We had a sleepover last month with the youth girls from church and we made homemade pizzas. This is the dough we used and it's amazing! Enjoy!
1 cup water
1 tbls olive oil
2-1/2 bread flour
1 tbls sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
Put all above ingredients in breadmaker (IN THE EXACT ORDER LISTED) and turn on dough cycle. Once dough has finished, some at this point would say punch down and let rise again, but I'm not so patient for that. Just saying!

- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan or two 9-inch round cake pans and lightly flour, or spray with baking spray with flour.
- In large bowl, beat all cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan(s).
- Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan or 9-inch rounds. Cool completely.
- In chilled large bowl, mix cream cheese and milk until smooth. Beat in whipping cream and powered sugar with electric mixer on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until soft peaks form. Frost top of 13x9-inch cake or fill and frost cake layers. Store in refrigerator.
***Substitution
SuperMoist® butter recipe chocolate cake mix can also be used for this recipe. Use 1/2 cup butter in place of oil.
***Success
You will need the whole 1-ounce bottle of red food color to achieve the intense red color that is characteristic of this special cake.
***Variation
For a classic red velvet cake, add 3/4 cup buttermilk, reduce water to 1/4 cup and reduce oil to 1/4 cup. All other ingredients remain the same. (Do not use dark or nonstick 13x9-inch pan.)
Let me just say that this frosting is pure heaven. I think it's my new favorite from scratch frosting. Oh and I used more cream cheese for a more intense flavor and it was soooo... worth it.

Hurry Up Chicken Pot Pie!
I was craving some chicken pot pie (gotta love pregnancy hormones). But I didn't have a lot of time to whip something up to satisfy the craving. Well this is pretty close the "real" thing. And best part, you don't have to babysit it either! I do think that it was better the 2nd day (aka leftovers).
In a greased 2-quart casserole, layer the chicken, eggs, carrots, and peas. Mix the soup, chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Pour over the layers. Stir together the biscuit mix and milk, and pour this over the casserole. Drizzle butter over the topping. Bake until the topping is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

**When I made this it was kinda runny so I would suggest throwing some flour into the liquid just to thicken it up a bit. I don't like runny though, so it depends on your preference.
**I also used LOW SODIUM chicken broth cause me and salt don't like ea. other. I flavored mine with Paul Prudhomme's Salt free seasoning which is absolutely essential!
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced (I would say optional for me)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, optional
- 1 1/2 cups instant biscuit mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 stick melted butter
