    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

      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.

    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

      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

      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.

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

    I agree with all of the positive replies. I check your blog frequently to look for more posts/recipes. You have the best recipes and a great writing talent; entertaining and enjoyable. 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.
I know . . . none of you ever do this!

When tart lemon and sweet blueberries merge together . . . magic happens!
Today, I spent a good portion of the day looking through a huge mountain of cookbooks. One of the perks that this blog has blessed me with, is an array of beautiful cookbooks that pop up at my door.

As one year ends and another begins, I want to thank you for sharing a little part of my life. This crazy baking blog is a happy space for me and getting to know you through comments and emails brightens my days. I appreciate the ideas you share, your subtle nudges for help and also those of you who just silently lurk behind the scenes. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, in and out of my kitchen.
I’m excited for a fresh new year and the opportunity to put stacks of saved recipes to the test. Time always seems limited, but hopefully the occasional knock at your door will still be welcome.

My wish for each of you in 2016, is peace of mind and a happy heart!

I thought it would be fun for you to see which 10 recipes were the most popular for 2015.

    Hi Jonna!! I had to comment as i laughed, when you tagged me in your last post as one of “those silently lurking behind the scenes”!! I just found your blog last year and we must have very similar taste because I have enjoyed more recipes from your site than any other. I know it’s a lot of work to blog but I sure hope you continue on! I have four children and our favorite recipe of yours for dinner is the chicken and green bean stir fry. I was shocked not to find it on the top ten but hey, it’s picture is on the home page! We love it and there’s not too many meals that I have found that everyone likes!! So thank you for that. There are a couple on your top ten list that I can’t wait to try. I am going to put my vote in for more main dish recipes in the future than desserts. (I’m not complaining one bit, just putting in my vote for the place I need most help)
    Have a very Happy New Year and thank you for the recipes!!!! Keep up the good work! 🙂ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - January 8, 2016 - 12:07 pm

      Hi Sharon!

      Thanks soooooo much for commenting. You made me laugh! We don’t eat out very often, so I do cook full meals every night. It’s difficult to post main dishes often, because we typically have our big meal at night. That seems to be the only time my husband is at home. To take pictures and post the process just doesn’t seem to happen very often, since I would have to do it earlier in the day or make him wait. He would most likely be happy to do so, but I’m picky about the setup of my picture process. Ha ha!
      I have so many recipes that I would like to share though, so I might just have to post the recipes and forget the pictures!
      I appreciate so much your “coming forward from lurking, even just for a moment and saying Hi!”

      Your comment sure made me feel good! Sometimes life throws a few curves, and hobbies have to be shelved for awhile.
      I hope I can get my act together and post again – more often. Thank you so much for warming my day.

Christmas . . . that magic blanket that wraps itself about us. That something so intangible that it’s like a fragrance!

Most of you probably think I’ve disappeared from recipe earth, but I’ve put on my apron and I’m not taking it off until January! (well maybe to shower)

I’m ready to heat up my kitchen and begin my holiday baking. I’ve stocked up on sugar, butter and flour for weeks now. I’ve also ramped up runs on the treadmill in anticipation of calories.
Ugg.

    I just tried the chocolate chip cookies. I rolled the dough into a log & it’s been sitting in the fridge for 2 days now. I couldn’t wait any longer….I sliced 6 of them, baked them, and ate all 6 of them. Now I’m going to have to slice & bake some more before my husband comes home from work. You completely nailed it on this one! Mercy sakes a live! SO good! I’m throwing out all of my other chocolate chip cookie recipes! Thank you so very much!ReplyCancel
