lesson learned?

we made mexican corn pumpkin soup its a three ingredent recipie 10 oz box of frozen corn 15 oz can of pure pumpkin puree and 1 tsp of chili powder in a med soucepan heat 1 tbsp of evoo over med-high heat add one box of corn thowed and one tsp of chili powder cooking and stirring until fragrent about one minute


stir in one can of pure pumpkin puree and two cups of water season with salt




simmer until thickend slightly about five minutes



then eat



so we did





need i say more?












this is why i personaly need to follow a resipie excatly. when i went to the srore to buy the stuff this morning i didnt read the recipie so i bought the stuff not knowing the amunt of corn or pumpkin needed i just grabed stuff and we didnt use chili pwder we used all spice instead after trying it the firs time we added a packet of chili mix and garlic powder and more salt then pepper it was better then perri added cheese to hers and she liked it better with that we think if you add chicken and bacon it would be better




so make this at your own risk this girl will probably never EVER make it again im sorry mom perri and chelsea that it didnt turn out i got the recipie from the rachel ray magazine and the recipie is fromcaroline wright

braided bread

so here is the next bread recipie i did i made it this morning here is everything that is needed to make it

combine and let sit foe 10 minutes: 3/4 cup of sugar 2 tbs of yeast 3 cups of waem water (it looks like this)

after 10 minutes add 1/3 cup of oil (vegetable or canola) 1 egg then add 1 tbs of salt 7 to 8 cups of flour (it should look like this)




(my shirt after mixing it all together) add flour till it pulls away from the side let it fise (cover with a towel or plastic wrap) for about an hour




punch down and divide the dough in half then take one half and divide into 3 equal pieces form 3 long snakes the size of your cookie sheet then braid it this makes 2 loafs youDON'T have to braid it you can put it into a loaf pan (2) or make little balls and put into a 9x13 inch pan and make rolls cook at 359 degrees for about 25 minutes *****side note***** mine came out doughy in the middle so you may want to cook it longer then 25 minutes




it is yummy

now there is a reason that there was only one round of bread in the picture the first round i put on the rack to cook and it started to fall threw the spaces in the racks (the recipie didnt say anything about a pan i highly suggest you use a cookie sheet or pizza pan) and this is what the oven looked like
