Life has gotten the better of me.<br />
<br />
In the spirit of Fall, I ran across this recipe that is a 'must try' sometime soon. I love to bake, bake and bake some more... <a href="http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/caramel-apple-biscuit-pops/e027b026-9642-4467-891d-8e61eb680236/">here</a> is the recipe, it comes from Pillsbury.<br />

8 eggs<br />
2 Tbsp Milk<br />
1/4 c chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed)<br />
6 bacon slices, cooked & crumbled (I used Canadian Bacon)<br />
Shredded cheese<br />
Salsa<br />
Ranch Dressing<br />
Ketchup<br />
<br />
Scramble eggs with the milk with the spinach tossed in. Heat tortillas as directed on package. Arrange small bowls (or mix the bacon and eggs together - this is what I did), on the table for each ingredient so you can pick and choose what to put in the tortilla and fold into a delicious breakfast taco.<br />
<br />
I wish I remembered to get a picture of it before diving it, for sure next time.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S</span>! </div><br />
1 1/2 c water<br />
2 tsp chicken bouillon granules (I used a cube, it's all I had)<br />
2 onions, thinly sliced (I used one and just chopped it up)<br />
1 red bell pepper, sliced (once again, I chopped it)<br />
1 green bell pepper, sliced (same as above)<br />
2 ribs celery, thinly sliced (once again, chopped)<br />
8 chicken thighs, skinned<br />
1/2 c extra crunchy peanut butter (I used regular crunchy p.b.)<br />
crushed chili pepper of your choice (I left this out, I am not fond of heat)<br />
<br />
Combine water, chicken bouillon, celery, onions and peppers in slow cooker. Spread p.butter over both sides of chicken pieces (<em>I just tossed it in after the chicken and mixed -- touching raw chicken makes me squirm</em>). Sprinkle with chili pepper. Place on top of ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 5-6 hrs. Serves 4.<br />

<br />
My kids aren't fond of whole wheat bread, but they just can't get enough of this bread. I made some on Monday, and I am about to pull a third loaf out of my freezer... talk about awsome, wholesome, delicious bread!<br />
<br />
Don't freak out... the dough is supposed to be like cookie dough... I never have made a bread that is supposed to be this sticky, but tastes SOOOOOOO yummy.<br />

Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Brown beef and onion in skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to break up meat. Drain fat. Stir in pasta sauce and spinach. Spoon on top of spaghetti mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Use small cookie cutter to cut decorative shapes from bell pepper. Arrange on top of cheese. Cover with foil.

1 2/3 c instant nonfat dry milk<br />
-- or you can use 4 c milk instead of the water and powdered milk--<br />
2-4 Tbsp store bought, plain yogurt w/live cultures <em>(read label to be sure there are live cultures)</em><br />
<br />
In a large bowl, combine water and powdered milk. Stir very well and let sit for a few minutes. All powdered milk should be dissolved. Heat milk over medium heat until it reaches 180*F. This kills off any bacteria. Remove from heat and stove and allow to cool to 110*F. If the milk is any hotter, it will kill the yogurt cultures. Add the store bought yogurt to the warm milk, stir well until yogurt is dissolved completely. Carefully pour the mixture into a very clean, quart-sized canning jar. Incubate the yogurt in the oven which is set to about 100*F -between warm and 200*F (my electric oven has a warming temp) for 6-8 hours or until set almost as thick as store bought yogurt. Chill and eat. <br />
<br />
<em>I buy a big container of plain yogurt, use the 2-4 Tbps and then freeze the rest of the yogurt (I use ice cube trays - 1 Tbsp for each cube). Once they are frozen, I remove and put into a freezer bag and store in the freezer. When I am ready to make some more yogurt, I pull out the cubes and let them thaw while I am heating the milk.</em>Lovin Recipeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09834261192922468947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000210997782416301.post-75870570163398989612010-02-14T09:16:00.000-08:002010-02-14T09:16:55.601-08:00Homemade Granola1/2 c butter (1 stick)<br />
1 c brown sugar<br />
1/4 c water<br />
4 c rolled oats<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 375*F. In large 4 qt pot, melt the butter and sugar in the water. Stir well and let simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat add the oats into the pot, making sure the oats get evenly coated. Spread the Granola out on a cookie sheet (one with sides). Bake it for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool, then break into small pieces. To store, put it into an airtight container or a gallon sized Ziplock bag. You can add nuts, dried fruit or some cinnamon to it if you like as well.
