Root Beer Float Cake I

by Rebecca May 19, 2020
written by Rebecca

When I first made this root beer float cake, I was so happy because it turned out great! My husband and kids loved it so much. The cake is super moist and the glaze is perfect! Normally, I doubled the glaze for a more root beery flavor which is terrific! And I think this is one of the easiest recipes for a cake that I’ve known. I made this for my son’s birthday last month. And it was a hit! I topped each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delightful! And everyone loved it! My friends even asked me for the recipe. I’m pretty sure I’ll be making this again soon.

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer

¼ cup of vegetable oil

3 eggs

½ cup of confectioners’ sugar

3 tablespoons of root beer

Step 4: Pour the batter into the greased and floured pan.

Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake 35-40 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake, when it comes out clean, it’s done.

by Rebecca May 19, 2020
written by Rebecca

This beauty makes everything alright. It’s creamy, smooth on the inside and crispy and crunchy on the outside.

You are welcome to twist it up by adding additional ingredients like this classic pecan pie bread pudding dessert that’s baked to perfection!

Ingredients

16 -ounce loaf of day-old French bread

2 and ½ c. milk

1 c. half & half see notes You can substitute whole milk or heavy cream

4 large eggs lightly beaten

1 c. granulated sugar

1 tbsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. salt

1/2 c. butter softened

1 and ½ c. packed brown sugar

1 c. pecan chopped

HOW TO MAKE PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING

Step 1: Prepare the oven by preheating it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Cut the bread in cubes. Place them in a large bowl.

Step 3: Beat the eggs, milk, half-and-half, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Then, pour the mixture over the cubed bread. Let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes.

Step 4: With a fork, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and pecans in another bowl. Mix until you have a wet sand consistency.

Step 5: In a greased 8 x 8-inch pan, pour just half of the bread mixture.

Step 6: Then, top with half of the pecan mixture.

Step 11: You can make 16 equal slices because this is a thick bread pudding. Or you can make the slice larger if desired.

Crockpot Ham, Green Beans & Potatoes

by Rebecca May 19, 2020
written by Rebecca

As a mom, I always make sure to cook for my family. Even if I’m busy working, I see to it that I prepare healthy meals for them. And this recipe hits the top 10 spots. It’s a quick and easy meal to prepare. And the ingredients are very basic, you might even have them already; fresh beans, ham, and potatoes. Put them all into a crockpot, leave it for 6 hours, and before you know it dinner is ready. And if you are a busy mom like me, that 6 hours of waiting for the ham, green beans, and potatoes to cook, is all you need to work on some chores inside the house, and to relax, or work on projects or task if you are working from home. I love this recipe because it’s a complete meal by itself. My family enjoys this a lot, especially my kids. The ham gives flavor to the beans and potatoes which is super yum! This is a family-friendly meal that’s nutritious, filling, and delicious. You can, by the way, use some leftover ham too if any. And did I mention that this recipe is great for post-holiday to enjoy leftover ham with a hearty twist?

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds fresh green beans

2 pounds ham

4 baking potatoes

1 large onion, optional

3 cups of water

Salt & pepper, to taste

How to make Crockpot Ham, Green Beans & Potatoes

Step 1: Dice the green beans, potatoes, and ham.

Step 2: Place them into the crockpot and add 3 cups of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It is optional but you can use Steak Spice.

Step 3: Cook on low for 6 hours. Serve and enjoy!

Tip: I would suggest sauteing the ingredients in a saute pan once done cooking in the crockpot for 6 hours. In that way, you will get a crispier dish.

Balsamic Chicken Marinade

by Rebecca May 18, 2020
written by Rebecca

This is my favorite Balsamic Chicken Marinade, made with the highest taste of olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, of course. Not only for summer, it is an important recipe, but it’s a whole year long! Whenever I buy chicken breast in bulk, I freeze it for a quick dinner right in the Marinade. In a freezer-friendly bag or container, simply place the chicken in the marinade to ensure that the chicken is covered evenly.  Lay the name and date of use of your container (freeze for up to three months) and place it in the freezer.  Place on a soup plate to defrost and thaw overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 tbsp of brown sugar (optional to offset the acidity from the vinegar)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 (or more to taste) clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Salt + pepper (to taste)

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast

Directions:

For Making the Marinade:

In a bowl and whisk, place all marinade ingredients very well.

