Prairie~Phlox Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I have a whole chicken cooking to debone. I think we might do homemade donuts for breakfast tomorrow. I'm in the mood to make something. Maybe a coconut cream pie! Hmm...what's baking at your house? Phlox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I made zuchini (I never can spell that word) bread yesterday and today I'm making a peach cobbler to take to a potluck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Nope. Not today. I'm going out. By myself. All day. I'll bake tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I don't cook often and never bake. My mother lives close and has the girls over to bake, thank goodness! DH is working today, so we are having school. Aggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just took bread out of the oven. Not sure on dinner yet, but I am thinking a thick veggie soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Nothing today - but yesterday I broke in my new Lodge porcelain-lined dutch oven with a GREAT pot roast! I love to have the beefy 'taters that cook with the lump of meat! And the day before I made hubby his yearly plum pie (when little Italian plums show up in the store it is pie-time!).

LMA Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm making chicken croquettes with leftover chicken. I'm making spinach balls (appetizer) for tomorrow. Two of my children have baptismal anniversaries and one has a saint feast day this week. We celebrate these days more than birthdays, so I'm making a special cake.

OnTheBrink Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Not cooking, but cleaning out the fridge and putting away groceries. I will probably cook tonight, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're making them on Saturday for a Sunday breakfast, that sounds like something that would be a hit around here!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestof3 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Not me -- my mom's having us over for dinner. We had leftover beef stew for lunch, and I am off to finish unmounting my Stampin Up stamps to put in CD cases. Ben helped me until 11:00 last night. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie~Phlox Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Can I have your homemade donuts recipe? If you're making them on Saturday for a Sunday breakfast, that sounds like something that would be a hit around here!! Thanks! No problem, I've only made this recipe one other time, but I had made another one before that and I did not like the donut, but the glaze is taken from it. The donut was too yeasty the first time, but we liked this recipe. Also, I make the dough up in the bread maker, shape the donuts & put them in the fridge. On Sunday morning, I let them sit for about 20 minutes and then I fry them up. I do this before I shower and then shower afterwards. We do eat them leftover on Monday just as well though, so don't feel you have to do them on Sunday morning (we just have church later, so I'm not pressed for time) Raised Donuts 2/3 cup milk 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup butter (softened) 1 large egg 3 1/2 cups flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast vegetable oil for frying glaze or sugar Put ingredients except oil into bread machine bakng pan in order recommended by manufacturer. Select dough cycle. Do not use delayed cycle. After complete, roll dough 3/8" thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut with donut cutter, cover and let donuts rise on board 35-45 minutes (at this point I put them in the fridge, covered well. Heat 2-3 inches of oil in deeep fryer or heavy saucepan to 375 degrees. Fry 2-3 donutes at a time for 2-3 minutes, turing as they rise to the surface until golden brown. remove from oil, drain on wire rack. Roll warm donutes in sugar or dip into glaze. Glaze 1/3 cup butter, 2 cups confectioners sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. 4 tablespoons hot water, or more as needed, melt all on the stove. Enjoy!

Needleroozer Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am. We are having an Indian friend over for supper- he is homesick for good food, so I am making Rogan Josh, Stuffed okra, saffron rice, a dal, chutneys and raitas etc. Should be fun.
