Fly Off The Plate Rolls

3c. Hot Tap Water

1T. Salt

1/4c. Oil or Real Butter

1/2 c. Sugar

2T. Instant Yeast

2c. Flour

Mix water, salt, oil/butter, and sugar; then add the yeast. Mix. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, until you have a nice sticky dough ( about 3 more cups of flour). Make sure you mix each cup of flour well before you add the next. Pour onto a floured cupboard. Make into balls. Let rise on a greased cookie sheet ( fills an 11 x 17 inch pa perfectly). These only need to rise once. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes!

These are so yummy and true to their name they really do fly off the pan! They are so easy and pretty fool proof! I don't make bread really well and these turned out perfectly!

Spinach Brownies

1 (10 ounce) package spinach, rinsed and chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Place spinach in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook until spinach is limp, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Stir in eggs, milk and butter. Mix in spinach, onion and mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm!

These are really good! When I made these I used fresh spinach and pepper jack and Cheddar cheese! I think that the pepper jack made it! Me and my mom tried it the next day without the pepper jack and it just wasn't the same!

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar

How to make it

---

Mix all ingredients together to form dough
Roll dough out and cut out as desired, its fun to make these into holiday shapes or quick and easy just to cut into circles
Bake at 350 degrees 8-10 minutes

I was really surprised with these cookies, I had expected them to have a different taste or texture to them but they were really good! They had a little after taste but it really wasn't bad! I added 1 teaspoon of Nutmeg to the batter and I think it helped with the flavors. When I made it I immediately tasted the batter, I really wouldn't recommend doing that, the texture is really gritty but when it cooks, the texture evens out and the grit is gone! Also refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes so you can roll out and cut easier! The dough is really soft! They are a little lighter than a normal sugar cookie and I really like that!

Put chicken in a 9 x 13 pan. Mix the last 7 ingredients to make the sauce. pour over chicken. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Stir chicken about 2 times while cooking. serve with rice.

I have found when I make this I end up using a box or 2 of corn starch and a few more eggs! Also, this recipe take at least an hour to do all the prep work, ie cutting up the chicken and frying it, not including letting it sit for the 30 minuets! It is well worth the work it takes! It is soo yummy!
