Sour cream coffee cake

Image
This is a recipe I got from my grandmother years ago that she used to make all the time. I make it every Christmas now.  I love it because you can decide how sweet you want it by altering the ingredients slightly the way you want it. Ingredients Cake 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of margarine or butter 2 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup of sour cream 2 cups of flour 1/4 tsp baking powder 1tsp salt Topping 1/3 cup of brown sugar 3 Tbsp cinnamon 3 Tbsp chopped walnuts Caramel drizzle (ice cream topping works well - squeeze bottle is best) (any other ingredients you think might be nice here; Skor chunks, coconut, different nuts, whatever you like works) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the sugar and the margarine until they're all mixed. Mix in the eggs and fold in sour cream. Add vanilla. In another bowl mix all dry ingredients until well combined. Fold into the rest of the mixture. For the topping mix the crushed walnuts, brown sugar, and cin...

Bull$&!t cupcakes

Image
So these cupcakes are just regular cupcakes except you add baileys lol. I used panama jacks instead because it's cheaper but you can do whatever. Just buy two boxes of cake mix and make it as directed but put slightly less water and add some baileys instead. For the icing I made it home made with icing sugar but you can just add some baileys to regular icing. Here is a link to the recipe for the baileys icing and brownies if you want to make them: http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Bailey_s-Brownies-Recipezaar Top with some sprinkles once they're iced and they'll be delicious!

Mushroom soup pork and roasted vegetables

Sorry no pictures this time!!! I seasoned the pork two different ways; one I used greek seasoning and the other I used my favorite BBQ chicken. Chop up some onion slices to cook with the pork just to add flavour. Place the onion on top of the pork. Put one can of cream of mushroom soup in a bowl and combine with 1/4 can of water. Pour over the top of the pork and make sure to cover each piece on both sides. Bake in the oven for an hour at 350 degrees. For the vegetables mix some green beans, bell peppers, onion and garlic in a dish, adding a little bit of olive oil to keep the moisture. Sprinkle vegetables with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and celery salt, making sure to mix it together in order to coat everything evenly. Bake vegetables for 40-50 minutes at 350, stirring occasionally so those on top do not burn. You can eat just like this or cook some rice or pasta to pair with it. The vegetables were soooo good though!!!

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Shepards pie

Image
So this is basically just regular Shepards pie with a bit of enhanced flavour. You will need: 6 large potatoes 2 pounds of lean ground beef 2 cans of mixed, frozen or fresh veggies (peas, corn, carrots, etc) 3 large cloves of garlic, chopped finely BBQ seasoning Celery salt 1/4 cup of onion, finely chopped Caesar dressing (Renee's) Ranch Butter Milk Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them in quarters for quick cooking. Boil them until soft. While the potatoes are boiling, cook the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a large skillet until browned. Add beef to large baking dish and mix with some Caesar dressing (be generous in coating the meat) and add the veggies and mix it together. Drain the water out of the pot of potatoes once they are cooked, add 1 table spoon of butter, 1/8 cup of ranch and a splash of milk and mash together. If they are not creamy enough, add some more ranch. Add mashed potatoes on top of the meat and veggies and smooth out....

BBQ chicken legs and roasted potatoes and peppers

Image
For the chicken I use my home made BBQ sauce with coke instead of beer and added onions to it. Just thaw out the chicken, coat in BBQ sauce and bake in the oven. For the potatoes you'll need: five potatoes, half of a green pepper, 1/4 of red and orange pepper and some onion. Chop all of it up into bite sized pieces, sprinkle with BBQ chicken seasoning, celery salt, lemon pepper and add chopped garlic. Bake the potatoes until soft. So yummy!!!
