I need to try this...

It's supposed to clean just about any pot/pan you have....

1/4 cup of baking soda in a small glass bowl and squirt in hydrogen peroxide until it makes a nice paste.  

Citrusy Almond Biscotti

3 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/3 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange liqueur or orange juice

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 cup whole almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped or sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350°F.

 Line baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl.

 Mix sugar, melted butter, 3 eggs, vanilla extract, orange liqueur/juice and zest in large bowl. 

Add flour mixture to egg mixture and mix until well blended. 

Stir in almonds.

It helps to place dough in the fridge for a half hour or so if it's soft.

Divide dough, using floured hands, shape each section into 13 1/2-inch-long, 2 inch-wide logs. 

Place onto prepared baking sheet, spacing apart 2 logs on one sheet.

Bake logs until golden brown (logs will spread), about 25 minutes.

Cool logs completely on sheet. Maintain oven temperature.

Using serrated knife, cut logs on diagonal into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Arrange slices, cut side down, on same baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Turn biscotti over; bake until just beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.

Recipe

I'm always looking for easy and quick recipes that I can bring into work or use for gatherings. This looks versatile - think I might try it with some veggie sausage... 

Breakfast Sausage Ring 

1 roll of bulk Jimmy Dean sausage (any flavor)
2 7.5 oz cans of Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Brown sausage in frying pan, drain. Open one can of biscuits and flatten each biscuit into larger circle. Place in bottom of greased bundt cake pan, overlapping each biscuit so that it makes a ring around bottom of pan.

Top biscuits with 1 cup of shredded cheese, next place cooked sausage on top of cheese then top sausage with remaining 1 cup cheese. Open second can of biscuit dough and flatten out each biscuit, repeat placing dough around the top of bundt pan so it looks like a ring.

Cook for 25 min or until golden brown. Let sit in pan for 5-10 min before inverting onto a plate. Slice and serve. This makes a gorgeous centerpiece for a breakfast buffet!
