Fry Bread, Korean Beef Short Ribs, Chicken Bakes, Cauliflower Soup

Fry Bread:
3 1/2 C Warm Water
3/4 C Sugar
1 C Oil (I used Veg)
2 T Yeast
---mix in mixer and let set 15 minutes
3 Eggs
1 T Salt
10 1/2 C Flour
---Add these to mixer ingredients.

Pull apart small pieces and roll/stretch out on a floured surface until desired thickness. Fry in hot oil on stove top (I used Veg oil) until light brown on both sides (flipping of course).

**My husband and kids LOVED the fry bread....and not even for the tacos... They enjoyed slathering them with margarine and topping them with honey.**

1/4 C Green Onions
1/4 C Tamari (msg free soy sauce)
1/4 C Beef Broth
1 T Brown Sugar
2 tsp Minced Garlic
2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
--mix above and place in crock pot for 7 hours
--remove meat from crock pot...separate it from the bone
--add 2 tsp sesame oil to crock pot & replace boned/chopped meat...cook for 30 minutes

**I found the juices VERY fatty and tried to avoid them when topping my rice with the meat mixture. My husband, kids and mother (who was visiting) enjoyed the meal.**

White Bread / Chicken Bakes:
1/2 C Warm Water
1 1/2 T Yeast
1 T Sugar
--mix in a small container and set aside
1 C Boiling Water
1/3 C Oil
1/6 C Sugar
2 tsp Salt
--mix in stand mixer w/bread dough attachment
1 1/4 C Cold Water
--add to mixture in stand mixer
Add Yeast mixture to stand mixer
3 C Flour
--Let mixture rise 1/2 hour IN mixer
3 1/2 C Flour
--Knead for quite a while until it looks right - about 5-10 min
Remove dough from mixer bowl and place into a large dish that has been greased with Veg oil to prevent sticking. Let rise at least 1 hour.

**Chicken Bakes take 1 8oz pk of cream cheese, a dollop of sour cream, some green onions, & some garlic, about two cooked chicken breasts cut into chunks - Mix it and place a plop of it in the middle of a flattened ball of dough & fold dough over it covering it completely. Place dough (seam side down) on an oiled cookie sheet. Cook 350 for 25-ish minutes until done.**

This bread recipe will let you make ONE loaf of bread and about 10 Chicken Bakes. I cook the Chicken Bakes first to eat with dinner and while we are eating I bake the loaf of bread for roughly 30 minutes in the 350 degree oven.

**I make this bread at least once a month over the winter months. I freeze one loaf and we munch on the other. We LOVE the bread! The chicken bakes are okay on occasion, but aren't our family favorite.**

Cauliflower Soup (Zupas Wisconsin Cauliflower Soup):
Please see this website for the recipe: http://just-cook-already.blogspot.com/

**We liked this soup a ton, but we thought it needed some chunks. I would recommend this as a base with chunks of potato and celery in it...maybe some carrots to give it an extra zing. My husband thought it would be great with some broccoli in it too.**
