Delicious Dinner Rolls

Happy Friday Everyone!

I am here to share one of my recently discovered favorite recipes with you.

These are delicious and take hardly and time to whip up. What I love about them is that I can pretty much throw all the ingredients in my mixer with my dough hook and then I let them rise while I finish cooking dinner. So the original recipe is from here >>>>Kitchen Meets Girl

But i'm going to share it here along with the changes I made and what I do that results in those beautiful rolls you see pictured above.

The original recipe calls these "30 minute dinner rolls". With my changes these take about the same amount of time, which includes cooking for 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of warm water
• ⅓ cup (6 TBSP) Melted Butter [REAL unsalted butter, not margarine]
• 2 packets Rapid Rise Instant Yeast [I use Fleischmann's]
• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3½ cups  all-purpose flour 

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees

Combine melted butter, sugar, and egg mix until combined (I do this by hand). Then combine the 2 packets of yeast with the 1 cup of warm water, give it a quick sir then toss it in with your butter, sugar, egg mixture. Next I add 2 cups of flour and pop it in my mixer with my dough hook on a medium speed until combined. *If you don't have a mixer you can do this by hand with a wooden spoon, I would not recommend doing this with a hand mixer as the dough is going to get quite thick. Then add the remaining amount of flour 1/2 cup at a time. 

Now once the flour is fully incorporated I grab the dough and knead it with my hand just a little while forming it into a ball. Then I put it back in the mixing bowl cover it, preferably with a kitchen towel, and I set it on top of my warm oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes I then grab a cookie sheet and start forming my dough into 12 balls. The pop them in the oven for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown on the top. Brush with melted butter and proceed to stuff into your mouth. :D

I hope y'all enjoy this dinner roll recipe as much as I do! For newbies at using yeast this is about as easy and simple as it gets and it's pretty difficult to mess up, just remember WARM water (not scalding, or boiling). 

ENJOY!

Simple Salmon Pea Pasta

Yay for Fit Tip Tuesday! I am excited to share a super yummy (mostly healthy) recipe that I like to make to have for lunch some weeks. It is really really easy and only has 4 ingredients, most of which you probably have around your house.

You Need:

2 Cups of Shell Pasta (you can really use any kind, but i’ve found shells work best)

1/2 Can of Peas

1 Can of Salmon

Mayonaise 

So you wanna cook the pasta, as per the directions depending on what you are using. Once the pasta is done, drain the pasta. Then put the pasta in a medium sized bowl. Then you want to add your salmon and peas, and mix them together. Then you want to add enough mayonnaise to coat what you have in the bowl, I probably generally use a few large spoonfuls (you really don’t need a whole lot). Then you want to stick it in the fridge and let it sit for about 2 hours so that it has time to chill. Then eat!

I love this recipe because it is easy, and really inexpensive to make. Then it usually will last me for lunch for about a week, which makes it even more cost friendly. 

So there you have it a super simple easy delicious lunch recipe!

Recipe: Simple Shrimp Pasta

Ok so I have a recipe to share with y'all today! Now I am going to be totally honest this is not exact by any means but I can provide you with enough information that you can get the gist of it.

So there you have it, easy peasy, and actually pretty healthy. We had it with a side of steamed vegetables to get our veggies in, but next time I make this I think I might modify it and all them in with the pasta. I really like how I came up with this and the fact that it doesn't require too much cooking skill, it's pretty healthy, and it was still yummy. I am slowly learning that "healthy" doesn't mean it has to taste bland, and that makes it easier to work toward my healthy eating goals!

Some Recipe Love

Hey guys! I hope you had a chance to check out my Techie Tuesday post, but here I am back again to share my fit tip for the week, and i'm linking up with Lisa over at The Skinny on Health.

So my boyfriend S & I love having dessert. I also love to bake so generally there are always sweets around. Well since we are trying to eat healthier, our normal sweets (brownies & cookies) are kind of a no no in trying to maintain our healthy eating goals. So I started scouring Pinterest for some healthy dessert options so that we would have to give up our dessert entirely. Can I just say that I hit the jackpot?!

3 Ingredient healthy Berry Cobbler

This was 1, so easy to make considering it only has 3 ingredients. 2, makes enough that we will be able to have it as our dessert for the whole week. And 3 it's delicious! Since this is not my recipe i'm not gonna share the ingredients here, either hop over to my Pinterest to check out the pin, or just go HERE.

I promise you won't regret it. The only thing that I want to note is that I used regular sprite instead of sprite zero cause I am not a big fan of artificial sweeteners. Also you want to mix the sprite and the cake batter before pouring it over the fruit. SO GO. GO NOW. Check out this awesome recipe and then make it because it is that easy. And you can always add a spoonful of vanilla bean ice cream like we did just because it just tastes yummy with the hot cobbler.
