Potato Chicken Broccoli

About 6 potatoes cup up into pieces
1lb of chicken breasts cut into pieces ( 2 chicken breasts)
bag of frozen broccoli cuts
2 tbsp of butter
salt & pepper

Cook your chicken and set it aside.
Now cook your potatoes until softened
Add your frozen broccoli and than chicken very last.

In the meantime you need to make your sauce/gravy to add to your potatoes, chicken, and broccoli.

sauce/gravy recipe
2 tbsp of butter
2 tbsp of flour ( I ended up using maybe about 4 tbsp total to help thicken it)
1 can of chicken broth, undiluted
1/2 c milk
2 tsp of dry onion ( i just used garlic salt because I didn't have the onion)
dash of pepper.

Melt butter in pan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Whisk in broth and remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 2 minutes or until mixture thickens. (recipe from myrecipes.com)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies

• 1 cup Butter, Softened
• 1 cup Peanut Butter
• 1 cup White Sugar
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 2-½ cups Flour
• 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ½ teaspoons Salt
• 1 bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (12 Ounce Bag)
• 1 bag Milk Chocolate Chips, 12 Ounce Bag

 1. Make sure the butter is soft (sitting on the counter works best for this but I zapped mine for about 30 seconds on power 4 in the microwave). In a large bowl, beat together the butter and peanut butter until it is well combined.
2. Add the sugars and eggs and beat for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is frothy.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture, mix for about 1 minute, making sure it is well combined.
5. Stir in the chips just until well combined.
6. Place dough in fridge for an hour or up to overnight.
7. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place dough on a large cookie sheet 4 across and 4 down the length of the pan, in balls that are about 1 1/2 inches in size.
8. Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes. Do not overbake, take them out of the oven just after they start to crack and let them finish cooking on the sheet as it cools down.
9. Eat and share! Or freeze some of the balls for later—otherwise you will be getting a round belly from eating too many.

Traditional White Bread

6-7 cups of all purpose flour or bread flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 packages of regular or quick active yeast or 4 1/2 teaspoons
2 1/4 cups very warm water
2 tablespoons butter, melted (this is to put on top of the loaf while its rising and also to put on after it gets out of the oven)

Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes (until golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it)

You mix only 3 1/2 cups of flour to start with, the sugar, salt, yeast,shortening, and than add the warm water. After this add the additional cups of flour until the dough is not too sticky anymore and easy to handle. I ended up only using 6 1/2 cups total.

Knead dough, let dough rise, separate dough into two pieces to forms loaves, put those into greased loaf pans and let those rise until doubled in size. NOW BAKE!
