Fluffy Angel Roll Biscuits

Fluffy Angel Roll Biscuits are light and fluffy, melting deliciously in your mouth.  The yeast gives them fluffiness, and buttermilk keeps them fluffy. FLUFFY YEAST BISCUIT ROLLS These yeast biscuit rolls are soft and airy, like a dinner roll, but the baking powder and baking soda give them the structure  of a sturdy biscuit.   Since yeast was introduced to the baking world in the late 1950s, it is no surprise that they have been popular ever since. Angel biscuits stir many memories of my youth.  I learned to make these biscuits in my Home Economics class as a junior in high school.  Wow!  That will age you thinking about Home Economics.   I cut the shortening into the flour mixture in a large bowl for years with my trusty old wire pastry blender, the first step of most biscuit recipes. However, in the last few years, I have adapted the recipe to use my electric mixer with a dough hook.   Since I started blogging, I have cherished t...

How To Cook A Whole Bone In Ham

A Whole Bone-in Ham recipe is so simple, with no glaze, no clove studding, and no fuss. It uses the low and slow cooking method and a blast of high heat at the end to caramelize the outside. The results are excellent, juicy, tender, and with superb flavor. WHOLE  BONE IN HAM With so many varieties of hams in grocery stores today, it can be daunting to know how to cook one. I share secrets for buying, preparing, and cooking the juiciest ham ever.  A whole bone in ham is the most effortless meat to cook for a holiday meal.  Preparation is equally as easy.   A whole ham is larger than needed for a regular meal but perfect for a large gathering or save and have for those wonderful leftover ham recipes. Most hams you buy are fully cooked, and all you do is score the ham and, if you want, add a simple glaze.  My family prefers the natural juices from the ham to baste the ham instead of a glaze.   By scoring a diamond pattern in the ham into the fat and ...

Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe Is Still The Best!

The Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe is still the best, consisting of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices.  The simplest version has stood the test of time, d-lish! The name of this beloved sandwich gets it honest.   They are as tasty as they are sloppy. The name comes from piling so much meat sauce on a giant hamburger bun, a tiny slider bun, or between two slices of your favorite bread that you cannot help but need a napkin.  Did I say they were messy?

Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs {Granny's Recipe Revisited}

When I was in high school, I remember my mother would make these Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs sometimes on Friday nights just before we went to the football game. This was a quick way to serve chili dogs without having to set out all of the fixings, and clean up is quick.  What I like most about them is when they come out of the oven, the bun is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside along with the hot dog and chili. They are so yummy good! I made these with some of my Blue Ribbon 8-Hour Chili and served them for a quick Sunday lunch. We had some leftover, and I cut them in half and served them as mini chili dogs at our Life Group Meeting Sunday evening. They were a great hit with the children.

Easy Baked Coca Cola Ham

Easy Southern Classic Ham all year around.  My Mother feels that the coco cola pulls some of the salt off and tenderizes the inside of the ham.  It also gives it a wonderful caramelization on the outside. EASY BAKED COUNTRY HAM This is the perfect recipe for any holiday celebrations.  To finish out your meal, serve this with  Southern Spoonbread ,  Mama's Southern Baked Beans ,  Carrot Souffle , and  Simple Broccoli Cauliflower Salad . Easter is such a beautiful time of the year.  Here in East Texas, it has been uncommonly cold the last week or so, and you would never know that sparing is here except for the beautiful blooms. Another Thing Easter brings is the time of the year we have Easy Baked Country Ham aka Coco Cola Ham. Our Easter mornings are so busy with getting to church, taking pictures, and preparing a delicious meal. A baked spiral ham basted with Classic Coke can sure make it so much simpler. Spiral hams cook faster and are presliced,...
