Recipe: Butter Dips

It's been a bit rainy in these parts, so you know that means soup weather. Also, my neighbor had surgery last week, so I got to take dinner in to her last night - what better after surgery than yummy homemade soup - with BUTTER DIPS!! Butter Dips make everything better. After all, anything with Butter in the title has to be good, right?? Here is the recipe:

BUTTER DIPS
1/4 cup Butter
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 cup Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup Milk

Turn oven to 450. Place butter in square baking dish and melt in oven. Mix rest of ingredients together. Roll out on floured surface to 1/2" thick. Cut into strips about 1 1/2" wide and 5" long (I use a pizza cutter). Dip each into the melted butter, on both sides and lay in pan. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake @ 450 for 10-15 minutes.

Serve warm!!

I should have taken a picture, but they were gone before I thought of it. These are a quick and easy bread stick to go with just about anything. They're a hit with our family - see what they do for yours!!

Oh, and the soup I make was a corn chowder (we have oodles of fresh corn around here right now) from Tyler Florence on Food Network. Click here if you want that recipe. I added bacon to mine - because I like bacon. I'm sure it would be good without it though. Enjoy!!

Recipe: PW's Enchilada's

I love enchiladas. I've made them several different ways - using straight enchilada sauce, mixing it with tomato soup, and even making my own sauce from scratch. All are good, by the way. But Monday I tried PW's recipe, and I must say that it is my favorite. For real. Click here for the play by play/photo by photo on how to make them. I didn't have olives, so they were omitted, but I think they might be good. So go on, give them a try. You might be surprised!

Yummy crepes!!!

My kids absolutely love these. They are a little time consuming but they are worth it - especially if you have a good jam (raspberry is my favorite).

Crepes (makes about 24 crepes)

6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup water
6 Tbs melted butter
1 ½ cup flour
1 tsp salt

Mix all in blender for about 1 minute. Cook in a frying pan over medium heat. Spray well with Pam between each crepe. Pour just enough to cover bottom of pan, tipping and tilting pan.

Spread jam or chocolate syrup or any topping you like over the crepe when it is finished cooking.

Recipe: Creamed Potatoes and Peas

More garden goodness. Red potatoes. Is there anything better? One of our favorite ways to eat the fresh red potatoes is with peas and sauce. The recipe I make is basically like this one. Try it out - you'll be pleasantly surprised. Goes great with any kind of meat, or go vegetarian with a salad and some other fun veggies. Enjoy!
