Cinnamon Burst Bread

This recipe is a favorite and is based on the yummy bread made by Great Harvest.   Its good for eating, toasting, making into french toast and is a super bread if you love bread pudding.

This recipe makes four loaves. It can be halved to make two, if needed.

3 T yeast
1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
3-3/4 c warm water
4-1/2 t salt
4-5 T vegetable oil
2-1/2 generous cups (use more if you like) cinnamon baking chips
11-12 c all-purpose flour (or can use a bread flour or a mix of bread, all-purpose or white whole wheat).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1/4 c warm water and 1 T sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes. To a large mixing bowl, add remaining water, eggs, and oil. Combine. Add the yeast mixutre to the water, eggs and oil. To this add salt, 4 cups of flour. Mix until it resembles a good cake batter.   Add cinnamon chips and 7 more cups of flour, taking care to add them slowly avoiding dough to be too stiff. Knead by hand or in mixer for 10 minutes.   Add any additional flour, if needed.

Grease a large bowl. Add dough to bowl, cover with wet, warm towel and let rise in warm location for up to 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.

Punch dough down and shape into 4 loaves.   Place loaves into greased bread pans, cover with wet warm towel and allow to rise one hour or until double.

Place pans in preheated 375 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and brush the tops of the loaves with butter.

Chess Squares, Nieman Marcus Bars, Paula Deen and Gooey Butter Cake....The real origin

Kevin & Amanda's Chess Squares So, I saw this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago and thought, hmmm. I need to try this! With my daughter's open heart surgery, starting my final year of school and then a few major work projects, the blog got lost in the shuffle for a bit. Last week however, I started on a cooking binge and the first thing on the clip board to try were these chess squares. I read the blog that posted the recipe and realized they were reminiscent to her of another recipe. I thought they sounded (and looked) like something I used to have at my grandmas. So the sleuth in me kicked in, and a hunting I went, trying to find the progression on the variations of this recipe and ultimately, the origins. Nieman Marcus Buttermilk Pie Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake Searching for "Chess Squares" took me to Nieman Marcus Bars, which led me to the Nieman Marcus Website and their Butter Cake . I then found the Paula Deen "Gooey Bu

Chocolate Chip Reeses or Rollos Brownie thingys?

I have no idea what to call these, but oh my goodness are they easy and good. This recipe comes to you via Pinterest. I tried to trace it all the way back to its originator, but failed. It just kept going. So, I do not claim these as mine - although I have tweaked them and will try something new this weekend. As the picture indicates, these were done with premade cookie dough, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and box brownie mix. Thats the "easy" no frill recipe. Here it is: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray the insides of a square all edges brownie pan with Pam spray. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of premade cookie dough and press into the bottom of each square. Top the cookie dough with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup placed upside down. Then fill up the well with your favorite prepared brownie mix up to 3/4 full. Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove and cool slightly. Here are some tips: You can use cupcake/muffin tins (either small o

Stuffed Cube Steak

The other day, I had a hankering for cube steak, but did not want Swiss Steak or Chicken Fried Steak - my usual go to's. I wanted to do something else with cube steak and remembered I had bookmarked a recipe from Pinterest that involved cube steak, bacon and goat cheese. I tried it, we liked it, and it is now in the regular dinner rotation. I also discovered that this recipe can be done on the grill and is quite tasty either broiled or grilled. You dont need a potato or rice dish with it. A really nice salad and some crusty bread with some homemade lemonade really makes this a great summer meal. It is also very quick. Just what we all want out of our summer dishes! Stuffed Cube Steak Serves 4 4 Cube steaks salt and pepper to taste 4 oz cream cheese (or goat cheese) softened - very soft. 2 T coconut oil 1 small sweet onion (Vidalia or Maui) finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 2 c baby spinach - stems removed and coarsely chopped 6-8 slices sun dried to
