Blender Pancakes

Origin: This recipe is a favorite of my husband's family.  It came from his grandmother, years before she died.

Notice: It will be loud and if you make this recipe as much as we do, you'll be needing a new blender sometime soon.

1 cup milk
1 cup wheat
1/2 cup milk (redundant, but I'll explain later)
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/2-1 teaspoon of salt (if using red wheat, use 1/2 tsp, if using white wheat, use 1 tsp)
1 Tablespoon baking powder

Blend milk and wheat for a few minutes until the mixture is relatively thick.  Add the additional milk and then the remaining ingredients.  Fry on a skillet about 350 F.

Pumpkin Soup

Origin: My husband created this recipe from another one he found online, but he changed so many things that it eventually became an entirely different recipe and therefore, I can post it.

1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 Tablespoon of Italian seasonings
1 medium onion -diced really small (my husband uses the blender)
3 Tablespoon of all purpose flour (or cornstarch)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cubes of chicken bullion
4 cups of water
1 28 oz can cooked pumpkin puree
1 can coconut milk
1 Tablespoon sugar

Add olive oil, Italian seasonings and onions and cook for a few minutes. Add flour and cayenne pepper and cook 1 minute.  Wisk in water and add the bullion cubes.  Wisk in spoonful pumpkin and simmer 10 minutes, then add coconut milk.

Sunday Rolls

Origin: This recipe, like most of mine comes from my amazing mother-in-law.  When my husband and I were first married, he struggled with my cooking and I couldn't figure out why until I experienced hers.

This one is wonderful to make on Sunday because you make it the night before, let it refrigerate overnight and then make them up to rise while you are at church. 

1 cup water or milk
1/2 cup margarine or butter, boil on the stove with the water

3 eggs, beat for 3 minutes and then add the water (I usually use my kitchenaid to beat the eggs and then and add the water to them)

1 heaping tablespoon yeast
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 1/2-5 cup flour (If I want to make it healthy, I will sometimes add 50% whole-grain flour)

Mix all together until dough is still sticky.  Put in the fridge overnight

4 hours before serving, roll out in to a big circle and cut with a pizza cutter and roll big end to small end.

Place on tray to and spray the tops and place plastic over the top to rise.

Bake at 325 for 12 minutes on greased pan. 

Welcome!

Have you ever made a recipe and decided that it was sooo good that you wanted to share it?  Every time you make it does it make you think of someone, perhaps the person who shared it with you?  I have and I as a person of my generation, I find it difficult to keep track of all the recipes and remember everything I want to.  So, I am sharing these recipes and their origin that I have accumulated throughout my life.  If you like them, share them, because like love, recipes were meant to be shared.
