It's Sunday……..I'm making some homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast today!
We're healthy all week long, I think we need something yummy! Grandmother Bread is on the 1st rise……then all the gooey goodness can begin!

OfflineI woke up around 3:00am for some crazy reason.
I fixed bacon, eggs, grits and hoe cake. Tell me ya'll know what hoe cake is! Mama fixed it when she didn't want to make bisquits. Made the same way bisquits are made but fried in a cast iron skillet lightly greased with bacon fat. Sort of like a big pancake but no eggs in it. Just flour, salt, baking powder and some bacon grease. Omit salt and baking powder if you use self-rising flour. I never have that anymore just all-purpose because of me making so much bread.
Oh and I love to have some blackberry jam to sop up with my hoe cake.

OfflineMe too! Lots of juice! LOL
I learned how to do them when a friend in high school taught me her mother's 'recipes' for feeding 4 kids with no support from her ex. Mac and tomatoes, mac with milk and butter and S&P (my daughter's fav comfort food). Later my MIL from Kentucky always made macaroni and tomatoes when she made soup beans and cornbread – but she cooked the mac in the tomato juice (yuk).

OfflineI had oatmeal this morning with dried cranberry's thrown in. I have to make myself eat oatmeal, it is not a favorite of mine. Usually I put a few frozen blackberries in it to make it eatable. My husband eats it every single morning during the work week…..I just can't do that! I try to eat it at least 3 times a week with a piece of toast. I do know it has lowered my cholestral by 40 points just eating it 3 times a week.
Truly I wish I loved it….but I'd rather have a bowl of grits with a dab of butter in it with toast!!!!

OfflineSteel cut oats which are SO much better than regular rolled Oatmeal. If you want the bennies of oatmeal but aren't that fond of it, try these! MUCH better. I find the taste and texture of rolled oats sort of … yucky.
They sell them in regular grocery stores in the hot cereal area, most common brand is McCann's in and it's pretty expensive, but if you buy it in bulk at a store that sells things that way, MUCH more affordable! (there is also a 'quick' variaty but it's not NEARLY as good!)
Directions say to combine in a proportion of 4 parts liquid to 1 part oats and to bring to boil then simmer for 30 minutes. Well, if you're like me, who has time to fuss for 30 minutes in the morning!??!?!
Here's the BEST way! Bring the water to a boil the night before and sprinkle and stir the oats in, simmer just another minute or so, then cover with a tight lid and set to the back of the stove. The next morning, turn the heat back on and heat it up adding a little more liquid if need be, or heat it up in the microwave. It's ready to eat!
It's important to heat it up again well, because of it sitting overnight. Hasn't killed me yet in 20 years, but do bring it back up to temp.

OfflineHi, Deb,
Yes, just piled peaches on top. Yogurt, too. This is basically "Baked French Bread". Suzanne has a recipe for a similar dish. You can do a lot with bread and eggs as I'm sure everyone here knows. Put fruit on the bottom, the top,…combine with sausage, meat, veggies. cheese, etc. I just felt especiallly clever grabbing those dried stuffing cubes. I always have dried bread on hand cause I make my own and chop up what we don't use in a couple days, but just never used them this way before. Thanks for your interest!
