Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage

I looved this recipe. The only thing I did not follow is sugar and vinegar and added the cabbage about 15-25 minutes before I served so the cabbage was not soggy. Here is the link.

I would have taken a picture of these except we were too excited to wait. I grew up eating these in Morocco and are very popular in Europe. Here is an easy recipe I found in a kid's cookbook.

Grandma's Tomato Soup

For the tomato soup I subsituted the water for whipping cream. I did not have tomato juice but I did have tomato sauce. I only added 1 tsp of sugar. It had a nice spicey kick to it. Zachary said it was way better than the can tomato soup.

Corn Dog Muffin

The Corn Dog Muffin was a hit with the kids. We ate this with tomato soup. I did not add the cheese. Other than that, I followed it exactly.

Neely's BBQ Sauce

Neely's BBQ Sauce is the best homemade BBQ sauce I have tasted. It has the perfect amount of sweetness to it.

English Toasting Bread.

Sorry No Picture. This bread gets eaten up too quickly. I found the recipe from the Bread Machine Magic by Linda Rehberg and Lois Conway.

• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1/2 cup of water
• 3 cups of flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. yeast

1. Place all ingredients in bread pan. Select Dough setting and press start.
2. When machine beeps, remove from bread pan and turn onto a floured surfaced
3. Grease loaf pan. Sprinkle sides with cornmeal, if desired. I find it very messy with cornmeal so I do not do this step.
4. Place dough in greased pan and press evenly into pan
5. Cover and let rise in a warm oven for 20 -30 minutes. ( Hint: to warm oven, turn oven to Warm setting for 2 minutes then turn off. Place covered dough in oven ).
6. When dough has risen, Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Rub a little butter on the hot bread to soften in. Let it cool for a good 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!!!!
