Top five favorite Pinterest recipes!

 Who doesn't love pinterest! I have found some amazing recipes, crafts and decorating tips! Today I will share my top 5 recipes and any changes I made to them!

5.Biscuits 

I always double this recipe! They go so quickly in our house!

Your shopping list:
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup shortening ( trade this out for butter)
¾ to 1 cup milk (try with buttermilk!)
 
4.Fried Cabbage

Even if you hate boiled cabbage you will love this!

Your shopping list

1 medium head green cabbage, chopped loosely
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/4 large onion or 1/2 small to medium onion, chopped
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
( I also add a clove of garlic)

3.Olive garden Copy cat gnocchi soup

Funny story with this soup, the first time I made it I cooked the gnocchi in the soup instead of separate like directed. It came out super thick! My husband has now dubbed this potato gravy! Perfect meal for a southern boy!

Your shopping list:


cup chicken breasts, diced and cooked (I actually omit this)4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 quart half and half
1 14 ounce can chicken broth
1/2 cup celery, sliced
1/4 cup flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
16 ounce package gnocchi

2.Meatball stroganoff

Your shopping list: 

Frozen Italian style meatballs (1/2 oz each) (I use 26)
Extra virgin olive oil 1+ Tbsp - just enough to brown up the meatballs.  
2 cups beef broth
Seasoning:
kosher salt and black pepper to taste
dried herbs (probably at least 1 - 1 1/2 tsp each) - parsley, oregano, basil
2/3 - 1 cup sour cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Wide egg noodles

I also toss in 4 oz cream cheese to make this extra creamy!!

1. Cheesecake brownies 

These are dangerously delicious! Don't make if you are home alone! LOL

1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
