Almost-Famous Breadtsticks

-
 
These breadsticks are perfect with soups like Chili or the Italian Meatball Soup (previous post). They are chewy and flavorful and perfect for dipping. I don't make them very often but when I do they disappear quickly.
 
Ingredients:
Courtesy of The Food Network
1 package (approx. 1¼ TBSP.)
active dry yeast
¼ cup warm water
 
4¼ cups all purpose flour, more for dusting
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1&1/3 cups water
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon fine salt
Oregano
Garlic Powder
 
Topping:
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
very fine garlic salt
 
Combine the yeast and ¼ cup of warm water and set aside to soak for about 5 minutes. Pour into a mixer bowl and add the the flour, butter, sugar, fine, salt, and the rest of the water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, about 3-5 minutes.
 
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and soft, about 3 minutes. Roll into a 2 foot long log and cut into 16 - 1½ inch pieces. Knead slightly and shape into a 7 inch breadsticks. Place on a parchment paper line baking sheet 2 inches apart. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
 
Preheat oven to 400°. Melt butter for topping and brush half of it over breadsticks. Bake 15 minutes or till golden. Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with fine garlic salt.
 
 
 
I'm pleased to tell you the sun has returned to Pa. ☺I should conquer the flowerbeds I suppose but my sweet husband has invited me to ride along on propane deliveries today so I shall ignore the work and the other things that need doing and go along and enjoy his company till lunch time and then go watch Son #2 play soccer this afternoon. Because of that, supper will be simple. Flatbread Pizza Rollups. They are quick, simple, and delicious! and the kids love them.☺
 
♥Have a wonderful day!♥

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Black Raspberry Vanilla Milkshake

PERFECT FOR A  WARM SUMMER DAY! I know another Black Raspberry recipe. I promise to start eating and thinking of other food/things soon but indulge me just a bit longer. I had some black raspberry juice in the fridge and in all my warm, humid berry pickings I would think of cool refreshing things to make with them and decided I need one of these. I was not disappointed! It's delicious!! 3-4 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract 2-3 lg. serving tablespoons Seedless Raspberry Juice Milk, just enough to make it blendable Mash the berries and press through a sieve. Discard seeds. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.                                                                     aaahhh, so yummy!! Be Blessed!
