Red Velvet Cake

I'm going to make red velvet cake, or possibly red velvet cupcakes. Love red velvet cake. love. Anyone else?

If you like Goldfish or Red Gold tomatoes..

If you are in Northern IL or Southern WI and you like Goldfish crackers, I've got a deal for you. :) Right now, Piggly Wiggly has Goldfish crackers, buy one, get one free. They are priced at $2.19, so they end up being 1.09 (and a half) each. AND, if you go to the Peppridge Farm website, they have a .75 coupon for original, pretzel or flavor blasted pizza flavored Goldfish. If your Piggly Wiggly accepts internet printable coupons, you can get two bags for .34 a piece!

Also, they have Red Gold diced tomatoes 4 for $2. Combine that with the $1 off 3 cans coupon and get 4 cans for a buck!

Moomie's buns

I had already planned to have hamburgers for dinner tonight, but didn't have any buns. I figured it was as good of a time as any to finally make Moomie's Buns which have been raved about on the Cooking Light message boards, as well as around the internet.

They are delicious! I had to sample them, of course.

Here is the recipe for you

Moomie's Buns
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 egg
3 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant yeast


INSTRUCTIONS
Place all ingredients in your bread machine. Select dough. Allow to run cycle.

Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces. With each piece, slap into a bun shape. Usually four or five slaps will do it. Place on greased cookie sheets or your bun pans, cover; rise about 30 to 40 minutes.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes till golden. Cool on wire racks.

Notes: I cut the sugar down to 2 Tablespoons.
