Family Favorite, Fuss Free, and Flavorful in under 30 minutes!  FANTASTIC!

Don’t you wish you could just hire someone to come in and cook all your meals or at least do some of the buying and prepping? Well, that is what I do part time for another family. when I was telling someone about my part time household managing job they commented, “Wow, I need to hire you to come to my house!”

I thought about it for a minute and replied..”I need me to come to my house!”

We have had so many life changes in the last few years that some of my basic homemaking skills have suffered a tad. Basically, it is easy to get out of a good routine and so much work to get back on track.

Having a handful of recipes like this one really helps. A LOT!

This is what Katerina from Diethood has to say about her recipe.

I feel that dinner is that one meal of the day that we should all try to eat together as a family, and that it should almost never be delivery. Unless it’s Friday, then it’s okay. Or Monday. Take it from someone who cooks almost all meals from scratch – this stuff is GOOD. Really, really good!

Quick Tip: I know I have mentioned this before, but if you don’t have time to cook up chicken, just buy a rotisserie chicken at Costco and cut it up..divide it into two bags because you might have enough for two meals!!

I Have Baked A Lot of Bread, But Never One Topped With These Ingredients.

I started baking my own bread about 25 years ago. I made several loaves at a time and put some in the freezer. It was a long day of waiting for the dough to rise, punching it down, kneading it, letting it rise again, and then baking. But it was worth it.

I heard once that the smell of freshly baked bread helps to increase your sense of well-being and I totally believe it. My family is used to eating sandwiches made with home-baked bread, homemade pizza crusts, and sweet bread with dried apricots, dried cranberries, and nutmeg.

Several years after I started baking bread the best thing ever was invented. Bread machines! No longer did bread baking take all day, it was just a matter of putting in the ingredients and waking up to the smell of a bakery right in my own kitchen. I still use my bread machine, but knowing a few recipes I can create by hand it nice as well.

Here is what Stacey at Bake. Eat. Repeat had to say about her delicious creation.

Can I just say that this roasted strawberry and feta focaccia with balsamic glaze just might be one of the best things to ever come out of my kitchen?  I don’t think that’s overstating it.  Well, maybe.  I do tend to state that everything is my favorite. But still.  This was incredible.

Quick Tip: If you have a bread machine and are pinched for time, go ahead and make the dough in it, or use your Kitchen Aid to help with the mixing and kneading. If you don’t do the whole thing by hand, there is no judgment here!
