Don't have buttermilk? For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup. Stir the ingredients together and let rest for 5 minutes.

Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts

June 4, 2016 By Taylor Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts 2

 

Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts | This Is Why I’m Full

Alright, let me tell you about one of my new favorite recipes: Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnuts! These fried (or baked) goodies were so delicious that I can’t wait to make them again and bring them to a potluck at work (or anywhere), I love sharing the food we make and I’m especially excited about this one!

There are two different recipes below, and while the results are the same either way you make them, the difference in ease is massive! The Hubby and I have made both types, from scratch and from cake mix and they both tasted amazing! The second recipe calls for only three ingredients, how awesome is that?! So if you need to make them in a hurry you only have to worry about having three ingredients in your home, and I have included different ways to cook them, just because I prefer fried food doesn’t mean that everyone does!

If you have a weekend morning to yourself, and want to make something homemade to impress your friends/family go with the first recipe, the ingredient list is longer, but I like making things, so this recipe is a lot of fun! (Plus who doesn’t love the feeling of making something from scratch!) And if you need something quick, for unexpected company or a bake sale you forgot about, a three ingredient recipe is always a winner!

When it comes to dropping the batter into your oil/fryer there are a lot of ways you can go about it, you can follow my recipe and use a Ziploc, but that can get messy, so the Hubby and I found a better way about halfway through the cooking process, use and ice cream scoop. Not just any ol’ Ice Cream Scoop
either, give our favorite a try. We think you will love it as much as we do!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

January 15, 2016 By Taylor Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Spice Latte 2

Pumpkin Spice Latte | This Is Why I’m Full

Alright, here’s the deal, this Pumpkin Spice Latte is better than the Starbucks version for a lot of reasons, the main one being the price. But there a lot of other reasons, the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes so artificial because the syrup/latte mix that they use IS artificial, it is made with Pumpkin flavoring, which has its place, true. However when it comes down to it that artificiality makes it even worse for you than it would be making it at home. And as far as I’m concerned I would much rather know exactly what I’m eating or drinking than be in the dark about exactly how much sugar is in my drink!
I’m not going to tell you that making this Pumpkin Spice Latte will replace your love of Starbucks, it does take a bit of time to make the syrup, but when you look at the overall benefits to making your coffee at home why not take the extra time on the weekend and make up some Pumpkin Spice syrup.
The main benefit to having this recipe in your repertoire is that you can make it year round, you don’t have to stop drinking Pumpkin Spice Latte’s when Starbucks takes them off of the menu, you can have an iced Pumpkin Spice Latte in the middle of the summer if you want! And who doesn’t long for a taste of Fall when it’s 106 degrees outside? (Obviously I would recommend making iced, hot coffee in the summer is too much for me!)

Crock Pot Bear Chili

April 17, 2015 By admin@thisiswhyimfull.com Leave a Comment

So last year I happened to get a bear while hunting. We froze a ton of the meat in steaks, and decided this would be a great time to have some unique chili recipe! This chili came out pretty thick, which Taylor and I like about our chili. Our recipe for Crock Pot Bear Chili recipe was a bit spicy because we used Jalapeno black beans along with red beans. We also top our chili off with a fresh ground pepper when we go to serve it. We coupled this chili with our Homemade Cornbread recipe to soak up all the juicy bits at the end of the bowl.  So if you’re looking for a new spin on a classic chili, and can find bear or have some from your own hunt then give this a try. People don’t expect it when you tell them it’s bear they’re eating.

White Chicken Chili

March 10, 2015 By admin@thisiswhyimfull.com Leave a Comment

#chicken #chili

This is something my dad used to make all the time when I was a kid, and it’s still one of my favorites! My baby brother was very picky when we were younger and one of the things he hated most, and still doesn’t really like, is ground beef. Which is the main ingredient of regular chili, so my brother would NEVER eat it. But the rest of us loved chili, and my dad came up with this recipe so that my brother would eat something other than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and chicken nuggets. Needless to say it was a huge hit and my family still eats it once every few weeks at home. Anyway, husband I were making up the weekly meal plan and I told him that I really wanted chili but all we ever make is red chili so I called my dad and got this recipe from him! Dan absolutely loved it and while it was delicious, my dad’s is still better, I need to make it a lot more before it’s up to his standards!

Jalapeno Black Bean Chili

Jalapeno-Black-Bean-Chili

Jalapeno Black Bean Chili|This Is Why I’m Full

So I’m pretty excited about this Jalapeno Black Bean Chili, it was the most delicious chili I’ve ever eaten, and that’s saying a lot because my Dad makes some pretty fantastic steak chili! Dan and I were at the grocery store trying to decide what we wanted to make for dinner last week and I suggested chili. We had talked about making chili all winter, he wanted to make it with bear since he got one while hunting last November, but it never worked out to where we were able to get some of the meat from his dad so we gave up.
Anyway, we decided in the middle of the store that chili sounded wonderful and then proceeded to find things to put in chili… Neither of us had ever made chili before so it sounded like a fun experience! As we were walking around trying to figure out what goes in chili other than ground beef, beans, and seasonings I found black beans with jalapenos and I grabbed some and from that point it was pretty much decided that this wasn’t going to be like any chili my dad would make.
I grabbed the other stuff we ended up putting into our chili and the rest is history! We made it on a Saturday, and even though it was almost 100 degrees outside it turned out amazing! I was so proud of my Husband and I, it had just the right amount of heat and the sour cream we put in it made it even better!
