Showing off Your Kitchenaid

This is so COOL! Found this today and I just had to post it...

Hubby got me a Kitchenaid for a Westpac Survival Gift when he came home a few years back and I l-o-v-e, love it! It sits a top my fridge under its tan cover with brown trim. The cover alone is worth it being hidden away. Can you imagine if this bad boy was sitting out? My Kitchenaid IS this gun metal grey (like I said, it was a gift from a MAN), but the description says it would look great on any of their colors. I am SOOO getting this :)


~Description from Amazon~


With this SHARK PLANE on your mixer, it gets tons of attention like your mixer should! Notice the nice color bleed, the pin stripping, and smell of envy it creates!



Features
~Inspired by the Flying Tigers, this is a Navy Shark plane from 1942 with exhaust, bullet holes, squadron stripes, pilot ID 154, and 3 Zero planes downed.
~The kit is a total of 30 different decal pieces (15 pieces mirrored left and right). Overall length on the sheet is 9 x 8.25 inches

Yummy Banana Bread



I had been taking bananas that were too ripe to eat in the freezer (peeled) until I had the time & enough bananas to make some banana bread.

Made this last night! -->http://www.recipezaar.com/17083<-- Check out the ingredients... there is a half cup of sour cream! I think it MAKES the bread better than others I've tried.

OMG it is so good! I had a bite last night when it was warm from the oven, but I have to say it was better this morn with a cup of coffee after it sat on the counter wraped in foil over night.

If you make it know that it WILL get very dark, almost burnt, on the outside before the toothpick test comes clean. But dont worry because the next day after it sits wraped up in its tinfoil hug over night, you wont even be able to tell.

Thrown Together Quiche


So I felt like eggs. Not really eggs, eggs. Not scrambled, or sunny side down, or "breakfast-ey" eggs. But I did want some eggs. So I thought "A Quiche!" Here's how I made it...

1 Marie Calendars Deep Dish Pie Crust from the freezer.
1 Hamburger from the other night, chopped
1 Bag of Birdseye Steam Fresh Broccoli (cooked according to directions)
1 half white onion, chopped
2 cheese sticks, (mozzarella), shredded
Handful of Mexican style shredded cheese
6 eggs
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350

In pie crust I added the chopped onion, hamburger, the chopped off florets from the broccoli, & the cheeses. Then wisked up the eggs, milk & some black pepper and cosher salt. Slowly poured the egg/milk over the stuff in the pie crust. Then baked for about an hour.

Mmmm.

Sausage Gravy & Biscuits

Made this the other day for a house full of in-laws :) Nothing but Rave reviews all the way around. Of course David & Frankie loved it, Dwight J. our ever so finicky eater passed.

Served it with my Baking Powder Biscuits, Low Acid OJ, and srambled eggs that I would prefer not to discuss {those that were there will agree}.

Only change I made was to omit the chopped onion.

Fantastic! Sausage Gravy on Recipezaar

Picky Toddler Bread (For Your Kitchenaid)

This is my recipe that I posted on Recipezaar.


Super Yummy & Good For You Bread!

Even my picky boy eats this. The spelt flour not only adds a unique nutty flavor but becuase of its high water solubility, its vital nutrients are quickly absorbed into the body. The Vital Wheat Gluten adds an extra punch of Vitamin C and protien {not to mention a prettier loaf}. As a reminder-- Wheat breads need extra rising time, so make sure your bread doubles in size before punching it down and before sticking it in the oven. Prep time includes rise time.

24 servings ~2 loaves
3 hours 2½ hours prep

4 cups unbleached bread flour
1 cup spelt flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
8 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup raw sugar
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons butter flavor shortening

  1. In a large bowl mix all the flours.
  2. Add all the flour EXCEPT 2 cups to your kitchenaid mixer.
  3. Add Salt, Yeast & Vital Wheat Gluten to mixer.
  4. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 30 seconds.
  5. In a saucepan or microwave safe bowl add Milk, Shortening, & Sugar. Heat to 120 F to 130°F.
  6. On Speed 2, slowly add warm liquid to flour mixture, mixing for about 1 minute.
  7. Still on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl, about 3 minutes.
  8. Knead on Speed 2 for 10-15 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
  9. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
    Cover; let rise in warm place, until doubled.
  10. Punch dough down. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf.
  11. Place each loaf into a greased 8 1/2x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch bread pan.
    Cover; let rise in warm place till doubled, about an hour.
  12. Brush tops with milk right before you stick them in the oven to.
  13. Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes.
  14. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
