If you're in a rush to make a quick batch of muffins, then this recipe is just what you'll need! Use the vanilla ice cream as a substitute for milk, sugar, and eggs. The self rising flour has the baking soda, and yeast you'll need. It is cheaper to use the actual ingredients, but if you want to introduce your child to baking try out this easy peasy two ingredient recipe. Ingredients: 2 cups vanilla ice cream (melted) 2 cups self rising flour Melt ice cream to room temperature. Mix with self rising flour. Scoop into a muffin tin. Bake at 375 °F for 8 to 12 minutes. Cool off, serve, and enjoy!

Kettle corn is a great mixture of sweet and savory popcorn. My first experience with kettle corn was at Stade Farm in Northern Illinois AND IT WAS FABULOUS. I've always been a savory popcorn fan, but when I had that fresh batch of kettle corn on that cool October night I was hooked! Just simply add some sugar and salt and you have a great recipe that will make the whole family crave for more! Ingredients: 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup popcorn kernels 1/4 cup sugar Salt to taste Warm up oil in a large pan. Put 3 kernels in the pan to test the heat. Once the 3 kernels pop, then put in the rest. Immediately add sugar and salt. Shake the pan constantly so you don't burn the sugar. When popping slows to about 2 to 3 seconds per pop, then stop. Pour into a container and cool for a minute or two. Serve and enjoy! From what I understand this coffee recipe has it's origins in the Nordic regions (Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) some time before the 1940's. It has since lost popularity, but is still used by Swedish people in the Midwest area of America(specifically Minnesota). If you think that Norwegian Egg Coffee sounds a bit strange, just give it a try. The egg and shell bind with the coffee grounds while boiling so that you have less "sludge" in your cup. It also gives your coffee a less bitter flavor so you can use any type of coffee grounds you like and still get a great tasting cup-o-joe. You can also call this Swedish Egg Coffee (Svensk äggkaffe) although I've heard many Swedish people have never heard of this way of making coffee. I guess it could generally be called Scandinavian Egg Coffee so as to not offend anyone in particular. Ingredients: 1/3 cup coffee grounds 1 egg (shell and all) 2 1/2 cups water Mix coffee grounds and entire egg until you get a paste. Boil water. Add coffee-egg paste to boiling water. Let it boil on medium heat for about 10 minutes. Let coffee sit for a minute or 2 to let the ground/egg settle. Pour coffee into a decanter, french press, or anything that can pour liquid. Serve and enjoy! Growing up I really enjoyed the Jiffy blueberry muffin recipe. It was quick and easy and had a nostalgic taste. However, there is nothing like biting into a homemade muffin with real, juicy blueberries in it. Plus, it's a great way to use up some blueberries that may be getting a little soft or are slightly tart. I was pleasantly surprised with how simple this recipe for making blueberry muffins from scratch really was. You probably have all the ingredients already on hand, and your overall time spent is less than 30 minutes! Your family or guests will no doubt be impressed with your amazing baking skills and will enjoy the simple goodness of a warm homemade treat! *Also...I happened to refrigerate some of the batter overnight, and the muffins I made the next day turned out just as tasty! Ingredients: 1 3/4 cup flour 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg 3/4 cup milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3/4 cup blueberries Mix all dry ingredients into a container and make a well for the wet ingredients. Mix egg and wet ingredients into a separate container, then pour into well. Add blueberries, but do not over mix. Spray muffin tin with oil and add about 2/3 cup of the mixture into each space. Bake at 400 °F for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool off 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! I would argue that the Chicago Style hot dog cannot be beat in terms of flavor. Every time I take a bite into one of these beauties I get transported back to my college days at UIC. During lunch a few buddies and I would go to the food truck parked outside, and I'd order a hot dog...actually it was 2 for $1.00 AND it included fries. I think it's the mix of peppers and celery salt that make the difference. Also the flavor of Vienna Beef hot dogs (or Hebrew National for that matter) is amazing. Try out this amazing piece of Chicago and you'll see what I'm talking about. Ingredients: Vienna Beef Hot Dog Steamed sesame seed buns Yellow mustard Chopped white onion Sweet relish Tomato slices (or wedges) Sport peppers Kosher pickle slice Celery salt Steam both your hot dog and buns (you can boil your hot dog as well). Start with mustard. Place onions on one side of the dog lengthwise. Spread relish onto the other side. Add a couple slices of tomato. Put a few sport peppers on the other side of the wedges. Add a nice dill pickle slice. Top off with some celery salt. Our neighborhood's annual chili cookoff is coming soon, but I won't be able to enter this year to defend my title. Instead I thought I would kickoff the cookoff with a shout out to the traditional chili recipe that most of America has grown to love. Ingredients: 1.5 pounds ground beef 1 onion chopped 1 green pepper chopped 2 to 3 cloves chopped garlic 2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon pepper 2 cans kidney beans 2 cans diced tomatoes Brown ground beef. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat for 2 minutes, then drain water. Add seasonings and heat for 2 more minutes. Put everything into a slow cooker and mix. Cook high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours. Serve and top with sour cream and cheddar cheese. Enjoy! |
