Fall season :)

 The fall season is approaching in a matter of days, so you know what that means? Football season! I personally don't follow it but I do love this time of the year. The time when most husbands,dads, grandpas, brothers and of course we won't forget the pigskin loving ladies, sit on the couch with a beer and scream at the TV like psycho ward escapees. Superbowl and tailgating parties are sure to be on the calender (I usually go for the food haha). So in honor of this time of year I am going to be featuring some tailgating recipes, so look for those soon.

Also, I've mentioned in one of my earlier blogs that I love thrifting. My mom loves it even more, so one day as I was being taken hostage by my mom at Park Avenue Thrift (much cheaper than Goodwill) I found these two chairs, they were priced at like $9 for both and it just so happens my mom had a 50% off coupon so I got the set for like $4.50! They don't look like much now but I immediately saw the finished product after I clean, re-cover the pillows and paint them. I've posted pictures of the before. Once I finish them I will post the after. Oh and I think the cushions are upside down (haha)...whatever you get what they look like.

Very Easy Mushroom Pot Roast

I usually make this roast when I have guests over for sunday dinner, it's a hit. It tastes like something that requires a lot of effort but it really doesn't. Only a few ingredients are needed. Only catch is, if you want to eat at a decent hour you have to get up pretty early (I really do hate that part lol).

Any one of the ingredients that doesn't specify an amount is up to you.

I came up with this recipe a couple of years ago because I needed to cook something but I only had these few ingredients in my kitchen lol.

What you will need:

1. 
   
    Eye of round roast (Do not use Chuck Roast it will be too greasy)
2. 2 cans or 1 big can of Cream of Mushroom soup
3. Mushrooms (fresh or canned)
4. Salt ( I use lawry's seasoning salt of course ;)
5. pepper
6. Onion (or onion powder)
7. 1/4 cup flour
8. 1/2 cup water
9. 1/2 cup milk

Directions:

1. 
   
    Set crockpot on low for 10 hours (Yes, 10 hours)
2. Pour in water, milk flour; whisk until theres no lumps
3. Add cans of soup and mushrooms,onions mix together
4. Season Meat; Put it in the crockpot
5. Add top and let it cook (Try to keep opening crockpot to a minimum because it takes a while for it to heat back up to the normal temp)

This dish is best served with HOMEMADE mashed potatoes (The box stuff doesn't cut it, lol) or rice.

I'm sorry It's kinda hard taking a good pic of roast lol

Quick and Easy Doughnuts :)

Yeah I know, I've been slacking on the recipes. I seriously should've been a cop because I LOVE doughnuts! Yeah it's not the healthiest food but you gotta treat yourself sometime ya know :). They're not exactly what I expected..Instead of Krispy Kreme they're more like chinese doughnuts.

   1 Pkg refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
2. 
   
   Oil for frying
3. 
   
   Bottle cap (water bottle or soda bottle)
4. 
   
   Wax paper
5. 
   
   Choice of topping:
6. 
   
   I used a little cinnamon and sugar

Directions:

1. 
   
   Preheat oil to about 375F
2. 
   
   Seperate dough on wax paper
3. 
   
   Cut out doughnut holes with bottle cap
4. 
   
   Cook dough in pre-heated oil until golden brown (this should only take a few seconds on each side)

   Put cooked doughnuts on plate with paper towel

   Immediately put on topping
