Crepes

1 c all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp salt
2 T butter or margerine, melted

Place ingredients in blender in order given. Blend 30 seconds, stop and stir down sides, Blend 30-60 seconds until smooth. Makes about 16 crepes.

I have a crepe maker that I got at Bed Bath and Beyond. It makes great crepes. Otherwise, I have heard you can make them in a pan over the stove.

Fill with whatever you want!

Tastes fabulous with homemade cream cheese frosting. Of course I can't have that right now but discovered that Duncan Hines vanilla frosting is yummy on it too!

Allison's "lifted" Easy Breadsticks

So it's not a secret that I really don't like to cook. But I tried these breadsticks at a scrapping night here in Price and was promised that they were easy to make, so I tried them last night because Jacob wanted homemade crazy bread to go with our homemade pizza. So here's the recipe as copied from LyNae's blog:

Okay so I just made these bread sticks for the first time tonight... they are seriously the best thing ever. (Whitley said "mom these bread sticks are genius") don't let the yeast and kneading scare you! I did it and they worked out great and tasted so so yummy! This recipe comes from my friend Angie, Thanks Ang...you Domestic Goddess you!!!

Bread sticks
Yields 12 bread sticks

1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ½ cups warm water
½ tsp salt
3 cups flour
½ cup butter
garlic salt, Parmesan cheese, and salad supreme

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix together yeast mixture, sugar, salt, and flour. Knead for about 3 minutes. Add flour as needed. Let stand for 10 minutes, or longer. Melt butter on cookie sheet. Cut dough into fourths, then into thirds. Roll & twist. Roll in butter, sprinkle with garlic salt, Parmesan cheese and salad supreme. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes until lightly browned.

I totally used Angie's picture because hers turned out way prettier (is that really a word?)than mine. Seriously This Salad Supreme stuff is a must...it is made by McCormick and comes in a regular shaker bottle. It can be found by all of the spices at the store. I am actually trying it out on my pumpkin seeds for a fun little snack!

No Knead Dinner Rolls

No Knead Dinner Rolls
December 26th, 2008 by Heidi
2 1/2 t yeast
1 1/4 c hot water
1/2 c white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c oil
1 t salt
4 c flour

Stir together, if you want to let it rise overnight then leave it sticky and cover with damp towel and let rise in fridge. If you want it today then add a bit more flour until it’s still very soft but not super sticky. Oil bowl, cover with damp towel and let rise to double. Punch down (do this after the overnight in fridge, if you are going that route) and divide into balls. I put them on a greased cookie sheet because I wanted them flat - could also do in muffin tins or greased 9×13 pan if you want them to rise higher. Let rise, bake at 350 degrees until golden.

SUPER soft, yummy, easy rolls. The dough is very sticky but smooths out after rising. Kit likes them so asked I save this recipe, we found it on-line when I was searching for a quick roll for dinner yesterday.

I’m sure you could use wheat flour instead of white and butter instead of oil, if you so chose.

Thanks again Heidi from Thaden Pierce!
