Friday Favorites // Your Favorite Recipes // + A New Feature To All Recipes!

Hey there! I hope you're having an awesome week + start to the weekend! You'll notice I didn't post on Wednesday, but that was actually on purpose because I wanted to wait until Friday so I could post a Friday Favorites. Since last time I totally forgot and posted a Friday Favorites on a Wednesday. *face-palm*

For this Friday Favorites I'm doing things a little bit differently. Instead of sharing my favorites- I'm going to share yours! I've taken the five most popular recipes on my blog and created a recipe card for each of them! This recipe card will allow you to print out the recipes so you can save them in your recipe box or binder and make it way easier to find + make my recipes. You can also pin the image to make it easy to find without having to search my blog.

I'm also announcing the addition of this feature to every recipe I post in the future. So every recipe that is published on my blog will also have a recipe card included in the post. How awesome is that?! I'm super excited and I think these turned out absolutely adorable. Also, I'll add the cards I've made (below) to the recipe's existing posts.

So here are the five most popular recipes on my blog. Funny- 80% of them are desserts... ;)

I love how the sugar cookie recipe card turned out! It's definitely my favorite!

I definitely like these french fries more than regular ones. And that means these must be good since usually anything fried is better than not fried. (Ok, definitely not always... :P)

 Random fact: I don't like ketchup on fries!! 

Do you like ketchup on fries? Or are they better plain?

Recipe // Biscuits And Gravy

Guys, it's been two weeks since I've posted. *gasps*  I'm still figuring out what posting schedule I want to stick with- but I think once every two weeks is a little too far apart. What do you think about every Wednesday?

Anyways, I'm finally posting and for this special occasion (no, not really. It just feels special because it's been so long since I've posted!) I'm giving y'all a classic comfort food --- biscuits n' gravy! I made these for Sunday dinner last week and they were the perfect Sunday afternoon dish. Breakfast for dinner anyone?

Let's start with the biscuit recipe...

~ Biscuits ~

Ingredients:                  Makes 6 biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/3 cup butter or shortening  
• 1 cup milk

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder,

salt, and sugar.

Cut in the butter, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 

Gradually stir in the milk until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead 15 to 20 times.

Pat or roll dough out to 1 inch thick. 

Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour.

Repeat until all the dough is used.

Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 425 degrees F, or until edges begin to brown.

What is your favorite food to have for breakfast?
I don't like sweet breakfasts because I usually end up felling sick the whole morning.. ;) I'd take biscuits and gravy over donuts for breakfast any day!

Homemade Pizza Dough

Most everyone knows that pizza is a very popular (and delicious) food. But did you know it's also super easy to make?! At least this recipe is, I have tried others that take a lot longer, and are a lot harder. But this dough recipe is just five ingredients you can whip up real quick!

~ Homemade Pizza Dough ~

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 scant teaspoon yeast
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Combine the yeast and warm water in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the flour to the bowl of an electric mixer. 

Sprinkle in the salt.

Turn the mixer onto low, then slowly pour in the olive oil.

Finally, pour in the yeast/water mixture.

Stop mixing when everything comes together. 

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise 1 hour before using.

• The dough can be stored in the fridge for several days before using. 
• The recipe may be doubled or tripled depending on the quantity you need. (In the pictures above I tripled the recipe.)

When your ready to make the pizzas just roll 'em out,

 

 add your favorite toppings,

and bake until they're just how you want 'em! YUM!!

 This is my definitely favorite pizza crust I've tried. It's so simple, so good, and so foolproof! You can double or triple the recipe to make as many pizzas as you'd like. I hope you try it!

Fudge Brownies

Last week I shared my recipe for chocolate chip cookies. This week I'm giving another classic recipe that I use all the time-- brownies!! I think this is the easiest/quickest brownie recipe I've tried! Plus it only uses one bowl (or saucepan technically), so clean up is easy too!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

 Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.

 Remove from heat. Stir in the sugar,

 

 eggs,

 vanilla, cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.

Stir it all together.

When the batter is combined, pour it into a greased 9x13.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Be careful not to over bake.

I just wanted to note that this recipe makes enough batter to fill a 9x13 in. baking dish, but you can easily half it to make an 8x8. I hope you try this recipe! Be sure to pin it for later if you don't make it now. :) (Isn't Pinterest awesome?!)

Bye for now! ♥Katie
