Recipes

I decided to post some of my recipes that I often get requests for, and I always forget to give them to people, so I figured it would just be easier to post them so everyone could see them.

Orange Jell-O Salad

1 Large Cook and Serve Lemon Pudding
1 Large Orange Jell-O
1 Small instant Lemon Pudding
1 Cup Milk
1/2 pint whipping cream
1 can Mandarin Oranges

Make cook and serve Lemon pudding as directed. Make Orange Jell-O as directed (Do not let Jello set at this point, mix it with the lemon pudding first) Mix orange jello and Lemon pudding together. Let sit 3 hours or until firm. Make instant Lemon pudding with the 1 cup milk. Whip up the cream, and then mix with the instant lemon pudding. Put that mixture on top of the Orange Jello/Lemon pudding mixture. THen top with Mandarin Oranges and eat up!


Oatmeal Cookies

1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup Brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 -2 1/2 cups Flour
2 cups quick oats

Cream shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Add soda, flour & salt. Mix. Then add Oats, mix well. Bake at 325 degrees for 9-10 minutes until the bottoms, or lower sides are just starting to brown. (they will be a little undercooked in the middle) Let sit on pan for a few minutes and enjoy.


The Best Rolls Ever! Seriously.

2 Cups Warm Water
2/3 Cup White Sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons yeast

1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 Cup Veg. Oil
6 Cups Flour

Mix the sugar and water, then add the Yeast and allow to proof until foamy (usually about 5 minutes) Add remaining ingredients, but add the flour one cup at a time. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until dough is smooth. (If you have a dough hook on your mixer, just use that and let it knead for about 5 minutes in the machine..much easier this way) Cover dough with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down and form into loaves, rolls, breadsticks or whatever. Let rise another 30 minutes.
Cook at 350 for about 24-30 min depending on what you are making with the dough.
This recipe makes enough for two loaves. I usually only make half, and make 9 rolls with it.


Waffles

2 Cups Flour
1/3 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup oil
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Cups Milk
2 Eggs

Mix all together except the egg whites. Whip the eggs whites and then fold them in.

hmmmm yummy! I am excited to try these out. Mostly the cookies and jell-o. I'm not confident enough yet in the cooking department to be making any kind of bread. but it will come soon, I think. I am excited to be cooking more. I like cooking if it turns out well and un-burnt. :o)
