A Moment in M.O.M.'s Kitchen- Flaky Biscuits

My dear Joe just loves a good breakfast! I have tried to convince him that healthy smoothies in the morning are a complete breakfast but he's not buying it! My Joe loves an 'old fashion, farm style breakfast'! Home made, Flaky, buttermilk biscuits are always part of his menu request. So, in honor of my Joe, today I share with you the biscuits that we enjoy here in our home. Enjoy!

8 Cups flour (I especially like to use 1/2 fresh ground wheat and the other part white flour)
1/3 Cup Baking Powder
2 Tsp salt
3/4 Cup Coconut Oil
4 Cup Raw goat/cow milk (I use whatever I have the most of on hand)

First mix all your dry ingredients then add your coconut oil until crumby. Add milk and mix being careful not to over mix. Roll out on a floured surface and cut out being careful not to twist the cutter (this seals the edges and keeps them from raising as large as they would normally). Place on a cookie sheet, I like to use my stoneware from Pampered Chef. A trick I learned from my momma is to place the biscuits close together, touching, so that they will rise 'up' instead of 'out' sideways. Bake at 450 for 10-15 mins.

Enjoy!

A Moment in M.O.M.'s Kitchen- Potato Soup

This recipe is a favorite and requested often after we take it to friends homes or events. Keep in mind that this recipe serves a large crew of hungry people!

Potato Soup

12-18 potato's pealed

6 hard boiled farm eggs

1 large onion chopped

2 lbs of bacon fried and crumbled into bite size pieces

1 Cup of butter

1/2 gallon or more of raw milk

Salt and Pepper to taste

Boil your potato's till soft but not too mushy then drain off most of the water and add whole fresh raw milk. Put in your onion, bacon, butter, salt and pepper. Heat this all up together breaking up your potato's but not mashing them up completely. Once the heat has returned to your desired temperature add your eggs. Serve while hot. If you save this for left overs keep in mind it will thicken up. Serve with a slice of cornbread and enjoy! 

A Moment in M.O.M.'s Kitchen- Cowboy Coffee Cake

This is a family favorite! All the little cowboys, and cowgirls, in your family are sure to enjoy this treat!  


Cowboy Coffee Cake


2 1/2 Cups flour
2 Cups brown sugar
1 tsp Salt
2/3 Cup Coconut Oil
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 Cup Raw Milk
2 Farm Fresh Eggs


Mix all dry ingredients first then add in your softened coconut oil until it is crumbly. Add the remaining wet ingredients then pour into a greased, fluted pan. I use the stone one offered by Pampered Chef many years ago. I don't sell for Pampered Chef however, they have provided many kitchen tools for our meal preparation needs! Cook in a preheated 375 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes. 

A Moment in MOM's Kitchen- Sarah-Grace's Fabulous Banana Bread

My kitchen holds some of my dearest memories of heart conversations shared between sisters, mothers, daughters, and granddaughters. Our kitchen is where our hearts are expressed through culinary arts. It is where the aprons hang awaiting the next adventure! Often when Momma comes for a visit it includes her sitting at the table with all us girls working on a scrumptious meal while teaching us recipes and tips that she was taught by her grandmother. The kitchen is one of my most favorite rooms in the house! 


This week I am going to post recipes from my kitchen, per the request of my dear and precious mother! I love you Momma! Enjoy! I hope everyone else enjoys the peek into my kitchen this week as well! 


Because of His Love,

Sarah-Grace's Fabulous Banana Bread


2 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Mashed Banana's (about 3-4 very ripe bananas)
3 Cups Whole Wheat (we use fresh ground flour)
3 Farm Fresh Eggs
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans


Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl, except for the nuts. In a different bowl mix your wet ingredients. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture one cup at a time. Stirring each cup in till it is nicely blended. Once you have combined all the ingredients together then mix stir the nuts into the batter.  Pour the mixture into two greased loaf pans. Then sprinkle some nuts on the top to make it pretty. 


Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 1 hour or until done. Our new oven seems to have them nicely done in 50 minutes. 




We grease our pans with just a little bit of coconut oil and use our stoneware that we purchased from Pampered Chef. We also use their templates for adding designs to the top of our loaves with powdered sugar. Sarah enjoys making these into muffins as well and decorating the tops of them. Note: if we are adding the pretty designs with powdered sugar we will omit the nuts on top of the loaf. This recipe will make two loaves, not nearly enough for our family our size so we often double it without any changes or complications in the recipe.
