this is the most delicious thing I've eaten this week! ( in a while actually, so good)
So take a thick break, I used whole wheat bolo buns, cut in half. :)
1 egg for every 3-4 pieces of bread
Vanilla, milk
whisk it all together
If the bread is fresh, just leave it in for a few seconds. if the bread is stale ( I prefer it stale) you can leave it in a bit longer, so that it soaks all the way through.
Put it in a pan heated to medium heat, spray it with baking spray, and cook each side.
dredge it through sugar on a plate, rub the sugar on if needed, and then move it to another plate, and keep going til you have enough french toast to feed everyone! after that, maple syrup, and bam! delicious ( non diabetic friendly) Donut french toast.
Lee approved with several moans and statements to it's deliciousness. :)

Flounder Po Boy
For a Flounder Po Boy, you will need the following
2 Hoagie rolls ( Homemade is doable, not needed)
2 pieces of flounder
mayonnaise
pickles
lemon juice
salt and pepper
garlic minced ( 1 clove)
tomato
lettuce
Olive Oil
so for this to work, you will want to heat up your pan over medium high heat, and add a little bit of olive oil, if you have a grill pan great, I don't so a regular non stick skillet will do!
while the pan is heating up, go ahead and brush the olive oil on both sides of the fish a goodly amound, since flounder isn't all that fatty. after you brush the olive oil on, you will want to salt and pepper both sides as well, let it sit for a bit while the pan heats up.
once it's heated up ( that takes maybe three minutes, so not long) go ahead and set the fish into the pan, about 2-3 minutes on each side, and it's ready to be removed from the pan. Now it's time for the tartar sauce!
1.5 cups of mayonnaise
pickles ( you will need to cut them up yourself it's just easier to get the right consistency that way)
1 table spoon of lemon juice
salt and pepper
minced garlic
Mix all of these together, and VOILA! you have a delicious Tartar sauce!
Now! Take those Hoagies, cut them in half, and toast them
spread on the tartar sauce, and add the fish, then add the lettuce and tomatoes, and you will be good to go!

Pan fried lemon pepper Steak and Sides
Pan Fried Lemon pepper Steak and sides
Take some sirloin about a half in or more thick, and put in a glass bowl with a good amount of lemon pepper seasoning, and just rub it well, put in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours, it's just there to crust it up nicely, the flavor will be more in the meat itself, than the dry rub :)
After it's set for about two hours, you will want to make some yummy sides! So lets go with delicious homemade potato salad! You will need Mayonnaise or greek yogurt ( I'm preferring yogurt these days), thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, lemon juice, cayenne, and vinegar ( red wine is ideal, not required) ( if you like Spice use the cayenne, if not then disregard)
Cut your potatoes to the size you like, I'd say that if you are using regular brown skinned potatoes, then you can cut them up into six pieces each. Boil them for approximately 15 minutes, then take them out and leave them to rest in the colander for a bit, wipe out the pot, and get ready to make the dressing!
into a small bowl, you will want to add a cup and a half of yogurt, the juice of one lemon, 2 teaspoons of pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne, 3 teaspoons thyme ( and you can just eyeball it, thyme and rosemary are BEAUTIFUl additions to any potato salad) 1 teaspoon Rosemary, garlic powder, and fresh garlic to taste, and 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. mix it all together, and grab the potatoes, My suggestion is to mix the poatoes and the dressing in the pot you cooked the potatoes in! :) After you fold the dressing into the potatoes, you will move it to a bowl that can be refrigerated. ( Pretty bowls are nice, not needed lol)
Now you want to heat up your pan to medium high, and add some canola oil, once the oil is heated to the correct temperature ( you can flick some water at it to find out, if it goes nuts, it's ready) and gently place the sirloin into the oil, 2 minutes on each side will give you a good medium rare, if you want to keep it medium rare, cut it immediately, if not, it will continue to cook on the plate. :)
now you can move on to vegetables! ( Potatoes are not counted, they are just starch)
Take some strips of bell pepper, and fresh greenbeans ( find them cheap at the grocery store produce aisle :D) and put them into a pot of already boiling water, you will cook them for 3.5 minutes! use a timer, it's important.
now you will just plate everything, and get some nice wine or cold sweet tea and you are ready to eat a delicious meal. It's another simple no brainer dinner that will wow your family!

