Honey Wheat Rolls

Recipe from Recipezaar #52515

SERVES 12

1 1/4 cups warm milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press start. When dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into rolls by pinching and pulling the dough into balls, with smooth side facing up. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Alternative: These can be stored after shaping in the refrigerator until ready for rise. Simply remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature, which is usually all the additional rising time they need. They should be approximately double the size after shaping. Bake as usual.

Chicken Stew

We LOVED this recipe, It was so yummy, It tasted a lot like potato soup when added goodies, I served it with homemade french bread that I made and it was delicious! The only thing I did differently on this recipe is I softened all the veggies in olive oil not just the onions then let it simmer for 3o minutes too, It was so yummy, everyone loved it. Ashley asked me to please make this a repeat recipe!

Banana Muffin Recipe

I've never made homemade Banana Muffins before. I think I've made bread once and it didn't get cooked all the way through or something. But that's been a while ago. We had 3 banana's about to go bad so I decided to make use of them before I had to throw them away. I looked up some recipes on my trusty recipezaar and this is the one I tried, It's easy and SOO yummy. I did use pecan's though because I didn't have walnuts on hand :) I'll be keeping this recipe around for sure!

Au Gratin Beef Bake

This one is SOOOO good, When I read the recipe I was unsure of how the tomato soup would fit in there but it was delicious!! I do have one recommendation, Stir the casserole about half way through a few of my potato pieces that weren't covered were a bit krispy but not many, This one is a keeper and will definately make over and over, Even my picky eater loved it!

Hillbilly Goulash

This recipe I got from a yahoo recipe group I was a part of for awhile called FriendlyRecipeSwap. I did add ONE thing to this recipe to make it taste a little more like my Mom's famous goulash, Worcestershire sauce, Probably about a tablespoon or less. This was cheap and yummy, It would have been perfectly wonderful even without the cheddar cheese and baking in the oven :)

Hillbilly Goulash

From: FriendlyRecipeSwap group

1 pound ground beef

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 cups dry macaroni

10 oz can condensed tomato soup

14 to 16 oz can tomatoes (I bought diced)

6 oz can tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon each salt and garlic powder

1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)

less than 1 TBsp. worcestershire sauce (I added this)

Start the ground beef and onion to frying in a large skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a fork.

Meanwhile start the macaroni to cooking too. Use a fairly large pot (4 quart or bigger) to boil the macaroni, because you will use it to stir everything up in later. When the macaroni is tender, drain it and put it back into the big pot.

When the hamburger is cooked clean through, drain off the fat and add the hamburger to the drained macaroni in the big pot.

Next, open up all three cans and dump their contents into pot. Add the salt and garlic powder.

Use a big spoon to stir everything up nicely.

Reheat and serve sprinkled with the cheese if you are starving. Or if you're not that hungry, then turn the goulash into a well oiled 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top. This may now be baked, or refrigerated or frozen.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes if the mixture is still hot. If it is cold from the fridge, cook it for about 35minutes. If it is frozen, cook at 350 degrees for at least an hour, with the top covered with tin foil. Serves 6.
