Monkey Bread

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:20:32 -0500

Today’s recipe is Monkey Bread. My mom used to make this when we were little, but she didn’t make it all the time…it was kind of a special treat. But I loved it, so here is her recipe.

Ingredients:

4 pkg (tubes) Pillsbury dinner rolls

1 cup sugar

1 T cinnamon

1 cup brown sugar

1 stick of butter/margarine

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Separate the dinner rolls and cut each one into fourths. Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into balls and coat with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place in greased bundt pan. Mix together the brown sugar, butter/margarine and vanilla in a pan on the stovetop. Cook until it boils, then pour over the dough balls. Bake for 30 minutes. Pull apart and enjoy!

Grandma's cookies

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:54:29 -0500

OK, so I’ve skipped the last couple days, but here’s another recipe. I know this isn’t much of a recipe but it brings back memories. See, my grandma doesn’t bake. She never has. Our birthday cakes when she was in charge were piles of Hostess twinkies or cupcakes or ding dongs with candles stuck in them. Her “homemade” cookies come from the grocery store…except for these. Trust me, they’re really easy or she wouldn’t make them.

Ingredients:

graham crackers

store-bought frosting

That’s all you need. Guess what you do? Put the frosting on one half of a graham cracker, then put the other half of the graham cracker on top. Enjoy!

Goulash recipe

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:26:21 -0500

So, here’s my easy, breezy goulash recipe. You need a 12 inch skillet that can go in the oven to make this one.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 qt. tomato juice

2 cups uncooked pasta (smaller noodles work best)

Italian seasoning to taste

grated mozzarella or parmesan to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brown the ground beef and onions in the pan on the stovetop. Drain the grease. Add tomato juice, pasta, and seasoning, then stir. Bake for 25-40 minutes. Add cheese and let melt slightly before serving.

STOP USING RGB COLORS FOR ANY PRINT ADVERTISING.

STOP.

IT’S CMYK.

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU PERSIST.

AH-MEN!
this is a huge huge source of frustration for me on a daily basis.

My frustration on this is opposite…we want RGB for the TV commercials we produce and are frustrated when we get CMYK (not that it’s a hard fix). I also love when the clients say, “Can’t you just take my logo off my website/business card/etc.?” Yes we can, but it doesn’t look pretty on TV.

Cucumber Salsa

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:43:00 -0500

This is a recipe I got from my cousin Jamie. She just gave me the ingredients and said to just kind of throw it all together. I’m going to put in the amounts that I use, but fair warning, this makes a TON of salsa…like pot-luck amounts of salsa. Experiment with amounts and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 med-lg cucumber

2 bell peppers (any color)

1/2 onion

2 large tomatoes

1 can green chilis

2 lids lime juice (or about 2 tsp)

2 lids olive oil (or about 2 tsp)

pepper & garlic salt to taste

Just chop up all the veggies and throw everything in a bowl. Mix it up really good and serve with corn chips.

i've decided...

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:38:51 -0500

that i’m going to start posting some of my favorite recipes on here. i’d like to say that i’ll post at least one per day, but i can’t guarantee that. i will say that i will try to post one every day…so on to the first recipe.
