Make Ahead Cinnamon Rolls

Posted on November 18, 2012 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

Tweet These are a little time consuming because of letting the dough rise but they are so worth it. The great thing is you can put all the work in the night before, set them in the fridge and bake them in the morning. Fresh, warm and gooey cinnamon rolls. I was in the mood for baking and was cooking…

Easy Cream Cheese Frosting

Tweet When hubby put in his request for the cinnamon rolls he also said with fancy frosting. I had to ask him to please elaborate. He meant cream cheese frosting. I lucked and had some whipped cream cheese I’d bought on sale in the fridge. Made me look like I’d planned it. Super easy recipe that would work on the…

Fall Harvest Ideas part 3: Zucchini Bread

Posted on October 17, 2012 by Quick Chef | 0 Comments

TweetI grew up eating the most amazing zucchini bread. It’s my great-grandma’s recipe. I can remember kids at school wrinkling up their noses when they heard what it was. No biggy, I didn’t want to share anyway. lol Zucchini makes the best bread and is super moist. You can freeze this vegetable and use it all winter long in breads…

Healthier Banana Bread

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Quick Chef | 5 Comments

TweetJust because we’re going a little healthier doesn’t mean the flavor or texture is going to be ruined. I’ve updated my recipe to go half whole wheat flour (although it’s also good with all whole wheat flour), swapped out the oil for apple sauce and decreased the flour and sugar a little bit. This recipe makes 2 loaves because it…

TweetRecipes built out of necessity, you just never know how they are going to turn out. I’m actually typing this post while they are baking so this post could easily have ended up a wasted effort. Good thing they turned out. lol I was going to make normal almond poppy seed muffins because I want to use up these poppy…

Golden Mushroom Beef Stroganoff

TweetI enjoy beef stroganoff and there are so many variations of it. My children do not care of the more traditional kind with the sour cream. Which is fine because this recipe is so darn easy and no worry about the sour cream separating when it’s served. I love to serve it with a side of peas and some homemade…

Crusty French Bread

TweetBack in the 90′s (yes, that’s the 1900′s) my MIL bought me quite a few Taste of Home recipe books. Each year for Christmas she would give me the annual recipes book. I’ve gotten rid of a lot of cookbooks over the years but for sentimental reasons I kept these. I’m so glad I did. Recently I have gotten so…
