So, I know I usually make these as cresent rolls, but this last Thanksgiving I made them different and much easier. They turned out looking like Texas Roadhouse rolls - square. Here is the recipe and I'll explain how I rolled them out below.<br />
<br />
<br />
2 pkgs. yeast (4 tsp. yeast)<br />
1/2 c. warm water<br />
3/4 c. cooking oil<br />
1 tablespoon salt<br />
1/2 cup sugar<br />
2 cups warm milk<br />
2 eggs<br />
8 (+/-) cups flour<br />
<br />
put oil, salt, and sugar in large mixing bowl. add warm milk. stir until sugar dissolves. add yeast softened in 1/2 cup warm water. stir in beaten eggs. add flour. mix thoroughly till smooth. cover with aluminum foil and store in refrigerator at least 2 hours. dough however will keep several days. when ready to use, sprinkle four on table or counter - large surface. place 1/2 the dough on the floured surface and roll into a 1 inch thick rectangle. Then just cut into squares - cut rows. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake until very light about 15 minutes at 425. brush lightly with butter when they come out.<br />
<br />
This also is good dough for cinnamon rolls and pizza.<br />

3 broccoli crowns (cut up)<br />
2-3 chicken breasts (cut up)<br />
cheddar cheese<br />
French's French Fried Onion Rings (Great Value brand is a cheaper way to go) - also these are found by the canned vegetables - I have searched for them several times.<br />
Cooked Rice<br />
<br />
For the sauce mix the following in a bowl:<br />
2 cans cream of chicken soup<br />
1 c. mayonnaise (don't use salad dressing)<br />
1 T. lemon juice<br />
1 t. curry powder<br />
<br />
Cook chicken as desired (I like to boil mine) and then cut up into bite size pieces and set aside. Cut up broccoli and cook until tender. Place broccoli in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Top with chicken pieces. Pour mixture over the chicken and spread evenly. Cover with slices of cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Remove and top with 1 can of French's French Fried Onion Rings (or 1 large bag of Great Value Onion Rings). Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes until onions are light brown. Serve over cooked rice. Makes about 6 servings.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05417812746787153081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378251189323875707.post-55977336104408042052011-09-23T13:34:00.000-07:002011-09-23T13:34:27.781-07:00Apple Crisp<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KrB6KhIVpm0/TnztQC6NtSI/AAAAAAAAAB0/m8E4LGZ3v00/s1600/Vanilla+Apple+Crisp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KrB6KhIVpm0/TnztQC6NtSI/AAAAAAAAAB0/m8E4LGZ3v00/s320/Vanilla+Apple+Crisp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Cinnamon to taste<br />
<br />
Topping - more the merrier (the below measurements are already doubled):<br />

1 1/2 c. flour<br />
1 1/2 c. brown sugar<br />

Cream the following together:<br />
1 c. crisco<br />
1/2 c. sugar<br />
1 c. brown sugar<br />
1 t. vanilla<br />
2 eggs<br />
<br />
Add:<br />
2 1/2 c. flour<br />
1 t. salt<br />
1 t. soda<br />
2 c. chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes. You want them very light so they stay soft. And, thanks to Jake, a trick to also keep them soft: when you take them out of the oven, drop the tray of cookies on your counter from a short distance to get the air out. I post this recipe because it was the one Mom gave me once and they've been a hit whenever I've made them since.<br />
<br />
You can also make yummy Pazookies out of these:<br />

1/2 c. butter<br />
1/4 c. shortning<br />

2 eggs<br />
1 t. vanilla<br />
2 1/2 c. flour<br />
1 t. baking powder<br />
1 t. salt<br />
<br />
Cream butter, shortning, sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients. Chill 1 hour (I don't personally do this). Roll out 1/2 inch thick dough and cut. The thickness is the key to the soft sugar cookie - plus the baking time. Bake at 400 for maybe 6-8 minutes or until you can see a little brown on the bottom of the cookie.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05417812746787153081noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378251189323875707.post-72434832070816844202011-09-23T13:14:00.000-07:002011-09-23T13:14:52.620-07:00Wassail<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TeebQQfFDs4/Tnzoia0fRuI/AAAAAAAAABk/ne0QU487NQI/s1600/wassail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TeebQQfFDs4/Tnzoia0fRuI/AAAAAAAAABk/ne0QU487NQI/s320/wassail.jpg" width="221" /></a></div><br />

3 c. water<br />
6 chicken bulion cubes<br />
1 large onion diced<br />
6 cups broccoli diced (about 3 heads)<br />
1 cube butter<br />
5 T. flour<br />
2 c. milk<br />
8 oz. cream cheese<br />
<br />
This is the BEST broccoli soup I have found. This is also my 3rd broccoli recipe post - maybe we should have a dinner of all broccoli! :)<br />
<br />
Boil water, bulion, onion and broccoli. In a separate bowl with a mixer, combine softened butter, softened cream cheese, flour and milk. Add mixture to broccoli mixture and bring to a boil. It's ready to serve. We've had this in bread bowls and it's delicious!Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05417812746787153081noreply@blogger.com0
