Delicious Butter Biscuits Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter (1 stick); room temperature  4 tsp sugar 2 tsp salt 3 cups of flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 cups milk Instructions Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add flour and butter into the mixer and mix until butter is pea size. Add the sugar, salt, baking powder and mix until combined.  Last, add milk to the flour mixture and mix until combined. If the dough is a little sticky, add an extra Tbsp of flour to the dough. Next, generously flour the surface you will be rolling dough out on. Roll out the dough until it is around a half inch thick and fold the dough over itself in half and roll out again. Repeat until you have folded the dough back onto itself at least 6 times.  Even if it seems thin, it will rise. After it has been rolled out multiple times, use a biscuit cutter or a cup about the size you want your biscuits to be. (I actually use a kids IKEA cup) Pu

Chicken Chow Mein This is one of our favorites. I honestly like it better than take out! INGREDIENTS: 3 large chicken breasts 3 heads of broccoli 2 cups of shredded carrots 2 cups shredded green cabbage 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 Bok Choy cabbage, thinly sliced 3 cloves of  garlic, minced 2 Tbsp butter olive oil sesame oil 6 cups of chicken stock 4 Tbsp soy sauce 6 Tbsp corn starch 1 bag of dry chow mein noodles DIRECTIONS Thinly slice up chicken. I like to cut the breast in half and thinly slice it that way. In a large pot or wok, circle the pan with sesame and olive oil. Heat up on medium high heat. Add the chicken, salt and pepper a little and saute until completely cooked through.  While the chicken is cooking you can start to cut up the vegetables. I use shredded carrots, but you can chop your own. Whatever is easiest. If you have never used Bok Choy, don't worry, it is easy to work with. Cut the root end off

The Best Garlic Bread EVER! Garlic bread is one of the best sides for so many dishes.  Our kids absolutely love it and really expect it when we make Lasagna or Spaghetti. This recipe is not only really simple, but absolutely delicious. INGREDIENTS: 1 loaf of french bread 1 stick of butter at room temperature 2 larger cloves of garlic Salad supreme Put softened butter into a mug.  Mince garlic, I actually use a garlic press. It makes it a little easier. add the garlic into the butter and mix it up really well. Let it sit for an hour before spreading. Cut the loaf of french bread in half and put it onto a cookie sheet. Spread the garlic butter onto the bread. Something that makes this truly special id the salad supreme. Sprinkle salad supreme all over the bread. Put bread into the over and set the oven to broil. Keep an eye on it because it just needs t melt the butter and crisp up the bread which happens rather quickly. Serve hot!
