crazy bread


it actually kind of looks like this (the kind from little Caesar's).
this recipe comes from a wedding gift: millard county centennial cookbook (2nd edition) a.k.a where steve is from. and it is great for when you want breadsticks but didn't think of it until you started cooking dinner and/or don't have time to let it rise. so on that note here it is!

1 1/2 c warm water
1 Tbsp honey or sugar (i used sugar)
1 1/2 Tbsp dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
3-3 1/2 c flour
butter (melted) and desired seasonings (i used garlic salt on one half and seasoned salt on the other)

mix all ingredients together, adding flour last. Roll out and place on a cookie sheet. Cut into 1-2 inch strips and drizzle with butter. And seasoning of choice.
Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes. Steve said he'd be okay if i felt like making them again sometime so i know they're good!!!

Resolutions/Goals

Yes indeed, it is a new year. And for some reason, I actually made a resolution! This was done in hopes to feel like I was accomplishing something- both spiritually and physically. (the physically because sometimes you just need to see proof!)
As such I am going to share with you my two resolutions/goals.
The first: to read my scriptures daily. 
Yes, this is a typical LDS resolution. But it is one that I needed to make. I haven't been doing so well the past year, and sometimes I can tell. I want to make sure I am at least trying to improve myself and so far I have only missed 2 days. 80% is still passing!!!!

The second: to try a new recipe every week. 
This one started before the new year but it's one I really enjoy and want to keep up. I am no cook, but these new recipes are helping me to improve. So far we have tried a potato casserole, breakfast pockets, taco cups, general tso/gao chicken, and homemade tortillas.
And we've liked them all!! Hopefully I remember to keep posting so you can try some of these recipes too!
Please share with me some of your favorite recipes or new ones you've tried and liked!
Happy eating!
