About Me

My photo
Most of you know that I came from a big family ~ 7 kids! No, we are not Catholic. Yes, we had the same parents. (Those are usually the two questions people ask when they hear "7 kids?".) Most of you also know that my mom was sick for years. I am the second oldest, so I did a lot of the care-taking of the younger kids. I learned to cook when I was 10. I remember the first thing I cooked with my dad was Tacos. I loved cooking. Then, there was the baking. I made all the desserts and the b-day cakes for everyone's b-day, including mine. And I loved it! Another thing I remember is my grandmother making the biggest dessert spreads ever at the holidays. She made sure that every person there (we are talking, like, 30+ people) had their favorite dessert. I remember visiting her when I was 20. We cooked & baked all week. I never felt as close to her until then. We had this bond now - baking! I learned so much from her. I think it fueled my love of baking ~ and cooking! Now, at the Holidays, I make sure to prepare everyone's favorite dessert, no matter how many attend. It just wouldn't be the Holiday's if you didn't have your favorite pie, cake, cookie or candies!!

Zero Nutritional Value Meal - Brown Sugar Biscuits

Compliments of Emily, Amanda & Alyssa...

Tahoe Meals: Day 5, "Breakfast"

LOL....  One day to totally "junk it" for breakfast!!  Today is that day!  (For the kids, anyway!)

This is the kind of breakfast the I grew up on!! Why I shared this with my kids, I'll never know....  but it brings back memories every time we eat these sugary delights!  When the kids added Nutella to a biscuit this trip, it reminded me of "chocolate gravy".  I'll have to blog that recipe soon.  Not sure my kids have ever had that one, but it's my Gramma Clark's recipe.  My mom made it all of the time.  (Actually, she told my dad what to do and he made it!!  Dad did about 90% of the cooking in our house...  Mom did 90% of the "telling him how to do it". LOL.  Actually, he didn't need directions most of the time.  Just a deep fryer!!  :)  Anyway, I don't like chocolate, but I'd eat the Chocolate Gravy Biscuits just to bring the memories flooding back!  Ok, ok - so I got off topic!!  I'll blog that another day, but now, let's get to our Zero Nutritional Value Meal!!!

Ingredients:
  • refrigerator biscuits
  • butter
  • brown sugar


Directions:
  1. Cook biscuits according to directions.
  2. Butter each biscuit while hot.
  3. Add brown sugar.
  4. Enjoy!
For today's breakfast, Alyssa had Nutella on her biscuit instead of brown sugar.  All the girls had the Nutella croissants, too...  blogged earlier!

Yummy!! (for chocolate lovers!)
