Buttermilk Biscuits with Updated Recipe

I remember learning to make these when I was really young. My first experience baking them was in a wood stove! While I’m thankful for modern conveniences nothing compares to the taste of those first biscuits I made.

A lot of people shy away from making biscuits from scratch but they are really quite simple. The unbaked biscuits also freeze well for later use! Continue reading “Buttermilk Biscuits with Updated Recipe”

Beer Bread

I love how easy this recipe is and the crust is so good. I have to be careful or I could eat all of the crust of the bread by myself! This is a recipe that I haven’t made in a while but when I went for a spell without going to the grocery store I had to use up what I found in the kitchen to make up a couple of quick meals. I made up a batch of Boston Baked Beans and wanted some fresh bread to go with it.

I had seen a bottle of beer in the fridge and had no idea where it came from or who it belonged too. After a week or so I just guessed it must’ve been something forgotten by a guest. I dug through some old recipes and found this recipe. It smelled so good when it was baking and it tasted even better.

You could play around with the ingredients to make it different flavors and such. I’d say that different beers would probably give it different flavors too but I have not experimented with that. Continue reading “Beer Bread”

Zucchini Bread

This is another recipe from my Home Ec. class. I love making this as it reminds me of all the fun we had in that class. Your kids could help with the measuring and mixing on this one too!

This is also a good way to use up an overabundance of zucchini during the gardening season. This could be made and frozen, also. Continue reading “Zucchini Bread”

Emergency Rolls

These are a super easy, super quick fix for those days that get oh-so-busy! Days like today when I forgot to get my dough started for the dinner rolls I had planned to make.

These are also great when you want some fresh, hot bread to go with your meal but you don’t have the time or energy to make yeast rolls. These are so easy that my oldest sons had the recipe memorized when they were teenagers and they would make these and eat them with jelly. Continue reading “Emergency Rolls”

Cinnamon Dippers

This is yet another, sweeter, version of our basic breadstick recipe. This makes a super simple dessert or snack that the kids can help prepare. Top with a vanilla glaze to make it extra special. Continue reading “Cinnamon Dippers”
