Easy King Cake for Mardi Gras or Super Bowl

February 4, 2010 by Tiffany

I found this idea in the current issue of Taste of the South magazine. King Cake is traditionally served on Mardi Gras, which is coming up. But I did manage to pick up enough of the Super Bowl talk to know that the New Orleans Saints are playing. I think this cake might be a fun addition to your Super Bowl food. Unless, of course, you’re a fan of the Colts. (For the record, I had to ask my husband and son who the other team is. I also had to verify the name of the New Orleans team. Yeah, I’m not much of a football fan.)

Here are the 2 ingredients you’ll need for this version of King Cake: [Read more...]

Angel Biscuits

January 28, 2010 by Tiffany

These soft biscuits are so good, with a bit of yeast flavor. You can eat them for breakfast or serve them at dinner. The recipe makes a bunch, but the dough stores in the fridge for a few days. I think you could also roll and cut them, then freeze them for later. [Read more...]

Next time, I’m going to double this recipe. This bread is good stuff. I made it on Thanksgiving Day to go with our soup. My mom gave me the recipe, but I think it originally comes from Taste of Home Magazine. Don’t be afraid of the yeast in this recipe. It’s very easy to make. [Read more...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins

Go out to your kitchen and grab a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam, then make these muffins. Wait. Read this post and then go make the muffins.

It’s no secret that I love peanut butter. These muffins have a deep peanut butter flavor, like peanut butter cookies. The fruity jam in the center compliments perfectly. No wonder PB&J is a classic combo.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them: [Read more...]

The other morning I woke up and realized there was no food to serve for breakfast. And I had company. (Please tell me I’m not the only person this unprepared!) These muffins came to the rescue, as they have in the past. They’re also good to fill out a meal of soup.

Olive Oil with Garlic and Italian Seasonings for Bread Dipping

May 9, 2009 by Tiffany

I like to go to restaurants that serve warm bread and olive oil for dipping. It’s easy to do the same thing at home to dress up dinner or tide everyone over until it’s ready.

Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins

March 24, 2009 by Tiffany

I adapted this recipe from the Poppy Seed Muffin recipe. I like to double the recipe and if the kids don’t eat them all straight out of the oven, I put some in the freezer. They can be heated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, one at a time and make a good snack.

Here’s what you’ll need, minus the eggs which didn’t make it into the picture.

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1 stick butter, softened

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

3/4 cups sour cream or plain yogurt

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups. In a mixer bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the sour cream or yogurt and the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, just until moistened. Stir in the blueberries and divide the batter between the muffin cups. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
