Biscuits


My sister-in-law Candace recently shared with me a recipe for some amazing biscuits. Like so amazing, you should stop whatever you are doing and make them right now! 

The recipe is from Paula Dean. You can find the Original HERE.

Candace calls them "Sister Wife Biscuits" because Paula is her wanna-be sister wife. haha

“Sister Wife Biscuits” (Cream Biscuits)

2 cups self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and cream until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with additional flour. Fold the dough in 1/2 and knead 5 to 7 times, adding just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Gently roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch biscuit cutter coated with flour, cut dough into biscuits.* Place on baking sheet coated with cooking spray, leaving at least 1-inch between each biscuit. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.

*TIP
When rolling out your dough, roll it thin, like 1/4-inch. Then fold it in half and roll again lightly. Cut and bake. When your biscuits are done, they pull apart perfectly with no cutting or crumbling.

Baked Spaghetti

One benefit of pinterest in this house is that it inspires me to be a better wife.
I love spaghetti but I wanted something a little more than my usual. 
When I found this recipe, I knew it was for me!
The photo is how mine turned out.


Here is the recipe I used (altered to fit my taste. HERE is the original)

Baked Parmesan Spaghetti
serves 4-6
1/2 pound spaghetti
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 pounds ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep water to boil for pasta. I cooked a spaghetti with a 10-minute cooking time for 7 minutes since it was going in the oven.
Heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Add onions with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and saute until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and stir for another minute. Add ground beef to skillet along with the salt and pepper. Cook and drain.
Stir in one cup of pasta sauce and the chopped fresh basil. Mix to combine, then add in pasta and toss. Spray a 9×13 baking dish (or baking dish of your choice) with non-stick spray. Add half of the spaghetti mixture to the dish, then top with 1/2 cup pasta sauce and half of each cheese. Add the remaining spaghetti and top with the rest of the sauce and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Chocolate Festival

A few nights ago we went with some friends to a chocolate festival.
It was deliciously fun. I only wish there were more interesting things to try.
Other than that, the chocolate was super yummy and the company was really fun!

Seattle, Red Mill, and Molly Moons.

Get ready for photo overload! 
We took a day trip into the city for the reason I love most. Food!
We had such nice weather while we were in Seattle. Hardly any rain at all. It was wonderful!
Our first stop was Red Mill Burgers
We first learned about this place on Man v. Food and it did not disappoint. It was delicious! 
Our second stop was for ice cream at Molly Moons
They have some of the best homemade ice cream I have ever had! I would go back again and again. 
After that, we had plans to stop at Pike Place Market (which we have been to before) but it was so busy and we were so exhausted, we went home. 
Not a bad day at all.

Sluys' Bakery

We loved Paulsbo.
It has a small town charm but it's still close to the amenities of the big city. 
There is this amazing bakery called Sluys' Bakery.
The doughnuts and cinnamon rolls are to die for!

ChocMo

Our second day in Washington, we went to this awesome place in Paulsbo called ChocMo.
ChocMo is a small business started by a guy named Peter when he was still in high school.
It has developed into quite the place. They have the best drinking chocolate ever!

Peter and I. We're like BFF's now.
