by Rebecca August 13, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 50 mins | Total time: 1 hr 5 mins | Serving: 36 slices

This pumpkin bread is a delicious treat that you can whip up easily using just a few simple ingredients. It is super moist, delicious, and smells amazing! You can serve this bread, plain, or you can top it off with some raisins, nuts, or even chocolate chips.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 c. brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1⁄2 c. vegetable oil

1 (15 oz.) pumpkin puree

1 tsp baking soda

1 3⁄4 c. plain flour

½ tsp baking powder

⅓ c. water

¼ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp salt

Topping:

3 tbsp milk

1⁄4 c. brown sugar

1⁄4 c. pecans, chopped

1 tbsp butter

How to make Moist Pumpkin Bread

Step 1: Beat the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Then, whisk in the sugar, oil, water, and pumpkin. Place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in another bowl. Mix well until combined.

Step 2: To the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Into a greased and floured loaf pan, pour the batter. Place in a 325 degrees F preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes.

Step 3: To make the topping, whisk the butter, brown sugar, and milk in a small saucepan. Let the mixture boil for no more than 2 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 4: Remove the loaf from the oven when done. Drizzle the topping on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Then, into the topping, lightly press the pecans.

Step 5: Wrap the pumpkin bread and serve the next day.

Tips (moist pumpkin bread):

Measure all the ingredients before cooking.

I recommend using high-quality ingredients when baking.

To improve the quality of the pumpkin bread, use organic whole eggs, full-fat butter, and pure vanilla extract.

Make sure to preheat the oven before baking.

Gradually drizzle oil, butter, and vanilla into the batter while the mixer is running.

Adjust the baking time accordingly.

The Best Christmas Baklava

by Rebecca August 12, 2022
written by Rebecca

My mom loves baklava. I learned to enjoy baklava because of her. It is savory and delicious with a flaky and crisp texture. Baklava is an easy, quick, and fun dessert great for every occasion! If you have not tried baklava before, it is time to give this a go! My mom especially loves to serve this on Christmas. But this is amazing all year round!

Ingredients

1-1/2 c. butter, melted

1/2 lb chopped walnuts

1/2 lb chopped pecans

1 lb package of Phyllo dough

2-3 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2-1/2 c. honey

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon Vanilla

How to make The Best Christmas Baklava

Step 1: In a bowl, place the nuts and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2: Grease a baking dish with butter. Lay two phyllo sheets onto the bottom and top with melted butter. On top, scatter around 2.3 tbsp nuts. Add another layer of butter, nuts, and phyllo. Ensure you have 6 layers of phyllo on top. Brush the top with any remaining butter.

Step 3: Cut through every single layer using a knife to make about 3 to 4 slices along the length. Then, make diagonal cutting. Make sure that you have nice diamond shapes.

Step 4: Place in a preheated 350 degrees oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Step 5: In the meantime, heat the honey in a pan. When almost boiling, add the lemon zest and vanilla.

Step 6: Remove the baklava out of the oven when done and pour the honey mixture over. Allow the sauce to cover the entire baklava. Let it cool before slicing. Serve right away. Enjoy!

Note:

I suggest serving the baklava shortly before serving before it gets hard and mushy, especially if you are using lots of sauce. You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them at room temperature.

All my favorites in one single dish from cheesy potatoes and bacon. This Mississippi Mud potato has tons of flavors. This is one of the easiest dishes you’ll make. This is seriously the best dish you can make even on the busiest days!

Potatoes are a staple at home. We love mashed or loaded potatoes, and they have been my go-to, especially on busy days. The newest on my list is this Mississippi Mud Potatoes. Everything with bacon is a must! The kids went crazy over these potatoes, and the bacon just makes everything right.

2 c. cheddar cheese, grated

1 c. mayonnaise

6-7 c. potatoes, peeled and diced

1/2 c. green onions, thinly sliced

1 tsp garlic salt

How to make Mississippi Mud Potatoes

4-Ingredients Nougat Bars

by Rebecca August 12, 2022
written by Rebecca

These nougat bars are an incredibly easy dessert that is super fun to make. All you need are for ingredients (butter, bags of white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and some chopped red and green gumdrops). My daughter is obsessed with these nougat bars. She also always helps me to make them. Whenever we make them, it is expected that she gets the bigger portion! So I always make sure to whip up a big batch so we have enough for everyone.

