Texas Roadhouse Rolls April 2, 2015
Makes 5-6 dozen smaller ones, or 19
larger ones, as Jenn had recommended at Eat Cake. After all, bigger IS
better, and it’s less you have to eat! 
Ingredients:
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups milk scalded and cooled to
lukewarm
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar,
separated
3 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
slightly, plus additional for brushing
7-8 cups flour (I used about 7 1/2
cups)
2 whole eggs
2 teaspoons salt
Directions
In the bowl of an electric mixer,
dissolve yeast in the warm water with the teaspoon of sugar.
With the dough hook attached, mix in
the milk, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, and enough flour to make a medium batter.
(I added about 2 1/2 cups of flour here.)
Mix thoroughly.
Allow to stand until light and foamy,
about 8-10 minutes.
Add melted butter, eggs and salt.
Beat well.
Add enough flour to form a soft
dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface, and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
While dough is resting, prepare a
large bowl by spraying it with cooking spray.
Knead dough until it is smooth and
satiny.
Place into prepared bowl and turn
over, coating it with oil.
Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap
and set to rise in a warm area until double in size, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
Punch dough down.
On a lightly floured surface and with
a lightly floured rolling pin, flatten dough into a rectangle until it is about
1/2-inch thick.
Fold the rectangle in half the short
way so that it is about 1-inch in thickness, and lightly roll together to seal
the sides together.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
With a dough scraper, cut into rolls.
Place rolls on a greased baking
sheet.
Cover with a damp towel and allow to
rise in a warm area until double in size, about 1 hour or so.
Preheat oven to 350 and bake rolls
for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
Upon removing from oven, brush tops
with melted butter.
Serve with Cinnamon Honey Butter.
Cinnamon Honey Butter
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room
temperature
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter for approximately 30 seconds
until lightly whipped.
Add confectioners’ sugar, honey and
cinnamon and beat until smooth and thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides
of the bowl.
Continue beating on medium-high speed
until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Title: Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
Description:
Okay so this might be my new favorite meal. So tasty!
You gotta try it! Mom asked for the recipe but I thought I'd share it to
all of you.
Ingredients:
4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
(1 chicken breast equals 1 c. chicken)
2 c shredded Mexican Cheese blend
10 flour tortillas (medium size)
2 limes
4 Tbsp honey
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro (2 tsp. dried)
[1/3 dried herbs to fresh]
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans green enchilada sauce
Optional: 1 small can diced green chili’s
Directions:
Cook and finely dice (or shred) the chicken breasts and place in a
large mixing bowl. I usually boil them, it's easy, but grilled works nicely
too. To the bowl, add 1.5 cups of the cheese, the diced green chills and the
chicken soup and mix well. To make the sauce, zest and juice both limes in a
separate bowl. Add in the honey, chili powder, garlic powder, chopped cilantro
and olive oil. Mix well. Add sauce to the chicken mixture and stir well. Now
fill each of the tortillas with a portion of the mixture and place in a 9x13
glass baking dish. Top the rolled tortillas with the two cans of green
enchilada sauce and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees F
for 30-40 minutes or until the cheese has melted and browned.

