    yum!! This looks delicious! I’ve never heard of Danish junket…ReplyCancel

One of my favorite magazines of all time, is bake FROM SCRATCH.

Oh my heck . . . it’s loaded with the most beautiful, mouth watering pictures. If you can’t find inspiration and endless baking ideas after reading through it, then you must be dead!
It certainly inspires me to Get off my butt and BAKE.  It’s one of those magazines that you could never ever throw away. It feels like Christmas, when I open the mailbox and it’s arrived in all its glory.

The only other magazine that makes my heart race a bit is Magnolia. If I had to choose just one though . . . it’s hands down going to be the bake one. These feather light, delicious buttery rolls called my name!

    I didn’t see any baking temp. Or baking time…… They look delicious!ReplyCancel

      Hi Bonnie,

      I’m really sorry, I don’t know why that vanished!
      Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Baking time should be 20 to 25 minutes.

      Thank you,

It’s in the air . . . Can you feel it?  I sure can!

You know what I mean.  It’s that wonderful time of year when smiles are broader, laughter and kindness seem to take the place of frowns and everyday problems.

    Looks yummy! We love homemade pizza (my pizza stone may be one of my favorite kitchen tools) and I’m always looking out for a new crust recipe to try!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 03/24/2017 - 7:29 am

      Hi Melenie,

      I agree! I love my pizza stone as well. It’s one of the best investments you can make.
      This dough is such a winner and so easy to work with.

  • Nikki - 03/24/2017 - 3:29 am

    I love this! I have a newborn, and recently bought…dough in a can…So we could have homemade pizza! But if I followed this method, I’d be able to make the dough when I have time, and then I’d have dough ready in the fridge anytime!
    Thank you!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 03/24/2017 - 7:32 am

      Hi Nikki,

      Oh, you can definitly have perfect pizza at home, and a million times better than a can!
      The dough is so easy to whip up, and then make one now and save the rest of the dough for later.
      Scones are also so delicious with this dough.
      Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

Oh Valentine’s Day. How do I feel about thee?

Mixed.

I’ll explain, but before I do, some of you might want to grip a chair or chew on a pencil.

    I always thought that growing up was so hard! I would not ever want to be a child, or God forbid, a teenager again! I think we all have something from high school that we aren’t proud of, although I admit you had some moxie back then lol! Thanks for the great recipe round up too!ReplyCancel

    Ha 🙂 Now I can go back too the top and look at the yummy recipes! Fun story. Always the worst experiences as a kid make the greatest stories as a grownup! I thought heck, while you were cutting, why not wack off a few more inches! I am not a mean girl, just thinking. I’m curious, did she notice in class? Thanks for the story and recipes. Now let the grief of it all go and think of it as a good laugh. Maybe you taught Lou a life lesson! And a HAPPY Valentines Day to you today and forever.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 02/15/2017 - 10:11 am

      Hi Nancy,

      I’m sure others are wondering as well if she noticed. She did not! Lucky me. There was even snickering in the classroom from those few who did see it happen.
      She had burned many bridges with others, so nobody said a thing. I’m sure when she took out the ponytail, she was . . . “What the heck!”
      I’m sure she knew. She never bothered me again!
      Hope you all had a great Valentines Day.

      JonnaReplyCancel

I hope your homes are filled with Laughter and gratitude.

I pray that none of you are lonely or alone, but have the spirit of Love wrapped around you.

    What a great assortment of Christmas recipes! I made your Almond Joys last year and again this year. They have become a favourite and they’re one of the easiest to make. Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best to you and your family for 2017.ReplyCancel

  • Pat - 01/19/2017 - 9:38 pm

    Hi Jonna,

    I just came across a recipe page that I saved quite awhile ago. It’s for your peach caramel pie made in a skillet. I was going to ask this question back then, but the page ran off and hide in my computer until I came across it while cleaning stuff out. I really wanted to make this then, but I was afraid of what it would do to my mother’s skillet. It is very old and my prized possession. I use it all the time, but only for frying food and making cornbread. I’ve never put it water. Maybe I should just buy me one to make this sort of thing in. Please advise.ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 01/24/2017 - 6:34 pm

      Hi Pat,

      I would hate to steer you wrong, but I rarely put my cast iron in water. I use the salt technique to dry clean.
      I think in your case though, I might just buy me another to bake/cook with and hold on to your treasure!

Blogging is not like riding a bike . . . You can’t just get back on and start pedaling!
Why you ask?
You quickly forget how everything works!
It’s been waaaaaaaay too long.
I have to be honest, I almost talked myself into the delete button.

    So many things to say…

    So, I hope you do not quit. Frankly, I am sometimes overwhelmed by people who post daily and more. So I am ok with you being very sporadic. I don’t know what this costs you, so I get it if it’s just not worth the money. But I will print out several recipes that rank among my all time faves!! No lie!

    Next, my grandparents had a mountain house in Blowing Rock, NC growing up. My grandfather knew just how to wind his way up Grandfather Mountain and pull off at just the right spot to go huckleberry picking. We wore upside down gallon milk cartons around our necks. I have asked and asked (Dandy is long gone) and no one knows what I mean. If I could find a huckleberry spot again I would be in heaven!!ReplyCancel

My favorite all-time recipe from your blog is the orange yeast rolls. I have made them every Christmas and Easter since I discovered this blog when searching for a recipe like yours. Thank you! AND…DO NOT GIVE UP!ReplyCancel

It’s a rainy, chilly day today. I like the rain, it brings out the bread baker in me.
As I look over this blog, two of my favorites are these pull-a-part breads.
Oh so delicious, and fun to eat!

Easter is this weekend, and I should be posting something cute, something loaded with sugar and popping with bright colors.
Heck, there are certain kitchen drawers in this house that the family flocks too. They are pure sugar! Peeps, Cadbury eggs and a myriad of other Easter treats are scattered in these two deep drawers. ugh.

Today, I simply bring you some dinner . . .

Yum!

It’s not a secret that we love popcorn in this house.

We eat a lot of it!

Cheddar popcorn + Cinnabon popcorn + mixed together = fabulous.

      We are popcorn nuts as well. It’s a great snack as long as you don’t butter it and load it with salt!
      We have it around all the time, and we grab it first.
      Thanks so much and Happy Easter to you as well.

I am lucky in love.

It’s almost been 37 years, since I said ” I Do.”

I still like the sight of him. I still like the sound of him. I still like the touch of him. I still love all of him!

From time to time, I grab my phone and point to that P known as Pinterest. I’m just going to quickly browse, nothing more. Soon, I smack myself back to reality. I realize that an hour or more, has whizzed right by.

When tart lemon and sweet blueberries merge together . . . magic happens!
