CINNAMON PULL-APART BREAD

 


3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 cans refrigerated country biscuits
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) preheat over to 350, grease fluted tube pan

2.) cut biscuit dough into quarters

3.) roll dough quarters in cinnamon sugar mix

4.) place half of the cinnamon covered biscuits in pan drizzle 1/4 cup of melted butter

5.) top with remaining biscuit quarters and top with last 1/4 cup of melted butter

6.) put the rest of cinnamon sugar mixture on top

7.) bake 40 to 45 minutes

8.) put upside down on plate, take pan off

9.) make a glaze with 1/2 a small brick of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of icing sugar and 1 to

2 Tbsp of milk, whip well with mixer and spoon over warm bread.

10.) EAT , ENJOY, BE HAPPY , only share if you want to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now just for your info I don't have a fluted tube pan so I made it the first time in a round cake pan, it worked but ended up having to re-bake the middle. 2ND time I lined the biscuit balls around the sides of my round cake pan and took a small pat lid and placed in the middle it worked. So if you don't have then this could be a saving grace. But I know for me I am going to break down and get one of those pans.

Lana's homemade Mac N Cheese - per request

 

1 pkg small macaroni noodles
1lb Velveeta Cheese
1/4 cup Milk
2 TBS Butter


in a medium saucepan, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil, then add noodles and salt them ... I don't have a measurement for it but I usually shake my shaker 3 or 4 good times, it usually take about 8 minutes for the noodles to get perfect. (While you are waiting for that, cut your Velveeta in to nice cubes, the smaller the better) Drain the noodles and put them back into the saucepan, turn stove down to low temp, add butter and milk and stir, then add your Velveeta cubes and stir until melted, don't forget to turn your stove off after cheese is melted.

Rosted Pears with Red Wine

 

4 Bosc, Bartlett, or Anjou pears, stems intact.

Pears that are just beginning to ripen are perfect for this recipe.  When shopping for them, test their ripeness by applying a little pressure right next to the stem.  If it gives a little they are perfect.  If it doesn't  give at all they will be too hard.

 

1 c raisins

About 3 tsp butter at room temperature.

1/2 c sugar

1 1/2 c dry red wine, a good Italian Chianti

1 bay leaf

2 or 3 cinnamon sticks

finely ground black pepper.

 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Trim the bottoms of the pears slightly so that they will stand upright and peel the top halves with a paring knife or vegetable peeler.  Core the pears from the bottom using a melon baller ( you are just making a hole in the bottom of each pear.  Stuff the bottoms with the raisins ( you won't need all of them at this time)

 2 Arrange the pears in a 9x13 inch baking pan.  Rub the top of each pear with 1/2 tsp of butter.  sprinkle the sugar evenly over the pears. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the pears.  Pour the wine into the pan.  Add the bay leaf, cinnamon sticks,, a large pinch of pepper, and the remaining raisins and place in the oven.

 3 Roast 30 minutes to 1 hour, pasting every 10-15 minutes until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife.  The liquid will become quite syrupy.  If the pears are tender before the syrup has reduced,carefully transfer the pears to a large plate and reduce the liquid in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens.  Once thick, return the pears and syrup to the backing pan.  As they cool, continue to baste the pears frequently for 15 -20 minutes.  Transer the pears to a platter and pour the syrup and raisins over them.

Chocolate Chip Pie

 

1/2 cup margarine, melted

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

2 eggs (beaten)

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup chopped nuts ( I use walnuts )

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 gram cracker crust



In a large bowl, stir margarine, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla, nuts, and chips. pour into crust and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until center is set and looks like a chocolate chip cookie.





Sandie's note: I use milk chocolate chips only cause I like them better, the same with walnuts but you cause use any kind of nuts you want. My daughter uses a unbaked pie shell and it is ok but I love the way it turns out in the gram cracker crust. I love to cut into this as soon as it comes out of the oven when it is real hot and but a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and just melt into my easy chair. If you need a sugar rush this will do it.

 PEACH PIE

 

 

 



1 unbaked pie shell

2 1/2 cups sliced peaches

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs



Heat oven to 375, Mix sliced peaches with sugar, beat up an egg and mix well with peaches and sugar. Pour into pie shell and bake for 40 minutes.



I serve this with vanilla ice cream to cut the sweetness. But oh my God it just brings back memories of sitting on the porch with my grandma on a hot summer night.

chocolate covered cherry cookies
 
1 jar of maraschino cherries
1 bag of chocolate chips
your favorite sugar cookie recipe or store bought sugar cookie dough
 
 
drain out the cherries saving the juice.  take the drained cherries and one at a time place one cherry inside a ball of the cookie dough so the dough is a ball completely surrounding the cherry.  lay them on a baking sheet and bake them according to the cookie dough recipe.  bake them all off and cool. 
 
in a bowl mix the chocolate chips with a few tablespoons of the juice from the cherries not enough to thin out the chocolate just enough to flavor it.  then microwave just barely enough to melt the chips...remember that they will be the same size and shape melted as cold so take it a few seconds at a time and stir in between to make sure they don't burn.  when the cookies are cooled and the chocolate is melted dip the cookies into the melted chocolate to coat them completely and set aside to dry and harden.  they make a lovely Christmas cookie.

  easy banana pudding with a twist
 
ingredients:
 
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese softened
1 8 oz package of non dairy whipped topping(cool whip)
2 cups cold milk
1 box powdered instant vanilla pudding mix.
bananas
either shortbread cookies, vanilla wafers or another cookie you like that can be laid flat.
 
this recipe is very variable.  it can be made with sugar free all except the sweetened condensed milk.  it can also be done fat free completely as they do sell fat free sweetened condensed milk and if you use fat free cream cheese, sugar free pudding, fat free or sugar free cool whip and skim milk its really not all that fattening and fantastically decadent.
 
mix the pudding mix with the milk as directed on the box and set aside. 
 
in another bowl mix softened cream cheese  with the can of sweetened condensed milk. 
then add the made pudding to the cream cheese mixture and mix thoroughly.  then mix in the entire container of cool whip.
 
in an 8x 13 baking pan lie the cookies in a sheet on the bottom in a flat row.  then lie slices of bananas to coat the cookies again in a flat row.  then top with the finished pudding mixture and cover with more cookies to cover the top in a flat row.  refrigerate then serve.
 
this is the twist folks....
 
if you omit the cookies and use berries instead as i do, you would take the berries and put them in a bowl or glass and then top with the pudding/cream its an awesome low fat low sugar dessert that tastes like pastry cream from a bakery its absolutely amazing!!!