Title: Yakisoba submitted by Moiya
Wood
Description:
Use Udon or Shanghi Noodles.
Yakisoba (fried noodles) is standard main or side dish fare at
Japanese festivals and on Japanese streets, sold from small booths or carts. It
may surprise you that this dish actually originated in China. Yakisoba noodles
are not made from buckwheat (soba), but like ramen noodles, are made from wheat
flour. However, the dish I made for the cultural night was made with soba or
buckwheat noodles. In general, Yakisoba usually refers to sôsu yakisoba,
flavored with the popular Japanese sauce sôsu). Yakisoba consists of stir-fry
ramen-style noodles with pork, beef, chicken or tofu with vegetables (usually
cabbage, onions or carrots) and flavored with sosu, salt and pepper.
Traditionally, the Japanese serve it with garnishes like aonori (seaweed
powder), beni shoga (shredded pickled ginger), katsuobushi (fish flakes), and
Japanese mayonnaise.
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
Protein of your choice -- pork, beef, chicken, shrimp, squid or tofu
Soy sauce
Rice wine
Sugar or honey
Chinese wheat noodles or Udon
Vegetable or sesame seed oil
Onion
Cabbage (Napa, savoy, Bok Choy)
Carrots
Garlic
Ginger
Snow peas (optional)
Skillet or wok
Cooking utensils
Directions:
1 Prepare the following: 1 lb meat/shrimp/squid/protein/tofu. (Slice
meat thinly against the grain) 1/3 cup soy sauce1/3 cup rice wine2 teaspoons
sugar or 1 teaspoon honey12 ounces Chinese wheat noodles or, if you prefer a
more substantial noodle, try Udon (which actually makes it Yakiudon) 3
tablespoons vegetable or sesame-seed oil1 onion, sliced thin1.5 lb Napa cabbage
or savoy cabbage or Bok Choy, sliced very thin 3 carrots, grated1 tablespoon
chopped ginger (or more if you like)1 clove crushed garlic (more if you like)3
scallions, thinly sliced Snow Peas (optional)
2 In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar,
stirring to dissolve.
3 Put the meat/protein into the pan with some oil and cook for two
minutes.
4 Cook noodles in boiling water about eight minutes, or until tender.
5 Drain noodles and rinse under cold water.
6 In a large deep skillet or wok, cook onion in oil for approximately
three minutes.
7 Add the cabbage (it will seem like a lot, but it will cook down),
carrot and ginger and cook until cabbage is softened, about three to five
minutes.
8 Cover with noodles and pour sauce over mixture.
9 Cover and cook for three to five min., then remove the lid and toss
the mixture together until it is well combined.
10 Place on a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions if
desired.
Tips & Warnings
In a pinch, you can substitute the cabbage and carrots for a one-pound
bag of slaw mix.
Still in a rush? Buy pre-made yakisoba sauce (which is frequently
likened to Worcestershire sauce).
For the meat/protein, you can substitute thinly sliced slivers of
bacon and Spam (yup, Spam). Yes, it's a little salty, but very Hawaiian and
Okinawan.
You can also add shitake mushrooms for added flavor.
You can also add bean sprouts for added flavor.

Ingredients:
Chewy Triple Ginger Cookies
Bake @ 375 degrees for __ min.
Yield: four dozen cookies
2 cups flour
2 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. each cinnamon & cloves
½ tsp. salt
1 cup golden brown sugar (packed)
½ cup shortening,
softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg
¼ cup molasses
½ tsp. vanilla
½ cup finely chopped
crystallized ginger
1 Tblsp. Fresh ginger (grated)
Sugar
Tips about ginger:
The ground and crystallized forms of ginger can be found in the spice
and baking sections or bins of the grocery stores.
Crystallized ginger is usually chopped before it is used.
Lightly oiling your knife before chopping crystallized ginger will
prevent it from sticking to the blade.
Ginger appears in the grocery stores in many forms. The gnarly
root, actually a rhizome, is sold fresh in the produce department. Fresh
ginger should be firm and not shriveled in appearance. After
peeling, fresh ginger may be used sliced, chopped or grated in cooking.
Using a microplane, a rasp-like grater, works well for grating ginger.
Directions:
....as per usual
mix shortening, butter until soft
add brown sugar & whip
add egg...molasses & vanilla
mix dry ingedients together and then add slowly
gradually add the crystallized ginger so that it doesn't all stick
together in a clump (what a mess! I've done that before!!!!)

Title: Koolaid Popcorn
Ingredients:
6 qts. pop corn (popped)
2 c. sugar
2/3 c. margerine
1 c. syrup (corn or lily white)
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 pkgs. Koolaid
Directions:
Preheat oven to 225 F.
Boil sugar, syrup and
butter/margarine together for 3 minutes. It will more than
double in volume because of the soda. Make sure
you use a medium sized pot when making it.
* Remember to dissolve
the sugar before it begins to boil by stirring while it is heating. I use the spoon to make a steady stream of
the syrup and take two fingers from the other hand and quickly pinch in the
stream and rub my fingers together to feel for sugar crystals. Yes, It is hot!
Do not stir while it is boiling for 3 min.
On a large shallow ungreased
baking dish, spread out popped popcorn.
In a separate bowl, combine the
Kool-Aid with the baking soda.
Remove sugar syrup from the stove
and carefully stir in the Kool-Aid mixture. (Note: This will make the sugar
mixture puff up. Be careful to not get burned.)
Now take sugar mixture and pour
it over the popped popcorn. Carefully mix all till combined.
Place it in the oven and stir
every 10 minutes. Repeat this 3 more times.
Take popcorn out of the oven and
when it starts to cool, break it apart into pieces.
Enjoy!

eat it, otherwise you'll get fat!
Ingredients:
2 bags of NATURAL microwave popcorn OR two batches of air popped
popcorn. Don't add any butter or salt!
1 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup real butter
Directions:
1. Pop the popcorn first, and try to scoop out any left over kernels
that didn't pop.
2. Measure butter and syrup into a medium sized sauce pan, make sure
it's big enough to contain at least double what you put in, it expands quite a
bit while your cooking
3. Stirring continuously, bring to a gently boil over medium heat.
Seriously, don't stop stirring!
4. The caramel is ready when it makes soft balls, about 280 degrees if
you have a candy thermometer.
5. drizzle half of the sauce over half of the popcorn, add the rest of
the popcorn and then the rest of the sauce. Mix well with a wooden
spoon. If you want less caramel, make more popcorn, if you want more
caramel, make less popcorn
6. Eat, enjoy, and post your opinion on the website!

