Sorry for my fingers being in the corner of the picture.  I sure didn't realize it until just now.  This is a really yummy supper that is perfect for the weekends, considering it does take awhile to cook.  At first, after reading the ingredients, I wasn't too sure about this one.  But let me reassure you, this is a keeper.  Hope you enjoy!

Beef Tips Over Egg Noodles

Ingredients:  1.5 lbs Beef Stew Meat

                   1 envelope Dried Onion Soup Mix

                   1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

                   12oz Ginger ale

                   Egg Noodles

Mix together onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and ginger ale.  Add beef to mixture.  Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.  Bake at 300 for 3 hours. 

Cook enough noodles for your family.  Serve the beef and the gravy over the noodles.

So Simple Bread

Here lately, I've been working on trying to bake bread.  It really hasn't gone too smoothly.  Today, I tried a super simple recipe, with no yeast, and I have to say it is super yum.  It is soft and tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside.  Hope you enjoy!

So Simple Bread

Ingredients:  3 cups Bread Flour

                   1 tsp Salt

                   1 Tbsp Baking Powder

                   1/4 cup Sugar

                   12 oz Beer

                   1 stick Butter, melted

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.  Add beer and mix well.

Put into a greased loaf pan and spread out (the best you can).  Pour the melted butter over the top of the dough.

Bake at 350 for one hour.  Removed from oven and turn out onto cooling rack to cool.  Some butter will be in the pan, if you can, pour on top of the bread.

Stuffed Crescent Rolls

These are a super simple breakfast or snack to make.  You can add whatever you feel like.  Hope you enjoy!

Stuffed Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:  1 package refrigerated Crescent Rolls

                   Whatever filling you would like

                   I used peanut butter and chocolate chips

Unroll crescent rolls and divide into triangles.  Spread peanut butter onto one triangle, sprinkle with chocolate chips, roll up.  Bake according to package directions. 

I also use butter with cinnamon and sugar.  You could easily make these savory as well with cheese, pepperoni, tomato sauce, etc.  The possibilities are endless!

Cherry Pudding Cake

I made this recipe for my son, who loves cherries.  This is super yummy and warm.  I got this recipe from a website that I visit often,  thepioneerwoman.com.  Hope you enjoy!

Cherry Pudding Cake

Ingredients:  Cake- 1 cup Sugar

                              2 Tbsp Butter, softened

                              1 whole Egg

                              1 cup All-Purpose Flour

                              1 tsp Baking Powder

                              1/8 tsp Salt

                              1/2 cups Whole Milk

                              1 can (15oz) Cherries in Syrup, drained, juice reserved

                              1/2 cups Pecans, finely chopped

                  Sauce- 1 cup Juice from Cherries (add water to make one cup if needed)

                              1 cup Sugar

                              1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour

                              1 Tbsp Butter

                              1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

                             

Preheat oven 325.  Generously butter a 9x9 square baking dish.

Cream together butter and sugar.  Add egg and mix well.  Sift flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add flour mixture to mixing bowl, alternating additions with milk.

Add cherries and pecans and mix. 

Pour batter into baking dish, smooth out top and bake for 40 minutes.

While the cake is in the over, combine cherry juice, sugar, and flour in a small saucepan.  Bring to a boil and boil for 8 minutes or until the sauce is thick.  Turn off the heat and add butter and vanilla. 

Drizzle 1/3 of the sauce on the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.  Spread the sauce over the top of the cake and allow to soak into the cake.  Let the cake sit for 10 minutes.  Serve the cake in bowls and pour more sauce on top.

I topped mine off with some ice cream.
