Hillman Family Recipes

I had this bread at my friend, Sarah Tidwell's, house in 2013.  It was so delicious and Scott asked me to get the recipe.  Artisan Bread in Five has the recipe and great step by step directions with pictures, which is very helpful the first few times you make this.  Time is the key to this recipe!  The dough stores in your refrigerator up to 2 weeks. We love to have it with soups.  When we do a Hansen Family Game Night at my house, I often cook a few loaves of these the day before and have guests bring whatever they want to put on the bread.  Last time, my brother-in-law Shawn said, "Can we cut the other loaves please?"  Win! 3 C lukewarm water (you can use cold, but the dough will take longer to rise) 1 T granulated yeast 1 T salt 6 1/2 C (2 lbs) all purpose flour Mixing the Dough (Do at least day before going to need the cooked loaf): 1. In a 5 or 6 quart bowl (I have used a 1.25 gallon ice cream bucket with a lid with a small hole poked in...

This is one of Scott's and my favorite date night dessert recipes.  It makes a great 2 serving delicious cake very quick in the microwave!  We got it from Cleobuttera .  I did rearrange the ingredient list so that I didn't have to wait for milk to come to room temperature. :D  She has great pictures for doneness as you get used to it. 3 T butter, melted  3 T whole milk (or other milk is fine) 1/4 C all purpose flour 1/4 C granulated sugar 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 t baking powder pinch of salt 1 smallish egg 1/4 t vanilla 1 oz chocolate, lightly broken up (I use Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, but you pick) 1 T water  (Optional: Cool whip or whipped cream, berries, ice cream) 1. Melt butter and then add the milk to the butter.  Save for later. 2. In a 2-cup capacity microwave-safe mug (or small bowl-see notes below), whisk together with a fork, the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. 3. Add t...

If you are looking for a soup with cheese, bacon, sausage, and some spinach, this is the one for you!  We love this one and enjoy the leftovers (perhaps when my kids actually try it, there won't be leftovers). It does use an Instant Pot, but I think it can be make easily on the stove. I got it from Pressure Cooking Today .  When a friend or neighbor needs a meal, this is great with some rolls.   6 slices of bacon, diced (or you can substitute crumbed bacon, like from Costco) 1 lb ground sausage (we use Hot to add some heat) 1 T butter 1 C onions, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed 3 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth, divided 1/2 t salt 1/2 t black pepper 1/8 t red pepper flakes 3 large russet potatoes cubed 3 T corn starch 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk 1 C parmesan cheese, shredded and divided 2 C fresh spinach, roughly chopped 1. Select [Saute] and add bacon to the pressure cooking pot. Cook until crisp and remove to plate lined with paper tow...

I have seen many different recipes for this (AKA Christmas Crack from my Provo neighbors the Grows). This is my favorite one and when I make it, Liam comes and sneaks some as it cools (ever since he was 2). I got it from Six Sisters Stuff . 1 (14 oz) box Rice Chex cereal (or generic Rice Chex equivalent) 1 (7 oz) bag sweetened coconut 1 (5 oz) bag slivered almonds (or whatever kind you like) 1 1/2 C sugar 3/4 C butter 1 1/4 C light corn syrup Dash of salt 1. Spray a large (the biggest you can find) bowl with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Pour in the entire box of Chex cereal, coconut, and almonds.  Gently mix together.  3. Mix together the sugar, butter, light corn syrup, and dash of salt in a medium saucepan over high heat. 4. Bring to a full boil, turn heat down to medium, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. 5. Pour over cereal mixture in the big bowl and stir evenly. 6. Spread cereal evenly on wax paper and let cool. 7. Store in airtight containe...

After having tried Indian food with my sister Lara, I was hooked and have loved eating it.  Scott and I love to eat at Bombay House in Provo, but we don't get to go often.  This recipe from " Favorite Family Recipes " is one that we enjoy eating (and making together) at home.  Serve with homemade naan or Costco mini naan and rice!