Homemade sirloin fajitas
THIS is a hugely delicious recipe, that made Lee so happy ( Warning it was SUPER DUPER spicy)
first you are going to make your own seasoning.
That requires the following
2 tablespoons cayenne
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 table spoon pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
( THis is Taco seasoning, and WAAAAAy more than you need, but it's nice ot have that extra for the next time you want to make tacos :D
Fajita Recipe
Sirlon ( half an inch thick is probably as thin as you want to go)
red bell peppers
jalapenos
canned black beans
corn ( frozen, fresh, canned no matter)
sour cream
cheese
take the sirloin and cut it into strips for 2 people you will want about 1.5 pounds ( I prefer to cut before I cook, because when you use the dry rub on it, it covers more area, and adds more flavor)
put the strips into a glass bowl ( Glass doesn't' absorb anything so I use it often ) and, then pour enough of the seasoning over it to make a decent rub, how much depends on how much meat you use :D
I used gloves and made sure to rub the seasoning all over the sirloin, and I put it in the fridge for about 19 hours, then I added tequila for the final 5 hours of marination.
after it was done I sprayed a skillet with non stick and let it heat up ( medium heat is all you need)
then I added the entire contents of the bowl to the skillet. Tequila and marniade and meat, all of it, and then I just let it go, occasionally going back and stirring and flipping, the tequila will slowly burn off, and the juices of the meat will seep out to keep the pan nice and lubricated. After the meat is about 90% complete, add in your sliced bell peppers and sliced jalapenos, sliced is important, so that you can easily wrap everything into a tortilla.
While that is cooking, you will want to make your beans and corn, and slice up your cheese :) Just put them in their own seperate pots, while they just sit and warm up, you can clean up any spills and messes. ( takes about 15 minutes to fully cook)
optional addition? add a teaspoon or two of your taco seasoning to each pot, and stir it in to make sure that the flavor really continues through everything in the fajita!
it's an easy, no brainer meal that your family will truly enjoy!
if you prefer to have it less spicy, use different peppers, :) Yellow and Green would be way less spicy than red and jalapeno!

Margarita Chicken, Lime and Basil rice
Recipe for Margarita Chicken that I am making tonight!
4 boneless chicken breasts ( skin optional, remove for a healthier dish)
1/2 a bottle of basil lime vinaigrette
2 cups margarita mix of your choice
extra fresh or dry basil ( preference, if you use fresh, just use less)
a bowl and saran wrap
pour the lime basil vinaigrette into a large bowl, ( wear gloves for safety that's what I do) and add

a bowl and saran wrap
pour the lime basil vinaigrette into a large bowl, ( wear gloves for safety that's what I do) and add
in the chicken, make sure that you get all the chicken coated in it,
and then add your 2 cups of margarita mix, cover bowl in saran wrap and
allow to marinate for 4 hours
after 3 hours and 50 minutes, preheat your oven to 425, and move the chicken to a sprayed baking dish, then pour all of those lovely marinade juiced over to just cover the chicken, pop it into the oven for about 27 minutes ( give or take, use a thermometer and your knowledge to make sure it's fully cooked before you take it out, if you don't have a thermometer, just make a small cut to the center and check for pinkness)
after it is fully cooked allow it to set for about 15 minutes, in the time that this is cooking, you will want to make some lime basil rise to go with it! it's easy, just add the juice of one lime to the rice along with the appropriate amount of water ( I use a rice cooker, and it has measurements on the inside, so it's easy for me to add the lime juice to the rice first then fill the rest of the way with water, go ahead and sprinkle some dry or fresh basil into the rice before cooking, so that all of the rice is infused with those delicious flavors.
the vegetable you use it completely up to you, I am using Cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots for our dinner, it's going to be gorgeous! I like to use freshly made biscuits on the side of meals like this, instead of fresh bread, because I think it it easier to manage in the time you have. :)
If you have any suggestions, I'm open! I'd love to see yalls recipes too!

Gift Basket
People always wonder what to get for someone crafty, and here is what I would love to get, maybe it will inspire someone to get something awesome for someone they love. :)
A gift basket, I would love to get a gift basket filled with treasures of my trade.
A couple of balls of nice yarn ( yes take the time to ball it, makes the presentation so much nicer, and if you hate balling yarn, you can get a nice yarn winder for them as well, and use it to ball their yarn before you give it to them :P). In their favorite tones. I would love jewel tones, deeps purples, blues, reds and greens.
a couple of charm packs, I would LOVE some charm packs and jelly rolls, in whatever design you want, just make sure that you get 2-3 of them ( all different of course) to help fill out the back of your basket. The charm packs would be the fanned throne.
a couple of cute embroidery kits, such as one for an apron with a whine bottle on it, and maybe you could add in some extra embroidery floss so that they can make a cute message on it, such as " But why is all the wine gone". ( We crafters seem to loooove our wine)
a Gift Certificate to Joanns, or lanternmoon, so that we can get some new needles, or something we have been wanting for a while.
and last but not least, Crafter snacks! A bottle of yummy Moscato, and chocolate, and maybe somthing salty as well. These things would make a beautiful gift basket for your crafter. I have named a lot of things, because, generally crafters are like me,a nd like a variety of crafts. If they like to scrap book but do not like to quilt, then get them packs of scrap book paper instead of charm packs, and pens and stamps instead of the other things. It's really very easy to purchase for a crafty person, as long as you have paid attention long enough to know what their particular craft is. :)
anyway, I must be off to work magic on other christmas gifts for my people!

