Pumpkin Spice Cake ~ recipe

I made a cake this weekend, it turned out really good, everyone loved it so I want to share it with you.

It's so easy to make, just TWO  ingredients!

Just a box of cake mix and a 15 oz can of 100% pumpkin.

Bake at 350degrees about 30 -35 minutes.

And it turns out like this. You can make muffins too or cupcakes!

I whipped up 2cups heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup confectioners sugar and made a topping. I then drizzled caramel over the top and sprinkled cinnamon over it. It was so good!

  But I didn't wait for it to cool so this is what happened! Went right off the cake.

It always pays to wait for better results!

So I waited for it to cool and and tried again, 

it taste the same, but looked better or at least stayed on the cake.

You can make it with a yellow cake mix, but I like it spicy!

Have a Blessed Autumn Day!

Slaw Recipe

Have you ever had a recipe that you loved but somehow you hadn't made it in months or years, and you wonder why?

That happened to me last weekend. We were having a picnic at a local lake and I said I would bring the slaw. Well the temperature was in the 90's and I thought mayonnaise might not be a good idea. Then I remembered I had a recipe for Marinated Cole Slaw. Have you ever tried it?  It is really good. Here's the recipe.

  1 large head cabbage, graded thin slices

2 med. onions, cut small (optional)

1 large bell pepper, cut small pieces

1 finely chopped carrot

mix together and sprinkle 3/4 cup sugar over mixture and let stand.

Bring to boil for 5 minutes, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 Teaspoon salt, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed, 1/2 cup veg. oil.  Pour over cabbage while still hot, stir let stand for 24 hours in refrigerator.  Serve and enjoy.

 My girls had forgotten that they liked it.  I'll be making it again soon to take to my sisters for our family get together on Sept.6th. Maybe even more now that I have remembered that I love it!

Have a Blessed Day!

Pioneer Woman's Meat Loaf ~ Recipe & Review

I had ALL my children and grandchildren for Sunday Dinner yesterday, yes ALL 14!  My daughter loves Meat Loaf  but her husband doesn't..she ask me to make meat loaf...so I did, but made her hubby two burger patties and brown gravy.  It isn't easy making a meal for that many people, especially since half of them doesn't like the same things.  I really feel like "Grandma's Restaurant" sometimes when they all want different things. My daughter,Gina, came to the rescue and bought KFC chicken strips..That made the children happy.

This is the meatloaf that I made.

If you haven't watched The Pioneer Woman  on Food Network

then you are missing some Good recipes'.  This was the first time I have made meat loaf by this recipe, and it was so good.  It was juicy and tender. It is wrapped in bacon, yes, I didn't get it wrong, Bacon!  I think that's what made it so juicy along with all the other ingredients that I would never thought to put in a meatloaf.   You can find the recipe here.  I hope you'll give it a try. You'll be happy you did!

Have a Blessed Day!
