School Bus Cake

My boys are in love with school buses. They started Kindergarten this year and the only thing they were looking forward to was riding that "big kid's school bus". So to fuel the excitement, I attempted a school bus cake I found on the Family Fun's website.  It was a BIG hit and a favorite request in our house. For a novice cake decorator, this was simple, affordable and fun to create!

You'll have no trouble getting your kids on board when it comes to decorating and devouring this back-to-school dessert.

Ingredients

• 2 loaf cakes (pound cake or banana bread works well)
• 2 cups white frosting
• Yellow food coloring
• White chocolate chips
• 4 mini chocolate-covered doughnuts

• Round cookie wafers
• Black decorating gel
• Small red gumdrops
• Red Hots (I used red M&M's instead)

Instructions

1. Trim the top and sides of one cake to straighten them, if needed. Spread a bit of frosting onto the center of a serving plate and set the trimmed cake upside down on top of it (to keep the cake from sliding).
2. Trim the sides and top of the second cake to straighten them. Then slice off a 1 1/2-inch-thick piece from one end and use the remaining portion for the top of the bus, frosting the bottom and setting it atop the first cake.
3. Spread a thin layer of white frosting over the whole cake to seal in any crumbs and let it set for about 15 minutes. Spread more white frosting on the sides of the top layer (the windows of the bus). Reserve about a teaspoon of white frosting, then tint the rest yellow and use it to frost the rest of the cake.
4. For tires, use dabs of frosting to attach white chocolate chip hubcaps (tips down) to the centers of the mini doughnuts and then to stick the tires onto the bus.
5. Transform cookie wafers into people using white frosting and black gel to create eyes. Trim some red gumdrops for smiles, then press the cookie faces onto the cake.
6. Finally, add details such as black gel lettering, Red Hots for caution lights, and white chocolate chip headlights.

Babka ~ Easter Bread

I was in the store today and did a double take ...there's Easter stuff springing up all over. For us here in the great Northeast this is our light at the end of the horrible, frozen tunnel we call winter. I remembered this recipe that was shared with me two years ago when I made my first Easter dinner after my Mom died. It came out really well considering this is my first time making it from scratch. The inside was so moist! 

 I hope you like it and enjoy making it. This is  truly a family effort. If you have children, they'll love decorating & placing those eggs =)

1 cup warm water
2 packages active dry yeast
7 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 eggs (1 is divided)
lemon (grated and 2 Tbs juiced)
olive oil
5 or 6 eggs (dyed, but not cooked)
1 tablespoon milk
colored sugar

1. Pour warm water into large bowl, sprinkle on yeast, stirring until dissolved. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; with wooden spoon, stir until smooth. Cover with dish towel; let sit in a warm place for 1 hour. (I sit it on top of the oven and turn the oven on to 200 to keep it warm).

2. About 20 minutes before dough is ready, in large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat shortening until creamy, then gradually add sugar and salt, beating until smooth and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs and egg white until smooth and fluffy. Stir in yeast mixture, lemon peel and juice, then add 5 1/4 cups flour gradually. Take dough out of mixer and work with hands.

3. Place dough in large, oiled bowl, brush top with olive oil, cover bowl with towel, let rice in warm place until doubled in bulk (1 hour and 45 minutes).

4. When doubled, turn dough onto floured board, knead until smooth. Divide dough into 4 equal parts, with your hands roll each piece into a rope about 36 inches long. Then gently twist 2 ropes together, forming a strand, repeat with other 2 ropes. Grease large cookie sheet, then on it connect the two strands into a ring, leaving holes for 5 or 6 eggs. Insert colored uncooked eggs. Cover ring with towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 350. Brush ring with mixture of egg yolk and milk. Sprinkle with colored sugar. Bake 30 to 40 minutes.

