baked potato bar

Tonight we will be having baked potatoes with what ever I can find to go on top... so far we have

Chili

green onions

sour cream

cheese

leftover stroganoff (see recipe from thursday)

This is a great way to use up leftovers from the week because you can put just about anything on baked potatoes!!

I just washed and pierced 4 small Idaho Spuds and put them in the oven at 375 You can raise this temp as high as 425 if you are in a hurry but I have lots of time and I like them to bake a little slower as the middle gets softer and the outside gets crunchier.

As side dish i'm thinking green beans!

Mom's Yummy Breadsticks

This Recipe is from my mother. we always made these when she made Vegetable beef soup. and I know there were other times we made them I just cant think of it right now.

1 1/2 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Yeast

Dissolve 1 T sugar and yeast in warm water.

4 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup sugar

Add flour, salt and 1/2 cup sugar mix well, let rest 15 minutes.
Divide in to 18 sticks and bake, brush on melted butter
sprinkle with Parmasean cheese or pretzel salt if desired.
Oven temp 375

Bake time 9 min.

Tonight I made braided breadsitcks and then some rolls just to try it out and see how it works.

Made up Stroganoff

So for dinner tonight we are going to have Stroganoff... I have no clue how to really make stroganoff so I am just making it up as I go here is what I have done so far

browned 2 LBS Stew beef
added 1/2 package of Onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 of said can of heavy cream
2 large spoonfulls of sour cream

let simmer on the stove

Now normally I would probably use wide Egg noodles at this point but unfortunately I don't have any so Spaghetti it is!

Side dishes will consist of mashed sweet potatoes, and Moms yummy Breadsticks (recipe to follow)

In the begining

There was a stay at home mom (SAHM) whom was days away from giving birth to her 2nd little boy. and this mom had been sharing recipes with some online buddies and decided that it would be a good Idea to start a blog about what she was making. If for no other reason then to have the ability to go back and find recipes again!

And so the mother said let there be Blogging... and cooking... and eating... and it was good!
