McDonalds Has Got Nothing On Us!
Every conference Sunday since I was a kid was "Big Breakfast" Sunday. It didn't matter what we had but it always took the majority of the first session to make. This year we continued the tradition, but haha! we were actually eating it by the first talk. I feel particularly proud of this fact. So here's our breakfast egg, bacon, and cheese biscuits and hashbrowns.
I made the biscuits using this amazing recipe from a blog I randomly found http://pinchmysalt.com/2007/09/18/how-to-make-the-best-buttermilk-biscuits-from-scratch/ but they have since become my new favorite thing because they are amazing!!!
Now all me and Danny need to do is decide what to but on top of the hashbrowns. Danny likes ketchup while I prefer maple syrup.
Then, for dinner we had Beef Stew with Cibatta bread.
I threw in a can of diced tomatoes
2/3 of a can beef broth (would have been a whole can but this was left over from some other recipe)
1 lb. beef stew meat tossed in four and pan fried till outside is brown
1 onion diced
2-3 cloves of garlic
a swig of Worcestershire sauce
3 beef bollin cubes
2 c. water
About 8 small potatoes cut into bit-sized pieces.
Then let it sit in the crock pot all day on low (about 10 hours, but if you don't have that much time like me today 1-2 hrs. high 4-6 hrs. low)
For the cibatta bread I cut them in half then rubbed the insides with a garlic glove, drizzled them with olive oil, and toasted them lightly. They made a great addition to the stew.
Also during the conference break I decided to make something fun for my visiting teachies for Easter. I didn't want to bring anything foodish because I always bring food and it is a little cliche. So this is what I came up with. Tiff had an egg like this when we were kids, but it got broken. She was crushed so my mom helped her make a new one. I remember being so amazed when she blew the egg out! Anyways it turned out to be the perfect idea as they were so much fun to make.
