Cinnamon Bread

-

 

My boys love any sort of bread for breakfast. I came across this one in a cookbook called Sunday Dinners at Grandma's. The boys loved it, and although it isn't the healthiest thing on Earth it also isn't meant to be eaten in its entirety. 

I was out of buttermilk, so I combined 1T white vinegar with 1 c milk

Ingredients:

1/2 c shortening

1 c sugar

2 eggs

2 c all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 c buttermilk

3 T sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Blend shortening and 1 c sugar in large bowl with mixer. Beat in eggs. Set aside. In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to shortening mixture, a little at a time alternating with buttermilk. In another small bowl, mix cinnamon and 1 T sugar. Grease a loaf pan (I use Baker's Joy spray) and add 1/4 of batter. Top with cinnamon sugar. Continue for 4 layers total. Bake for an hour and cool on wire rack.

  It is COLD in the South right now. I made this soup a few weeks ago, and the boys all loved it. It was easy, and it was really good. I bought a roll of rosemary bread from the bakery section at Kroger, and it was perfect to soak up the liquid. Ingredients 2 T EVOO 2 T salted butter 1 yellow onion, chopped 2 shallots, chopped 2 ribs celery, chopped 6 carrots, chopped 2 T thyme leaves 1 T sage leaves chopped 1 T chopped rosemary 1 bay leaf 1/3 c dry sherry 8 c low sodium chicken broth 1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs, I used breasts because that is what I had 1/3 c shaved parmesan 2-3 cups egg noodles, I used a protein egg noodle 1/4 c chopped parsley, I omitted because I hate fresh parsley with a passion Directions: Recipe Link ▢

Meatloaf

 I got this recipe from Southern Living years ago. Apparently, it's how Miranda Lambert's mom makes meatloaf. I usually half the recipe and make some mashed potatoes and broccoli to go with it. If you make the whole recipe, I would suggest shaping into 2 thin loaves before baking to cook all the way through a little better. Also, I ALWAYS bake the whole time with the sauce on vs putting it on at the end. Even if I half the recipe, I still use the same amount of pepper and onion. I usually add more if I make the whole recipe. I wish meatloaf made for a prettier picture, but let's face it - it ain't pretty. *I often make it ahead to the baking stage and pop into oven when preparing the rest of dinner Ingredients: 2 lbs ground beef 1 lb pork sausage, I use Italian 2 eggs, lightly beaten 18 saltine crackers, crushed 1/2 green pepper, diced 1/2 yellow onion, diced 1 T Worcestershire 1 t yellow mustard 1/2 c. brown sugar,  divided 1/2 c. ketchup Directions: https://www.sout h...

Instant Pot Ribs

This week my youngest asked for ribs. These are easy and pretty quick if you have an instant pot. I added some baked beans (Bush's canned) and made a side of "Crack Hashbrown Casserole" (recipe coming soon). This time I bought the preseasoned ribs from Kroger, but I usually either make a rub or use one for ribs from the store. Ingredients:   Rib Rack(I usually buy baby back ribs) Rib Rub BBQ sauce of choice 1 c water 1/2 c cider vinegar 1 tsp liquid smoke Directions: Take ribs from packaging and rub if not preseasoned. Pour water, cider vinegar, and liquid smoke in instant pot. Place rack in instant pot and curl rib rack on its side. Seal top and set on Meat Setting for 25 min. Allow to natural release for 10 min and then release pressure. Place rib rack on sheet pan and brush with BBQ sauce of choice. Broil until the sauce is carmelized and bubbling. Enjoy!
