JB's Affordable Cooking Tips

Well it won’t be long it’s time for one more football game the daddy of them all.  The Super Bowl.  So, what are you serving your guest while their eyes are glued to the television.  Chicken, subs, pizza, chips, dip.  There are so many dishes you can serve just let your imagination go with it.

One of my favorites are the spicy buffalo wings.  They are so simple, it will probably take you about 30 minutes to prepare. 

Take about 2 lbs of buffalo wings and season with salt and pepper.  Since I’m always kicking  my wings up a notch I add some cayenne pepper and a little bit of garlic powder.

How many times have you heard someone say eat your veggies or, how many times have you told your children to eat their veggies.  I know I have heard it when I was growing up and I know I have  told my two children the same things, now I get to tell their children to eat their veggies.  Have you really sat and thought about how important it is to incorporate some type of  vegetable in our daily meals?

This was the very first time that I had made an attempt to make a cheesecake.  I usually would  just buy a slice if I was out and about and saw it.  Well not any more.  The other day I was moving around in the pantry and hit my foot on a heavy bag and of course with my nosey self, I opened the bag and to my surprise, I found a Magic Bullet. 

Comfort food to me  is a dish that when I smell it, I get excited when I taste it, I feel warm inside not  to mention sleepy and lazy.  One of my favorite comfort foods is chicken noodle soup you know food for the soul especially when I feel like I’m coming down with a cold and today, I have a cold and feel really really bad. 

 So I thought I would just recap on a recipe that I have previously done.  The recipe that I’m about to share with you is a keeper for my family.  So try it out and let me know what you think of  it.

This is got to be one of the best tasting plain cakes I have ever had.  But guess what? It’s as easy as 1234 LOL.  That’s actually the name of the cake believe it or not.  It’s light and fluffy just what you would expect for a pound cake.  So lets get right to it cause you just got to try it.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of butter softened

2 Cups of sugar

3 Cups Sifted Swans  Down Cake  Flour

3 Tsp baking powder

1/2 Tsp salt

4 Eggs

1 Cup Milk

Hey everyone,  I was out and about today and was really excited when I saw I would be able to snap a picture of the Coaches Trophy from the University of Alabama’s Winning the Rose Bowl.  That was the prettiest trophy I probably will every see in my life and I’m glad I got the opportunity.

Hi everyone and Happy New Years.  I hope that 2010 brings you all the blessing that you are looking for.  The post that I want to talk about today, is about making your own homemade bread using a bread maker.
