A&T's Bierocks


Tony and I have finally found a meal we actually can both agree on and is our favorite - and we have fun preparing together. I'm pretty sure we've made bierocks 3 times in the past month, so it's time to share our delicious recipe with you since fall is around the corner!

Serving Amount:
8 (or if you're like our house, 4 servings)

Ingredients:
1 lb of hamburger meat or sausage, thawed
1/2 head of green cabbage, chopped
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. of celery salt
Salt and pepper to taste 
1 package of biscuits (8)
1 bag of shredded cheese (optional)
Flour 

Directions:  
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
2. Cook hamburger or sausage on medium heat in an uncovered skillet; drain. 
3. Add chopped onion and cabbage to the meat, cover, and cook on medium heat till cabbage and onions are soft.
4. While the mixture is cooking, roll out biscuits in a large circle (but not too thin). Use flour to prevent sticking to the counter.
5. Remove mixture from heat and spoon mixture on center of dough (amount is your preference; we eyeball it). Top with as much cheese as you'd like!
6. Pull up the sides of the dough around the mixture; pinch to seal. 
7. Place bierock pinch side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
8. Repeat process for remaining mixture and dough.
9. Bake for 18 - 22 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let cool for 5 minutes.
11. Enjoy! 


 


We like to serve green beans with our beirocks for a little extra filler, especially when we try to only eat one! If you like sauce with yours, try mustard. 

Try out our simple recipe and let me know what you think - I'd love to hear your feedback!

What I wore: the 3 c's.

Happy Monday! 

One thing I love about my company is we have the opportunity to dress in our own creative way so we basically wear what we want. Unless I have a client meeting, then obviously I put on a pair of heels and a pencil skirt or dress pants.

On days like today when my calendar is free, my go-to outfits include the three C's: cute, casual and comfortable. If I wear something simple like a solid tee (below), I pair it with a statement piece for a pop of color.  


Maxi Skirt: JCPenney
V-Neck Tee: Target
Bib Necklace: Ebay
Watch: Target

Here I am. Nice to meet you.

My goal for today is to finally launch my new blog site. This has been a work in progress and still is, so bare with me cause "here goes nothing"!

I'm just your average 20 something. I'm not perfect and far from it but I could say I've lived this life to my fullest ability so far. I've had my ups and I've experienced some downs, but they've made me who I am today.

The purpose of this new blog is to share with you my thoughts, experiences, favorite things, and life's lessons. Sort of like a road trip, I guess. Some trips you never know where you're going, or there may be bumps along the way, or it could of been the best time of your life. Regardless of the situation, we've learned to hold on and get through the storm with whoever is in the passenger seat. 

I'll leave with this simple phrase below. Don't worry, the rest will come soon.
