When you just want to make a little bit of bread for one person.
I made this with just one cup of flour, half a cup of water, yeast, about a teaspoon of sugar and some salt. Let it rise, give it a Little bit of kneading or not. I chose to make it into three rolls and I put it in a greased 6 in cast iron to rise for about another hour. Baked it at 375 for approximately 30 minutes. But check it at 20 or 25 to make sure it's browning to your likeness

Strawberry Pie: A Deliciously Fresh and Fluffy Dessert
A creamy, buttery crust cradles a luscious strawberry filling balanced with a touch of sugar and lemon. Finished with light whipped cream, this classic American pie is perfect for gatherings or a comforting dessert.
Ingredients
For the Pie Crust:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 cold egg yolk
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For the Strawberry Filling:
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream Topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and granulated sugar. Add chilled, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold egg yolk and mix well. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough holds together. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C) while the dough chills.
Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a surface and roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trim edges, and poke holes in the bottom with a fork.
Bake the Crust: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Transfer to the baked crust.
Chill and Set: Add a domed lid (if desired) and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Make the Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Assemble and Serve: Spread whipped cream on top of the set pie and slice.
Notes
Chill dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling for best results. Substitute fresh strawberries with frozen, thawed varieties if necessary. Optional: Add a pie lid or use a lattice top. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This was a hard day for me. Still not feeling well but needed to make my chicken veggie soup. It's my standby. I keep serving size containers in the freezer for the days I need them. It's a process that takes a lot of time. First I boil a couple chicken drumsticks, remove and get the meat off, then simmer a chopped up chicken breast and remove it after about 10 minutes. Then to the broth I add parsley, Montreal chicken seasoning, sage or poultry seasoning and a little salt. Simmer a few minutes then add chopped carrots, celery and stir fried onions and half a package of frozen mixed veggies. When the carrots are tender I add green beans and all the meat, give it a stir and usually simmer about 20 minutes then turn off the heat.
Well as I mentioned I had a hard day and forgot to turn the heat off. About an hour later I realized it was still cooking and expected to have a big kettle of veggie mush but it isn't mushy. Thank goodness. It's cooling now so I can refrigerate it. Maybe I'll try some for supper?

party sliders officially changed the game the moment people discovered hawaiian rolls could transform random leftovers into ridiculously addictive pull-apart sandwiches 😭🥪🔥

there’s just something illegal about soft buttery rolls stuffed with melty fillings and baked until shiny on top 😂 one tray disappears in minutes while everyone pretends they only grabbed “one.”

and the second cream cheese enters the conversation? it’s over 😮‍💨✨

🥒 cucumber everything cream cheese sliders taste like a deli bagel sandwich melted into soft buttery bites with cool cucumber crunch and savory everything seasoning.

🍖 hot honey ham cream cheese sliders are packed with salty ham, creamy chive spread, buttery toasted rolls, and bubbling cheese baked until golden and glossy.

🦃 turkey ranch cheddar sliders bring creamy ranch filling, smoked turkey, sharp cheddar, and soft sweet rolls together into pure comfort food magic 🤤

🥓 bacon cheddar ranch sliders are dangerously good with crispy bacon, melted cheddar, creamy ranch filling, and buttery tops loaded with seasoning flakes 😭🔥

the lineup:
✨ king’s hawaiian rolls
✨ philadelphia cream cheese
✨ everything bagel seasoning
✨ turkey breast
✨ honey ham
✨ crispy bacon
✨ cheddar cheese
✨ ranch seasoning
✨ melted butter

the move:
keep the rolls connected and slice them in half horizontally. spread cream cheese mixtures across both sides, stack on meats, cheeses, cucumbers, or bacon, then place the tops back on. brush with melted butter, cover with seasoning, and bake until the tops turn glossy and the inside turns perfectly melty 😍🥪

these are the trays people hover around in the kitchen pretending they’re “waiting for them to cool” while secretly eating half the pan 👀🔥
