Typical food prep Sunday.

On Saturdays I grocery shop so on Sundays is normal my prep day. Today I made banana bread muffins ( first picture) and a loaf of banana bread to freeze (recipe coming soon). I also prepped stuff for a breakfast parfait for during the week by washing and chopping some berries, making some homemade granola, and started some overnight oatmeal. I also normal make my biggest dinner on Sunday so I made crockpot honey sesame chicken.  I will try and post on all my big prep days let me know if you see a recipe you would like to try.

Cheese straws

  

A southern staple at many showers and parties. 

What you will need:

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese at room temperature 

1 cup butter at room temperature 

2 cups self rising flour

1 teaspoon salt 

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Assembly time: 

Cream together butter and cheese 

Add the rest of the ingredients into the mixer and cream until smooth 

Use a cookie press to shape dough onto a greased cookie sheet 

Bake at 350 for 10-15 mins or lightly golden brown

Mini monkey bread

Excuse the hello kitty plate those were for my niece who is a picky breakfast eater and loved them. There are so simple and easy to make.

Ingredients: 

1 small can biscuits mine had 10 and was 7.5 oz

1/4 cup sugar

1 half cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon 

4 tablespoons melted butter

To assemble : 

Cut your biscuits in to fourths

Have your butter in one bowl

Mix the dry ingredients in another small bowl

This was my little set up. Dip each biscuit piece in butter than roll in the sugar. Place in a greased muffin tin or mini muffin tin. I made 12 mini muffins with 3 pieces in each and then one regular size muffin with the left over pieces. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 13-15 mins or until no longer gooey. 

Now these are perfect as is but if you to take over the top just a little you can make a glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk together and topping after removing them from the oven. You could also use orange juice in place of milk and they would taste similar to orange cinnamon rolls. 

I hope you enjoy these they make for a special breakfast or good anytime of the day as a snack or dessert. 

Biscoff pie

This pie is like an inside out s'more. It is delicious and easy. If you have never heard of Biscoff spread it a type of spread similar to peanut butter but tastes just like graham crackers. It's also cookie butter from trader joes from what I have heard. 

On to the recipe something I created feel free to change it. 

What you will need:

A pre-made Oreo crust 

1 8oz container cool whip thawed 

1 8oz block cream cheese softened 

1/2 cup sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1 cup biscoff spread (I bought mine at aldi)

2 cups heavy cream

Milk chocolate shavings

Graham cracker crumbs 

Assembly time:

To make the filling put the cream cheese, sugar,vanilla, and biscoff in the bowl of your mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Next, gently fold in the cool whip by hand. Dump this mixture into your pie shell and smooth out. Now to make the whip cream some add sugar to their cream but this pie is really sweet so I just whipped heavy cream plan in my mixer and put it in a bag with a 1M tip and piped some stars around the top. Decorate the top with graham cracker crumbs and chocolate if you wish and stick in the fridge for at least 2 hours but I left mine in over night to set up fully. 

I hope you all enjoy this recipe.