6. Serve plain or with butter. Eggs will be hard cooked and edible.

*To color eggs if you don't have a coloring kit - combine 1/2 hot cup water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 20 drops food coloring

Stuffed Pork Chops

STUFFED PORK CHOPS:
4 - inch to nc and a half thick pork chops
( i lightly seasoned with lawry's seasoning salt and garlic powder)

1 small pack of frozen spinach thawed
1 small onion
1 med pack of whole mushrooms sliced ( presliced is quick but the whole ones just taste better and are usually in better shape atthe grocery shop)
3 tablespoons butter
Mozarella cheese

Toss butter into hot sautee pan and let melt fully then add in your onions let sautee for about 5 mins then add in sliced mushrooms and spinach until almost cooked (sauteed)

while sautee mis is cooking season front and back of pork chops with some lawry's  seasoning salt and garlic powder. Butterfly cut your pork chops (slice pork chops almost fully in half but leave a bit connected so you can close the pork chops back up.
Put few tablespoons of olive oil into a frying pan and heat up oil. While oil is heating
Place handful of mozarella cheese in each now open pork chop then add in about same of your mushroom/onion/spinach mix (sorry i did by eye on how much i thought the pork chops would hold) close pork chop up and put a toothpick on both ends of the pork chop to keep closed while you are cooking them.
I had to snip a smll part of the toothpick off to make sure all part of the side being cooked of my chops touched the pan.
Turn stove heat to med-low (3 on the dial) and place porkchops into hot pan and cook for approx 10mins on each side. Some stuffing will fall out but thats ok those are tastey bits as well =)

Enjoy

Special note: my 4 1/2 yr old can be a picky eater sometimes esp with her vggies she was hesitant to try the pork chops but she ate about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pork chop all herself  when usually she'll share half of what i have on my plate and be done.

Racetrack Cake

RACETRACK CAKE

I found this cake idea on Family Fun Magazine's Website. This site is my go to site for all kid related fun! Now if you're like me, I enjoy short cuts. With 5yr old twins running afoot, short cuts help to keep the force stable :)  When researching possible birthday cake options for their party this summer I came across this nifty race car cake (or as my Husband would say .... "you gonna make that for the Daytona 500 this weekend?" ... yeah...that's it Honey! lol).

The cake itself can either be a homemade version or my go to stand by .... Betty Crocker! After following the directions to bake them in two rounds and they've cooled ... the fun really begins!

Here is what you need:

Ingredients

• 2 baked 9" round cakes
• 3 cups white icing
• 1 to 2 cups finely crushed chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1 to 2 cups green sprinkles

• White Good & Plenty candies
• Checkered paper or ribbon
• 2 toothpicks and tape
• New toy cars, washed with soap and water

Here is what you do:

1. Cut a small semicircular notch from one cake, then position the cakes as shown and cover them with the white icing.
2. Place a small bowl in the center of each cake and sprinkle cookie crumbs around it to create the track.
3. Remove the bowls and sprinkle sprinkles onto each icing circle, then press the remaining sprinkles onto the sides of the cake for grass.
4. Lay a white Good & Plenty dotted line along the track and use a pastry bag to pipe a white icing border around the edge of the cake.
5. Create racing flags by taping small squares of the paper or ribbon to the toothpicks and place them on the track along with the race cars.

Enjoy!  If you give this a shot I'd LOVE to hear and see how it went, please comment below :)  I plan to try this out for their Birthday. My one Son LOVES Trains so I'm going to attempt a train version while giving my other Son this track theme with school buses & ambulances (his favorites).  Wish me luck!

Homemade Chicken Fried Rice

Chicken Breasts unboned no skin
seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Rice
soy sauce
1 egg

Cook rice as directed on package. I like ot use jasmine rice now and then for a slight change in flavors.
Bread your chicken in your seasoned breadcrumbs in a small bowl while your olive oil is heating up in your pan. i cook my meat on low -med level heat (3/4 or the dial dependin on how hot your stove gets) until fully cooked. chop into easy edible pieces and throw into your cooked rice pot along with as much soy sauce as suitable to your taste. stir together and let side aside while you cook your egg.

In frying pan now scramble one egg and cook fully add this to your rice/chicken mixture stir in serve and enjoy.

**special note: This can be a migraine friendly meal because you control what is going into it. i love chinese food but i cannot eat at alot of the places because of their use of MSG wich is most times an almost instant trigger. you can also add steamed veggies into it as well usually some peas and carrots go in nicely.
