Homemade Whipped Cream

Some Fridays my husband and I go out for dinner. This past Friday we stayed in and I made supper (Hamburgers, Potatoes & Onions in Foil) and a delicious pumpkin pie. We both love pumpkin pie and that is the one pie that I can make than never goes to waste. We eat every last crumb!

My pumpkin pie recipe is here.

I can never have pumpkin pie without wanting whipped topping. Normally I would buy a bowl of that frozen non dairy topping in the grocery store, but true to form... I didn't want to GO TO THE STORE! (What else is new?) I also remembered that I had a carton of whipping cream left from making my Ditch the Box Cheesecake. I haven't made homemade whipped cream a whole lot but I didn't remember there being very much to it.

I didn't really use a recipe. I whipped some cream, added a couple of small spoons of sugar, enough vanilla to fill the lid from the vanilla bottle, and called her good! Wow! Talk about things I will never buy again! Whipped cream is now added to the list. This stuff is so delicious you could eat it by the spoonful! You could probably decrease the amount of sugar you use. Certainly I don't think it needs much. What better way to top fruit, homemade pudding, or perfect pancakes than real cream sweetened a bit and whipped to fluffiness!

Here's my basic recipe for making Homemade Whipped Cream AT HOME MY WAY:

Homemade Whipped Cream

Ingredients:

1 cup whipping cream
3 Tablespoons sugar (I used less)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Using a mixer, whip the cream, adding the sugar one spoonful at a time, and vanilla, until peaks form, and the cream holds it shape.

Store in the refrigerator, covered.

Best Dill Pickles EVER! (Just like Claussen) (Easy - no canning!)

Do you want to make the best, easiest homemade dill pickles in the world? I found a recipe for dill pickles that tastes JUST LIKE Claussen refrigerator pickles. Those are the best anyway, right? That crunch, the dill and the garlic... and oh yea , the crunch! This recipe is super easy because you don't have to process these pickles which means there is no canning needed. You just fill a gallon jar (we use an old pickle jar) with fresh cucumbers and dill heads, and then pour over the cooled liquids/seasonings. Let it sit on the counter for three days, and then refrigerate. After that, the pickle eating begins. They are supposed to keep for one year like that in the fridge, without canning. (We let them sit for the 3 days, then refrigerated them overnight before opening the jar for the much anticipated first taste. Did they taste like Claussen? YOU BET YOUR PRETTY PICKLE THEY DID! We were all SO ex...

Buttermilk Biscuits - Just like Cracker Barrel!

RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how we make Buttermilk Biscuits AT HOME MY WAY: Buttermilk Biscuits (just like Cracker Barrel) (Makes about 8 biscuits.) PRINTABLE RECIPE HERE Ingredients: 2 cups SELF RISING flour (self rising flour gives the perfect taste to homemade biscuits) 1/3 cup shortening (cold real butter also works here) 1 1/4 cup buttermilk* *NOTE: (If using regular milk combined with lemon juice vinegar referenced below, you only need 1 cup of milk because thinner regular milk uses less by volume than the thick real buttermilk.) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Make sure your flour is "fluffed" not straight from the bag; Dump it in a larger container and stir using up and down motion to fluff it up a little bit-THEN measure out 2 cups). Measure 2 cups SELF RISING flour into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut it until small and crumbly. A fork works fine for this purpose ...
