Monkey Bread Rolls
Better Homes and Gardens New Jr Cookbook Pg. 22
*Start this the night before you want to have them.
**Leave 45 minutes the morning you're eating it to finish it.
***Also, this would make a FANTASTIC Christmas morning breakfast!!!!
1/2 of a 34.5 ounce package frozen cinnamon dough (6 rolls)
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1 Tbs. syrup
The night before, grease a baking sheet with shortening. Place frozen rolls about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill in fridge overnight to let dough thaw and begin to rise.
Generously grease 12 muffin cups with shortening. Divide the pecans evenly among the muffin cups. Save for a later step.
Turn on oven to 350 degrees. Put butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds or until butter is melted. Put sugar in another small bowl.
Use some kitchen scissors to cut each roll in four pieces. Dip each piece into melted butter, then roll in sugar. Place two dough pieces in each muffin cup. Drizzle with remaining melted butter, sprinkle with remaining sugar.
In a small bowl combine ice cream topping and syrup, drizzle over top of rolls. Place muffin tin in a large shallow baking pan.
Put pan in oven. Bake 20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown. Cool 1 minute. Serve warm. EnJoY!
Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Paula Deen and Friends Living It Up, Southern Style Pg. 16
1 pork tenderloin (2 to 2.5 pounds)
Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs. dry red wine
1 Tbs. honey
1 Tbs. brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 green onions, chopped, white and green parts
In a large resealable baggie, place all of the marinade ingredients and whisk to combine. Add the pork tenderloin. Seal the bag and put into a bowl. Marinate overnight in the fridge.
Preheat the outdoor grill, or the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the tenderloin from the marinade and pat dry (I actually didn't do this). Reserve the marinade in a small sauce pan. Grill the meat for about 35 to 40 minutes or put into a greased casserole dish and cover with foil and roast for 45 minutes. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into 2 inch pieces.
While the meat is cooking, gently simmer the reserved marinade until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, stirring occasionally. Drizzle a small amount of marinade over each piece.
Garlic Cheese Biscuits
Paula Deen and Friends Living It Up, Southern Style pg. 19
*If you like Red Lobster's rolls, you'll love these, they are just like 'em!
1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder (I used garlic salt, and used about 1/2 tsp.)
1/4 tsp. salt (I didn't use this since I used garlic salt)
1/8 tsp. dried parsley flakes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (don't forget this! It's important!)
Combine the Bisquick and cheese in a small bowl. Add the water and stir until combined. The dough will be slightly moist. Drop the dough by the tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, until firm and beginning to brown.
While the biscuits are baking, make the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic salt and parsley flakes. Mix well.
As soon as you take the biscuits from the oven, brush them with garlic butter. EnJoY!
Corn
this is ALL mine!
Fill a glass, microwave safe, bowl with lid with enough frozen corn for your family. (I use about 3 cups) Put about 2 Tbs. margarine on top and add salt and pepper. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes, stir and microwave another 3 minutes. EnJoY!
