Buttermilk Poppy Seed Bread

Remember the blueberry bread I made?

Our friend was over and he kept talking about how good it smelled and kept asking if I was baking it for him?

The answer to that was, "NO!"

But then I started to feel sorry for him.

So I baked him a loaf of breakfast bread.

But I didn't have anymore fruit to do the blueberry bread . . .

. . .and I wasn't going to the store just for some blueberries.

So I made this instead.

It was equally as easy.

It smelled just as good baking!

I think this is a keeper too!

Buttermilk Poppy Seed Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 teaspoon extract (butter, almond, lemon, vanilla . . . your choice)

2 tablespoons poppy seed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare one loaf pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening and dust with flour.

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, extract of choice, and poppy seed; whisk together until well blended. Add flour mixture; stir just until blended.

Pour batter in the loaf pan. Bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove pan from oven and let cool about 15 minutes.

Slice and enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! Especial