These nougat bars are colorful, sweet treats. They are an excellent dessert option. Beware because these nougat bars are fairly small, you’ll never realize you have eaten a lot!

For this recipe, you may want to use sugar-free gumdrops. Sugar-free gumdrops are healthier and they do not stick together as much. Using this kind of gumdrops makes it a whole lot easier to put these nougat bars together when done. Plus, it is easier to handle.

Salisbury Steak Garlic Mash Potatoes Mushroom & Onion Gravy – You’ll Love it!

by Rebecca August 12, 2022
written by Rebecca

This Salisbury Steak Garlic Mash Potatoes Mushroom & Onion Gravy is one of the exceptional meals I’ve made! It’s mouthwatering, easy and quick to make, and economical. You can even make the patties in advance and simply keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Or freeze uncooked for up to 2 months.

Ingredients

Salisbury Steaks:

1 egg

⅓ c. breadcrumbs

1 small yellow onion – grated with the juice it produces

1 pound lean ground beef (like 90/10 ground sirloin)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Mushroom Gravy:

8 ounces sliced mushrooms (preferably Baby Bella)

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

kosher salt to taste

black pepper to taste

2 c. beef broth

How to make Salisbury Steak Garlic Mash Potatoes Mushroom & Onion Gravy

Salisbury Steak Patties:

Step 1: Place the grated onion (with its juices), the bread crumbs, the egg, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until blended. Then, add the lean ground beef and mix well using your hands until everything is fully combined.

Step 2: To make four patties, evenly divide the beef mixture. Shape each patty into a 3/4-inch thick oval.

Step 3: On high, heat a large skillet. Once searing hot, drizzle 1 tbsp olive to the skillet and swirl the pan to coat. Add the patties and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until brown. To a plate, transfer the seared patties and set them aside.

Mushroom Gravy:

Step 4: To the skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes or until golden. Over the mushrooms, sprinkle the flour. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and continue to cook for another minute.

Step 5: To the skillet, pour in the broth while stirring constantly. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 6: Return the partially cooked steak to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the gravy has thickened and the internal temperature of the steak reaches 160 degrees F.

Step 7: Over mashed potatoes, serve the steak, and drizzle with mushroom gravy. Enjoy!

Crockpot Chicken and Dressing Casserole

by Rebecca August 12, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 6 hrs | Resting time: 15 mins | Total Time: 6 hrs 25 mins | Servings: 6

Serve this delicious home-style crockpot chicken and dressing casserole straight from the slow cooker. For an ultimate comfort food banquet, pair this up with mashed potatoes and green beans.

Ingredients

4 tbsp butter

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, diced

1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder

1 tsp lemon pepper

1 rib celery, diced

1 10-ounces can of cream of chicken soup

1 c. low sodium chicken broth

1 10-ounces can cream of celery soup

1 0.8-ounces dry chicken gravy mix

1 tsp poultry seasoning

½ tsp salt

How to make Crockpot Chicken and Dressing Casserole

Step 1: Using cooking spray, grease the inside of a 6-quart oval slow cooker. On the bottom of the slow cooker, arrange the chicken in a single layer. Then, season with poultry seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic, and salt.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add the onion and celery. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender and starting to brown. To taste, season with black pepper.

Step 3: Place the soups, chicken broth, and gravy mix in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix well until blended. Into the crockpot, evenly pour 3/4 of the mixture over the chicken.

Step 4: To the remaining soup in a bowl, add the stuffing/dressing mix and cooked veggies. Mix well, then spread this on top. Using doubled paper towels, cover the opening. Firmly cover with a lid.

Step 5: Set to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low on 6 to 7 hours. Before serving, let the casserole sit for about 15 minutes, uncovered. If desired, fluff the dressing using a fork. Enjoy!

Notes:

Cover the opening with a double paper towel to prevent the condensation from dripping back into the dish while cooking, then make sure to lock the lid in place.

For this recipe, you can use two boxes of cornbread dressing mix. A single box results in a moister dressing, and using two packages will stretch the serving and result in a less gravy-like sauce.
