Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes

Fluffy and light. We made big restaurant style ones, 8 inches across, but i'm sure they'd be great normal sized too!

2 cup flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs
3 Tbsp butter, melted
Blueberries

Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stir to combine. Melt a little butter over medium-medium high heat. Pour batter on griddle (or skillet), sprinkle blueberries on top. Cook till bubbles on top pop but do not fill back in. Flip and cook till browned on bottom side. Serves 6-8.

Harding Family Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is Klane's mom's recipe and it is the best best best.

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-3 ¼ cups flour
1 bag milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)

Pre heat oven to 375. Cream the sugars and butter together. Add eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt and vanilla; mix together. Add flour gradually, mixing with a wooden spoon. (You may not need all the flour.) Then add the chips. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Never, I repeat, never overcook cookies. What a shame. For soft deliciously baked cookies, take them out when the tops just barely barely are the tiniest bit browned in spots. They don't look quite done but they will be perfect.

Sweet Onion Green Chile Chicken Quesadillas

Klane had to work late tonight. This was ready in 30 minutes, which was perfect! It reminded me of a sweet onion something I've had at Bajio before.

1 tbs olive oil
salt, pepper and dash sugar to taste
1 onion, sliced
1 4 oz can diced green chiles
8 flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
shredded colby jack cheese
lettuce, tomato, avocado, sour cream, salsa, etc

Heat olive oil over med-high heat, saute onions with salt, pepper and sugar till onions are browned and caramelized. Add chiles as desired (you may not want to use the whole can), then add chicken and heat through. Put chicken mixture and cheese between two tortillas and cook over medium heat till cheese is melted, flipping so both sides are slightly browned. Top with toppings and enjoy!

Swedish Meatballs

Meatballs:
1 lb. ground beef
½ cup bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 small onion, finely chopped (or grated on a box grater)
A few drops Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper

Sauce:
1 can cream of mushroom soup
milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix ingredients for meatballs in a medium-size bowl. Form bite-size balls and place on nonstick baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, heat soup over med-med/high heat. Stir in milk as needed to thin it to a sauce consistency. Add a few drops of Worcestershire if you like. Serve sauce and meatballs over rice or egg noodles.

Reserve half the meatballs for a later meal, or add another can of soup to make enough sauce for all of them.

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 ¼ cup of flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup of walnut pieces

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large mixer, cream butter, peanut putter, sugars and vanilla. Add the egg and mix until light & fluffy. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt - mix thoroughly. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring continuously. Add chocolate chips and combine. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough on the baking sheet and press the center of the cookie with a fork. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Deliciously moist and very addictive.

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used sour cream, they were great)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about two bananas)
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. (Note: I substituted 3/4 cup wheat flour for 3/4 cup of the white flour and the result was fantastic.) In another bowl, combine the egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
