A truly awesome family favorite, this is a classic that everybody loves!
1 large egg 1 cup buttermilk (or milk+1 tsp vinegar, stir and let sit for 5 min) salt & pepper & garlic powder to taste 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup bread crumbs (I prefer Panko style) 2 medium sized beef cutlets, hand tenderized (just pound with a mallet for a while) vegetable oil for frying Preheat oil in large pan or deep fryer. Stir together egg, buttermilk, salt, pepper and garlic powder. In seperate bowl, blend together flour and bread crumbs. I like to season the flour mixture with salt, pepper and garlic as well. Batter steaks by first dipping in flour, then egg, then flour again, coating well. Place steaks into hot oil and fry until it turns golden brown. If doing in a pan, don't have the heat too high or else the batter will burn before the steaks get done in the middle! Remove and drain well. Serve with gravy on top! For gravy: 1/2 cup reserved drippings 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 4 cups milk salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste I usually drain most of the oil out of the pan, leaving behind about 1/2 cup oil and all the little crunchies from frying the steaks. Gradually add the flour to the hot oil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Slowly add the milk in small amounts, stirring fast and well to prevent clumping. The secret to smooth gravy is don't stop stirring! Keep stirring until it's nice and smooth and well mixed. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. If gravy gets too thick, stir in some more milk in small amounts until it's the desired thickness. These are so delicious, and taste just like Chili's boneless wings!
1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 tsp paprika 1 egg 1 cup milk 2 chicken breast fillets 4-6 cups vegetable oil 1/4 cups Frank's Louisiana sauce (or Crystal) 1 Tbsp butter or margarine Pre-heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan. Combine flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne and paprika in small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Slice chicken breasts into 6 pieces. Dip each chicken piece into first the egg mixture, then the flour mixture, coating well. Repeat to double dip each piece. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes. Drop each piece of chicken into the oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until each piece is browned. As chicken fires, combine the hot sauce and butter in a small bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until butter is melted, then stir well. When the chicken pieces are done frying, remove and drain on paper towels. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then put another large bowl upside down on top of the other bowl. Gently shake until each piece is thoroughly coated. Pour the chicken onto your serving plate and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing! Here is a homey breakfast style dish that is also delicious for dinner too!
3 cups frozen shredded hash browns 3/4 cups shredded cheese (any cheese- cheddar- Monterrey jack, be creative!) 1 cup diced cooked ham 1/4 cups sliced green onions (or jalapenos if you like it spicy!) 4 beaten eggs 1-1/2 cups milk 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 2 quart square baking dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the shredded hash browns in the bottom of dish. Sprinkle with the cheese, ham and green onions. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the potato mixture without mixing. Bake, uncovered for about 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes to set before serving! This ones a true winner for birthdays! It's actually pretty easy to make, but looks like you put a lot of effort into it!
3/4 cup butter, softened 2 eggs, at room temperature 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1-1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1-1/2 cups sugar 2 tsp vanilla 1-1/4 cups buttermilk (or regular milk+1 tsp vinegar, stir and let sit for 5 minutes) 2/3 cup chocolate flavored syrup Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 10" tube pan. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat thoroughly. Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to butter mixture and mix well. Reserve two cups of the batter and pour the rest into the prepared pan. Add the chocolate syrup to the remaining two cups of batter and blend well. Pour chocolate batter on top of vanilla batter in pan. DO NOT MIX!! Bake for about 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan and then remove from pan and continue cooling. Drizzle cake with chocolate icing. Chocolate Icing: 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips 2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp light corn syrup 1/4 tsp vanilla Combine all in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Immediately pour over the cake and enjoy! I absolutely love carrot cake, and this recipe is absolutely delicious! I can just roll over and die for the cream cheese frosting too! My husband doesn't normally like carrot cake, but he loved this one!
Cake: 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp salt 2 cups sugar 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil 4 eggs 3 cups grated carrots 1 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans, but you can use whatever) 1/2 cup raisins (optional, but it's way better with them!) Preheat oven to 350. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. In separate bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, carrots, nuts and raisins and mix well. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix well. Pour into 13x9 pan and bake for about an hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely. For frosting: 1 package of cream cheese (roughly 250 grams, doesn't have to be exact) 1/4 cup butter, softened about 2 cups confectioner's sugar Cream together the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar gradually, until you have a nice fairly thick icing consistency. Ice the cooled cake, and be prepared to go back for seconds! This is my favorite from-scratch waffle recipe, I absolutely love the texture! They're very simple to make and just melt in your mouth!
1-1/2 cups flour 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 tsp sugar 2 cups milk 2 eggs, separated 1/2 cup melted butter (can substitute oil or margarine) First, get that waffle iron heating up! In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Individually stir in milk, egg yolks and melted butter. In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites into the batter gently. Pour mixture onto waffle iron and spread until about 1" from the edge. Cook just like any normal waffle or until it's golden brown.

