, Melted

2 t. Sugar

1/2 t. Salt

Measure all ingredient into blender (you don’t need to re-constitute your eggs or milk just throw the powder and milk in and let the blender do the work!). Pour scant 1/4 C. batter onto lightly greased 8″ pan. (You’ll know your pan is hot enough when you throw water on the pan and it “dances” around the pan.) Tilt pan to coat bottom evenly with batter. (Basically, move the pan around until the batter is a circle and fills the pan) Cook over medium heat until brown and turn to brown second side.

Old Fashioned Brownies

This recipie for brownies is my son's favorite. He is now 21 but ever since he was small he would ask me to make these anytime his friends came over. They all loved them! To this day, when I see his friends they always mention how much they loved this treat!



They're fast & DELICIOUS. And the great thing about this recipe is that you can dress them up for company by cutting them up like petit fours and putting some white frosting with a cherry, or you might just pour regular chocolate chips after they come out of the oven and spread it around after the chips are melted (cheaper than buying frosting). You can swirl them with cream cheese (mixed with one egg & 1/4 c. sugar) before putting them in the oven and make swirl brownies--quite honestly--they're great!

2 Eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. old stale strong coffee

3/4 stick butter

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup all purpose flour

Melt butter & chocolate chips in the microwave for 1 minute (stir to blend). Meanwhile, in medium size bowl, beat eggs lightly with a a wooden spoon. Stir in sugar, salt, vanilla, & coffee. Add the melted butter and chocolate chips to the mix. Stir in flour until it is all well blended. Do not overbeat! Spread mixture into a greased 8 inch square pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes. Brownies should still be soft and not overdone. Let cool in pan and cut into 12 regular size or 24 small bars.

CutOut Cookies

This is the recipe for sugar cookies that my Mom has been making since I was little--and I still think they are the best ever! I truly believe it is the nutmeg in the recipe--it gives it such an interesting taste! For icing, just use your favorite powdered sugar recipe. The other recipe is one my Mom got from a lady at church--they were always a hit at Potlucks!



4 C. sifted all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp nutmeg

3/4 c butter, softened

1 1/4 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract



On sheet of waxed paper, sift flour with baking powder, salt & nutmeg, set aside.



In large bowl, beat on high speed the butter, granulated sugar, eggs & vanilla until light & fluffy.



With wooden spoon, stir in 1/2 of flour mixture. Stir in remaining flour mixture, mixing with hands if necessary.



Refrigerate dough, covered, several hours.



Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into 4 parts, refrigerate until ready to roll out. Roll out dough, 1/8" thick.



Place cut out cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.



Bake 8 min or until set & lightly browned around the edges.



Let cool, and frost. Makes 3-4 dozen.

{Musician}

 

Growing up, there was a path that diverged and I took the path towards dance instead of music. I love dance and enjoyed it throughout my childhood and teenage years but I always kind of wished I could play a fun musical instrument like accoustic guitar. Props to those of you that have taken that path!  Thanks for stopping by ~ Tina

10 things you should not refrigerate.

 

 Certain items are at their prime when stored at room temperature.

Hot Sauce
It can live happily in the pantry for up to three years.

Potatoes
Refrigeration adversely affects their flavor, so store in the pantry in paper bags (plastic bags trap moisture and speed decay). Most varieties should last three weeks.

Bread
The refrigerator dries it out fast. Instead, keep what you’ll eat within four days at room temperature and freeze the rest.

Onions
They like their original mesh bag (or any bag that allows for air circulation) in the pantry. But keep them away from potatoes, which emit moisture and gases that can cause onions to rot.

Batteries
Stash in a drawer at room temperature. Extreme cold (or heat) can diminish performance.

Garlic
It will do well for two months in the pantry. Store loose, so air can move around it.

Tomatoes
They can get mealy in the fridge, so leave them on a counter, out of plastic bags. To speed ripening, store in a paper bag. Once ripe, they’ll last for about three days.

Coffee
The fridge (and the freezer) create condensation, which can affect the flavor of both ground coffee and coffee beans. Coffee fares best in an airtight container in the pantry.

Nail Polish
Keeping it in the fridge can cause it to thicken. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Winter Squashes
Varieties such as acorn, butternut, delicata, and spaghetti will last for about a month or more in the pantry

Fruit And Cheese Kabobs

• Fruit – I used strawberries, pineapple and red and green grapes

• Cheese cubes – I used colby and cheddar

• Iceberg lettuce

• Bamboo Skewers

Wash and cut up the fruit and then alternate fruit and cheese on each skewer. I initially thought I would leave the head of lettuce whole so the skewers would be secure, but my sweet mother-in-law was extra helpful and washed the lettuce and tore it in pieces. At first I thought it was going to be a total flop, but truly it worked out okay.

I’ve seen kabobs displayed in whole heads of iceberg lettuce on a platter, but since I already planned to use a trifle bowl, a potential fail was averted. Isn’t it pretty?


I love that it looks a little like Spring….which I wish was closer than it is!