For Marinating the Chicken:

In a ziplock bag, place the chicken or a small glass platter. Pour marinade on top, make sure every piece of chicken is covered everywhere. Close the ziplock well and cool until overnight for 15 minutes.

For Cooking the Chicken:

Remove the marinade from the chicken, remove the excess. Cook your favorite chicken.

When you used Grill:

Put the chicken on a hot grill and grill on either side for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is finished.

When you used Skillet:

In a pot, heat oil. Add chicken and cook on either side for approximately minutes or until chicken is cooked.

When you used Oven:

In a baking dish put the chicken and bake for 20-30 minutes at 410 ° F or until the chicken is cooked.

Tip:

To get the best flavor, I suggest marinating for at least 30 minutes. The more chicken you leave it the more pronounced the flavor it will be, but you don’t marinate it overnight.

Use any chicken cut – especially great here are the boneless thighs or wings

Before marinating, you can cut the chicken into strips, into pieces or pound it

Leftover chicken is kept in a 3-day fridge airtight container and is added to easy lunches salads!

For the best texture and flavor use about 2 pounds of chicken with the marinade.

If you want to avoid the plastic in a single application, you can marinate a chicken in a glass or a lid in stainless steel containers. Ensure the chicken is marinated! You can have to double the marinade depending on the size of your container.

For reasons of food safety, you should always discard and not reuse used marinade.

It is recommended that you do not re-freeze it when you are using defrosted chicken.

Extra Crispy Southern Fried Chicken

by Rebecca May 18, 2020
written by Rebecca

Southern Fried Chicken – a typical, crunchy and crusty southern chicken, juicy, and savory on the outside and inside. Infused with spices and savors, and soaked in buttermilk for flavor. Excellent addition to your collection of chicken recipes. When you think of food from the south, corn, gumbo, grain, and, of course, the King of all Kings — fried chicken — is a recipe you always have in mind. Well, though half of my mind says serve some vegetables in the table, I can’t seem to get away with it easily especially when we’re talking of chicken. Since then, it has been in the family ‘s diet. And as I get older, I am looking forward to gathering different chicken fried or cooked recipes.

Ingredients:

3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces

2 eggs

1 cup milk

salt and pepper, to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp seasoned salt (optional)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups canola or peanut oil

1/2 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

Directions:

In cold water, rinse the pieces of chicken and dab the chicken with a paper towel to dry.

Beat the eggs into a shallow bowl and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the milk. In the milk mixture, soak the chicken for 5 to 10 minutes.

In the large zip-top plastic bag, combine the flour with the seasoned salt. Add some of the chicken pieces to the flour, shake them to cover completely. Shake the excess and reserve the chicken on a rack to dry.

In the deep saucepan or deep fryer pour the oil and heat until 350 ° F. Add the thighs and legs of the chicken and cook for a few minutes.

written by Rebecca

It tastes like everybody’s favorite Mexican rice restaurant dish. Except in 30 minutes or less, it is transformed into a full, hearty meal. This rice pot was always a staple in my house because this is one of the things we can all agree about. I used to put it together and baked it in the oven. I could only turn that into a pottery dish until I realized that I can make this using the stove. We enjoy this also with an additional salsa side and a dollop of sour cream.

1 lb lean ground beef

1 cup yellow onion, diced

10.5 oz condensed chicken broth

2 cups of water

In the pan, add instant rice.

Stir until all the rice is covered in the liquid. Stir gently.

Let the dish simmer until the rice absorbs all the liquid, stirring occasionally.

Add to the bread the salsa, chili sauce, canned corn, green chilies, and taco seasoning.

Make sure you did not drain the canned corn and canned green chilies before you add it to the pan, Stir it well