Pioneer Pizza Dough ( baking mix)
So, I love pizza, lately I've been making nearly everything from scratch, ( except when it comes to anything to do with Pioneer baking mix, I LOVE that stuff!) So here is my mostly from scratch recipe on a Home made Pizza!
3 cups pioneer baking mix
1.5 cups milk or water ( whichever you prefer is fine)
extra flour seperate)
non stick spray
1 big mixing bowl
1 seperate bowl to hold your baking mix'
rolling pin( or large smooth drinking glass)
knife
any sort of pan you want to cook your pizza in
pour 1 cup of the mix into the large bowl, and add the liquid, mix to your hearts content. Add the rest of the baking mix into the large bowl 1/2 a cup at a time. Once it stops being super sticky, it's time to get your hands dirty! take off your rings please, and dip your hands into the baking mix, then tip the rest into the large bowl and hand fold the mix in just like you are making a loaf of bread.
you will knead it until it's the right consistency for you, then you will flour the counter, and plop the lovely dryish mix onto it. Take the dough and separate it into 3 equal portions.
set two portions off the the side, you won't need them for a bit
take the portion you are working with right now, and roll it about in the flour, so that it's lightly coated, this is the keep it from sticking, and that may need to be done a few times before it's over.
roll the dough out to the shape and size of the dish you will be using to cook the pizza in, I've done it in deep pans, shallow pans, glass pie dishes, and even muffin tins, though that requires more cutting than stated above.
now remember when rolling out dough, you need to turn it and flip it over from time to time to keep it from sticking to the counter, it's quite easy once you get the hang of it. *heart*
once it's the right shape, size, and thickness, you will spray the pans, and lay the dough gently into them, :)
Preheat the oven to about 425, and then get to prepping the toppings!
I used homemade tomato sauce, I can put the recipe I use later in this blog. :)
Chop all of your veggies, and shred your cheese ( cheaper to buy it in blocks and shred it yourself, we have a beautiful food processor that we use to shred the cheese.
add just a bit of sauce at a time and spread it around the pie, it should be a nice thin layer, too much and it will make a rather soggy pizza ( I've done that a time or two)
after you add the sauce, you can top it any way you choose, My boyfriend likes jalepnos, and cheese, and black olives, and bell peppers, and roasted garlic, and meat. :)
I personally just prefer black olives and cheese, and my sister Kyrie likes Bell peppers and cheese and SOMETIMES pepperoni. :)
Here are the pictures!
Home made Tomato sauce recipe:
4 pounds sad, unloved tomatoes (some swear by romas, I’ve had success with all varieties)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 to 3 small cloves of garlic
lots and lots of fresh basil and rosemary tied up and wrappe din cheesecloth to prevent ickying up the sauce with soggy leaves)
black olives ( As many as you want, so delicious)
masa or flour 1/4th of a cup
ok, so you want to crush all your tomatoes, some people prefer to peel them I like the skin on there, makes the sauce chunkier and more delicious. Either way, put them in the pot and HULK SMASH!
add 2 cups of water bring to a roiling boil ( keep in mind that you can always add MORE water, you can't really take it away)
then after 20ish minutes ladle some into a bowl and add that flour we were talking about and whisk it til it all blends in, no joke that flour does not like to mix, it's obnoxious.
pour it back into the pot and stir a round a bit.
you are going to be stirring this for hours, every 20-30 minutes go stir the sauce, scrape up all the things from the bottom and don't worry, it honestly just adds to the flavor, the reason for scraping it every 20 minutes, is that oyu don't want a huge thick mass of caramalized tomato, that's just annoying.
add as much pepper and basila nd rosemary and garlic as you want . It's delicious! use some right away, freeze the rest!
oh also remember that this takes HOURS I simmered mine for 6 hours. totally worth it.
