30 Minute Bread Sticks

These bread sticks are a family favorite. I received the recipe from a friend who brought them along with a dinner after my first baby almost 20 years ago (where does the time go?!). They are my favorite breadsticks not only because they are quick and easy, but they are delicious. You spread the dough out on a greased jelly roll pan and cut them before baking with a pizza cutter or knife. They are so quick and easy that the longest part of the recipe is waiting for the oven to heat! RECIPE 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 4 1/2 cups flour 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon dried parsley 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese (just the green bottle) Instructions: Dissolve yeast in sugar and water. Add salt & flour and stir to combine. The dough will be soft and a little sticky, but not too sticky to handle. Set dough aside and use about 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to grease a jelly roll pan. Press the dough out t...

If Ye Are Prepared

I know that I am long out of the blogging sphere, but as I have thought about the craziness of 2020, the one thing that I have found soothing is the knowledge that if we are prepared we don't need to worry. I have a pretty good sized food storage, and often cook meals that come from that storage. I thought it might be nice to have all the recipes I use that utilize shelf stable foods that I store in one place, and if somebody else happens to find that helpful, then that is even better. So, here is a list of some of my favorite recipes that I use regularly that use most if not all ingredients that are shelf stable and ready to go from my food storage. Enjoy!

Refried Bean Tostadas

Tonight for dinner was a really simple meal. I have made my own tortillas and refried beans many times, but for a quick meal it doesn't get any easier than this. I just used a package of tostada shells and a can of refried beans. This barely qualifies as a recipe, but I will say that I really like the way that I modify canned refried beans. It is pretty simple, but makes a big difference in the flavor. I also want to point out that these are a great food storage recipe because they work well with a lot of shelf stable or freezer friendly toppings. The toppings that we like include guacamole - and if you haven't heard, you can buy bags of frozen avocados at Costco!! Love it!! They defrost beautifully, and you can use them straight or in guacamole. You can also use either fresh cheese from the fridge, or just sprinkle with a little bit of Parmesan from a can to get the feel of Cotija cheese. Both work great. Again, you can either use fresh tomatoes, pico de gallo or just a canne...
