A Cozy Home – Homemade Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe

Kristen — Tue, 19 Jan 2016 01:35:02 +0000

My thoughts on a cozy home and a homemade Honey Oatmeal Bread Recipe.

One of the best compliments someone can share with me is to say my home is cozy, warm and inviting. I hope people walk into our home and feel at ease, like a cozy quilt wrapped around them.

Of course, with 4 kids in the house, cozy is sometimes hard to achieve, but we still try. I love having quilts all around, soft lamp lighting and candles lit, as well as some kind of soft, calming music playing. I always say I don’t keep my house spotless because I want anyone and everyone to feel comfortable walking in the door (of course, I say that’s my excuse for not keeping a perfect house, anyway…;) ). …

Recipe: Mouth Watering Bread Machine Breadsticks

Kristen — Tue, 12 Jan 2016 03:01:52 +0000

Get back to basics with this Beginner Breadsticks Recipe, made in the bread machine and with instructions by hand as well.

I’ll be the first to admit that I sometimes over complicate things. Especially when it comes to cooking and baking. Instead of heading for my tried and trusty recipes, I always find myself searching the internet, magazines and cookbooks looking for something “newer and better”. This leaves my tried and true recipes… the ones that are tried and true because they are AMAZING…sitting in dusty corners, sometimes to be forgotten….

Herb and Sun Dried Tomato Pull Apart Bread Recipe

Kristen — Thu, 12 Nov 2015 16:21:19 +0000

A homemade bread recipe that will fill your home with the comforting aroma of herbs and fresh baked bread. This Herb and Sun Dried Tomato Pull Apart Bread featuring Fleischmann’s® Yeast is one of my favorite homemade bread recipes, yet!

Friends, I am so excited to share this homemade bread recipe with you to today. I’ve made a lot of bread over the past 9 years on Dine & Dish and I’ve loved so many of them, but this Herb and Sun Dried Tomato Pull Apart bread may be one of my favorite bread recipes, yet.

Here’s what I love about making homemade bread… it’s kind of like magic. You put a little flour, eggs, milk, salt, etc. into a bowl, add some Fleischmann’s® Yeast, and before you know it after some kneading, time and a little bit of patience, you have a beautiful loaf of homemade bread in front of you. OK, there may be a little more involved than that, but homemade bread is really such a simple thing once you’ve had some practice. Every time I make a loaf, I feel like I’m baking up a little bit of happiness in a pan. People love homemade bread…and sharing it with others is such a great gift! …

Kitchen Conversations {Recipe: Bread Machine Challah}

This post, about the importance of face-to-face time in the kitchen, is sponsored by Bon Appetit and Epicurious.

This girl…

For the past 10 years she’s been my biggest helper in the kitchen. I couldn’t wait to get her in, cooking with me. As soon as she could sit up, I’d drag her high chair in and she’d sit watching me cook, banging measuring cups on her tray. She soon went from watching, to doing, and now… at the age of 10, can take on many recipes with little supervision….

A Look at the Next 365 Days {Recipe: Country Oatmeal Bread}

Kristen — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:33:57 +0000

I grew up in a home where bread with stuff in it was the norm. Hearty whole grain bread with oatmeal, nuts, wheat bits and more… the more stuff baked inside the bread, the better. I not so affectionately called it old people bread. Oh, how I longed for soft, tender pieces of white Wonder bread. It rarely happened… at our house my parents loved old people bread so that’s what we all got.

Fast forward to today… I can’t get enough of old people bread. I love real butter slathered on a slice of whole grain bread or thick oatmeal bread…or “oldmeal” bread….

A Breakfast Solution {Recipe: Sausage and Cheese on Homemade English Muffins}

Kristen — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:40:53 +0000

I have a confession to make. I Love, with a capital L, Sausage Cheese McMuffins from McDonald’s.

I blame it on Leah. This love began when I was pregnant with her. I couldn’t stomach meat of any kind, but for some reason craved Sausage Cheese McMuffins like they were going out of style. It was probably a good thing McDonald’s only had a short time window for breakfast, or I’d have a perpetual spot in their drive thru.

Pregnancy came and went but my craving for the Sausage Cheese McMuffins stuck around. Seriously, isn’t it a perfect little breakfast idea? Hand held, with sausage and cheese (a breakfast combo of champions) and super tasty.

I hate giving up money to McDonald’s though, especially when I know I can make something better at home. Enter Homemade English Muffins, made simple in the bread machine. Seriously, friends… I took one bite and wanted to kick myself for not making these at home sooner. You can’t get ANYTHING close to these at the super market. If you can, I sure haven’t found them on any of my store shelves.

So, here you have it…breakfast, lunch or dinner right here, in your own kitchen, with your very own Sausage and Cheese on Homemade English Muffins. Enjoy!

All this talk of sausage makes me think of my favorite Kansas Pork Farmers and the awesome tailgate giveaway the Kansas Pork Association has going on right now! You have until September 26th, 2012 to head over to the KSPA Facebook page for a really great tailgating giveaway they have going on right now! This $800 giveaway includes (4) tickets to the KSU vs KU football game, a Weber Q 300 grill, 4 fold-able lawn chairs, a Coleman cooler, grilling utensil set, digital probe thermometer, digital pocket thermometer, marinade injector, rib rack, 6 different types of rub, 2 types of BBQ sauces, a ton of other stuff and $50 worth of pork coupons.This is one game they won’t want to miss!

Homemade English Muffins for the Bread Machine

Homemade English Muffins for the Bread Machine. Recipe from Food.com For the Sausage and Cheese "McMuffin", simply toast and butter a sliced English Muffin, top with one pork sausage patty and a slice of Cheddar or American cheese.

Ingredients

1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast I recommend Red Star Yeast
cornmeal

Instructions

Place ingredients except the cornmeal in your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Choose the dough cycle setting and start.
Once dough cycle is complete, dump out the dough onto a surface with a light coating of cornmeal. (Dough will be somewhat wet...that's good!)
Sprinkle a small amount of cornmeal onto each side of the dough.
Using your hands, flatten out the dough into a 1 inch thick rectangle.
Cut into 8 to 10 rounds.
Place rounds onto a cookie sheet, cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
Heat a griddle to 350°F. Place dough rounds onto hot griddle and cook for 7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Note: Once flipped you'll notice they've puffed up some... I used a spatula and slightly flattened them)
