Guest Appearance by Mark and Dinah

So summer has begun, and Dinah just finished her boards. We decided to make some dinner and watch some movies :D
Mark came up with this AWESOME chicken recipe and we made veggie foil packs! Dinah came up with the secret to passing the boards...cake in a mug.

Chicken with 40 cloves of Garlic:
40 cloves of garlic
Whole chicken cut up
Olive Oil
Thyme, Oregano, or basil
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel the cloves of garlic. Salt and pepper the chicken. Brown the outside of the chicken in a pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Put the chicken in a pyrex pan, add the cloves of garlic and 1/2 a cup of olive oil. Add a sprinkle of whatever herb you like best.

























Cake in a Mug
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons milk
splash of vanilla
1 coffee mug
Frosting and sprinkles
Mix all well in a mug. Cook for 3 minutes in the microwave. (Watch it cook...soo cool!!)
Ice and add sprinkles. enjoy!

Brinner...again

This Brinner was before bowling again! Love traditions :D
I made monkey bread and sausage souffle. Two really easy things to make...but sooo delicious. Sausage souffle is grandma's recipe, but we had a few vegetarians in the group this day, so I had to make a big modification (but no one even noticed). Enjoy the monkeys showing why the monkey bread is so named :D

Sausage Souffle:
1 lb morningstar farms vegetarian ground sausage
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 cups milk
6 slices white bread, cubed
1 tsp dried mustard
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Defrost the ground sausage (and if you are doing in with normal sausage, cook it first) and mix in a HUGE bowl with other ingredients. Pour into a casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.










Monkey Bread:
I think everyone knows how to make this super easy recipe, but I just posted it so I don't always have to look it up when I want to indulge.
4 cans refrigerated biscuits
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut biscuits into fourths. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a medium bag with the biscuit pieces. Arrange the pieces in a pan. Melt the butter with the brown sugar and boil for 1 minute. Pour over biscuits. Bake for 45 minutes.

Breakfast with Mom

So this is cheating..but mom came to Akron for some work and I stayed in her hotel room. This is what was delivered to us in the morning....that's right. Everyone be jealous!!
:) love you mama!