I was given the unique opportunity to review these power-packed energy bars by Brisk Bars. I received four bars (picture shows three, I ate one!) . It came with a neat brochure and small page with instructions of the best way to eat them. They're all natural, made from plants , guarana and maca , not from sugar or chemicals. As I've been trying to go green lately, I thought that was wonderful!
Each bar is stronger than one cup of espresso! Wow! They also have only 100 calories, 5g of protein and only 4g of sugar. They seem to only come in one flavor - 70% dark chocolate and coconut that claims to awaken your taste buds and keep you satisfied. The instructions suggest if you are highly sensitive to caffeine or never tried guarana before, to only eat 1/2 a bar to start. You should feel results within a few minutes to an hour and can last from 2-6 hours. Wow! I was pretty impressed just by reading the brochure!
I just got back home from a long car trip and was pretty exhausted, so I thought it'd be the perfect time to try one out. I'm a coffee drinker, but I decided to just start with eating half of one to start off with. They smell scrumptious, you can really smell the coconut on them! The texture was nice, smooth and chewy, not grainy like some other bars I've tried. At first, it tasted delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, after a minute or two, there was a bitter aftertaste that reminded me of chewing a pill. It's definitely not a snickers!
Within 10 minutes, I started to feel a little more clear headed and better after my long trip. After 30 minutes, I was starting to feel pretty alright! It lasted a few hours, and I never crashed with a harsh letdown like other bars I've tried. All in all, I was pretty impressed with these! The taste could use a little improving, needs some more sweetness, but the effects were definitely worth it! I think these powerful little bars might become one of my favorite pick-me-ups! If you'd like to get some for yourself, you can find them here: http://briskbars.com They're also available on amazon too. #NewtoBB

I was given the unique opportunity to review these cute little travel bottles by Pot and Pan. They came in an adorable little box that would be great to gift them in! They're very soft, yet made out of a material that seems super durable. I got a three pack of red, blue and turquoise green that are very gender neutral.
On the neck of each bottle, you can swivel the display to show either soap, shamp , cond, sun, lotion or blank so that you can easily know what you have in them! They're a little hard to turn, so I suggest setting them while they're empty.
You want to be careful when you turn the settings, or you'll pop the seal and then it just drips water out the neck. It's a quick fix though!! Just roll the edges back over the edge and it seals up nice and tight again!
I filled it with some liquid soap, and it stood up to the drip test very well, without a single drop escaping! It was easy to squeeze out and stopped the second I needed it to! I was very impressed with these cute little bottles, and I'd love to take these on my next camping trip! And did I say how much I loved the material they're made out of?

I had the opportunity to try these lovable little bottles out recently! These durable little squeeze bottles came in a very nice little box that would be perfect for gifting! They're very soft, yet they're made of a very strong, resilient material. They have a suction cup on the back of each one to hand on a shower wall, mirror or wherever else you might desire them. I got a three pack with blue, orange and purple, which are perfect gender neutral colors for anybody. They're nice and small, travel-sized , but still hold plenty in them with a 3oz capacity.

The suction cups actually held up pretty well, even my six year old son had an easy time putting them on the shower wall!
They were very easy to fill, we put shampoo in the blue one. When I did the drip test, not a single drop escaped, yet it was nice and easy to squeeze out the desired amount we needed.
Overall, I instantly fell in love with these cute little bottles, especially with the soft texture that they have! I can't wait to take these on our next camping trip! You should pick some up too! You can find them here and get a good discount: http://www.leadzonian.com/lead/gnzlz/ponderosa-bottles #ponderosaoutdoors |
