{Friday Five Foodie Finds} #8 : Fall Food Love

November 18, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

It’s Friday!!  Praise the Lord it’s Friday!!

It has been a crazy week filled with homework and not as much sleep as I would like so Friday for me means sleeping in!  {If only till 8am}  My last two finals are Monday then I get two weeks off of school and I cannot wait.  I have grand plans of reading the magazines that have been piling up and cleaning cleaning cleaning.

I am so excited to share these yummy recipes with you because this time I am for sure making two of them.  Also since I missed out last week (uber-over-homeworked), I am adding a bonus to the regular five (making that six for you non-math majors).

1.)
(Saw it first on) Our Table For Seven: Pumpkin Cookies with Browned Butter (ala Betty Crocker)

I actually just baked these in a whole-wheat version and with more spices.  Delish and nutrish!  I’m gonna try to make the browned butter tomorrow before work.

2. )
The Novice Chef Blog’s Cinnamon Sweet Potato Biscuits

This photo is just gorgeous.  I love every part of it.  The colors, composition, the details such as the mason jars and the white string.  The little biscuit “presents” are so sweet! (My art teacher would be proud.)  I have decided to try to make these delightful creations for Thanksgiving this year.  We have our usual rolls that we buy in a package and stick in the oven…but I think the family would enjoy some homemade rolls!


3. )
I Talk to Food’s Skillet Monkey Bread

This is the second time I’ve seen a dessert that I must make…in a skillet!?  I really need to get one of these cast iron skillets.  Or maybe that would be too dangerous if I actually was able to make these goodies?

4. )
Salty Eggs over Pretzel Bread

I want this for breakfast.  ASAP!  I would also really love to know what the heck pretzel bread is.

5. )
Babble.com’s Homemade Chili Mac

A staple around the house growing up has always been Hamburger Helper.  I have carried on that tradition and I am pleased to say it is working out quite well….but…since I found a healthier homemade version…I may have to try it out!  🙂

BONUS: 6. )
Slow Cooker Sticky Chicken

This is definitely a bonus.  It reminds me a little of sweet and sour chicken (with the rice) although it may not taste that way at all.  Besides it being the bonus number 6…it’s also a crockpot recipe!

Confession: I have not used my crockpot the entire time I’ve lived with my Daddio.  I’ve been here over a year!  I think it’s time for me to bust it out yes?

If your recipe showed up on this blog…please grab a button!  (Just copy and paste the code to your side bar or any blog post.)
