some

sugary yummy goodness?

my good friend mr. matt was kind enough to share this 

with us. 

thank you matt!

now

lets get started

the recipe:

2 cups of flour

1/4 cup of sugar

1 pkg. rapid rise yeast (very important to use rapid rise)

1 egg

1/2 cup of milk

1/2 a stick of hard butter (or 1/4 cup)

the process:

heat milk and margarine together in a microwavable container. in your mixer bowl add sugar, 3/4 of the flour and packet of yeast. pour in hot liquids and beat (musical interlude here) add the egg and remaining flour and beat. (musical interlude here)

grease a large bowl and let rise for one hour.

preheat oven to 350 degrees.

once the dough has risen break off into a dozen or more pieces.

roll pieces of dough out thin

coat with vegetable oil

sprinkle on the magic of cinnamon sugar

fold the dough "S" style

place in a lightly greased deep dish

repeat until all the dough is coated - sugared - and folded. it should look like this when you are done.

oh yeah!!! 

bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

find a good movie to watch - grab a coffee or tea and hunker down with dudes, steve and a big blanket.

i suggest a long movie...this is a big dish!!!

ENJOY!!

Chicken AND Dumplings

are you ready?

for the most amazing 

easy

CROCKPOT

of scrumtasticness?

pay attention 

this may be confusing.

CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS IN THE CROCK:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breast
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cans cream of chicken soup
• bisquick
• water

Directions:

• place chicken breast in the crock [haha that sounds funny]
• dice up your medium onion and place on top of the chicken
• pour both cans of soup on top
• cover with water [i sprinkled a little flour to thicken up the gravy]

i cooked mine on low heat when i left for work this sat for about 8.5 hours and was cooked perfect. the directions called to cook on high heat for 4 to 5 hours.

it also called for pre-made biscuit dough. i used bisquick and followed the drop biscuit recipe on the box.

• 2 cups of bisquick
• 2/3 cup of milk

mix together and drop by the spoon on top of the gravy. i also let this sit for almost an hour while doing other stuff around the house.

boom ya done! i literally wanted to lick the crock pot but it was to hot. this was good for two people with leftovers for lunch. if your cooking for a bigger crowd you can easily double up on the ingredients.

let me know if you try it and if you loved it as much as geoff, dudes and steve did!