Description:
Even if you're not a fan of Mexican food, you'll like these. Come
on--even MARINA likes 'em..... so you can tell I got this off my families
website.... anyway you guys could use HOT salsa to spice it up once they are
cooked!
Ingredients:
2lbs of chicken
10-12 flour tortillas
(taco, not burrito size)
14.5oz can diced tomatoes
4-6 oz. can diced green
chilies
1 cup sour cream
10.5 can cream of chicken
soup
grated cheese
Directions:
Dice chicken and cook in a frying pan. Add tomatoes and chilies and
let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Spread tortillas with sour cream. Spoon approx.
1/4 cup of chicken mixture onto each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Roll
tortillas and place in a 9x13 baking dish. Mix soup with a can of water and
pour over rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
This is a pretty 'plain' enchilada but I love them. Sometimes I throw
in black olives, mushrooms, green or red peppers, etc..
It's easy (and still yummy) to make a healthier version by doing the
obvious things...low fat/thin wheat tortillas, fat-free or lite sour cream, and
98% fat-free soup. I'm not a fan of reduced fat cheese but only using a little
of the real stuff helps out the calorie count.

Title: Cobb Potato Salad submitted by Moiya
Wood
Description:
from: Just a Pinch.....on line
This s my favorite potato salad dressing ever.
Linda's Notes:
I have been making potato salad for years. The dressing has always
been the same...delicious! One that every family member or friend would beg me
to make for occasions. Well, you heard the saying.."If its not broke, why
fix it"? In my case, If I have made something great, I want to make it
even better. Enjoy these wonderful tastes. Two "World" favorites tied
together. Potato Salad and Cobb Salad
Ingredients:
3 lb. red potatoes,
cubed, cooked and drained.
( I might do 4 lb.
instead next time)
1/4 c red onion, diced
salt and pepper, to
taste
Dressing
2 c mayonnaise
1/3 c sugar
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
Toppings:
1 c tomatoes
1 c bacon, fried and diced
1 c turkey breast or chicken breast, cubed
1 c hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced
1 c avocado, cubed

3. Add to serving bowl, for cleaner presentation.
4. Layer toppings accordingly from order listed above. Or to your
preference.
5. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes: Make sure not to over cook potatoes. Potatoes should be soft
but not mushy to point of falling apart.
Notes: Salad can be made day before, adding toppings next day. Stir
well before adding toppings.

Title: ButterHorns submitted by Moiya
Wood
Description:
This is a very old recipe that didn't really have any instructions.
Arta gave it to me a long time ago and I watched her make them.
She doesn't have the instructions either. I have just guessed at the
temperature and just watch them carefully as you don't want them to be
overdone. Then they get tough.
Ingredients:
2 c. scalded milk (just warm)
1 c. butter (margarine)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
2 Tblsp. yeast
5 1/2 c. flour
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in milk before adding the salt and the rest of the
ingredients.
Mix Let rise
Roll dough out into two rectangles
Spread with more butter.
Roll long end up like a jelly roll.
Cut like traditional cinnamon buns.
Press all butterhorns down with the palm of your hand so they all rise
equally.
Let rise.
Bake @ 350 degrees until a light browning occurs.
Ice and dip into cocoanut or nuts.

Sesame Noodle Salad (from
allrecipies.com)
"This amazing salad recipe was
given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry's
Markets in the Seattle area. I've added to the recipe a little -- so it's not
exactly the same... but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves
it! May also add diced chicken for a variation."
Ingredients
Original recipe makes 8
servings
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1/2 cup sesame oil (cut this
to ¼ c)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon hot chili oil – (Made my own - 1 c. oil and 1 tsp. red
pepper flakes – heated on low for 10 min.)
[Added a few drops of Sriracha
Sauce as I thought it needed a kick]
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired
1 green onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
Directions
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling
boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta,
and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic
vinegar, chili oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing,
then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or
cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.
