This plant was given to me by my Nashville brother on Christmas Day.
I am proud to say it is still alive and is blooming beautifully.
I have really enjoyed it in my kitchen.

Hershey Candy Bar Cake

Is this my favorite cake?... Yes, it is! I love to make this cake, and I love to eat this cake!!!!!! This has to be the easiest cake icing ever to both make and spread.   I sometimes use this icing on cakes without the candy bars.  This particular cake is made using a Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake mix  that I made following the directions on the box. The icing includes the following ingredients: 8 oz. softened cream cheese 1 cup confectioners sugar  1/2 cup sugar 8 oz. Container CoolWhip Mix together with a mixer until smooth. The icing goes on beautifully, then I shave one large 4.4 oz. Hershey bar and sprinkle all over the cake.  Refrigerate until ready to eat and refrigerate any left overs. I usually make this cake at Christmas, but this year I waited  and made it for my daughter’s 22nd birthday, which is today!   Wow, she was just a little girl when I started this blog, and this cake was...

Fried Apple Pies

So...I decided it was time to teach my daughter how to make fried pies.  Sadly enough...she is 13, and she had never before seen me make fried pies. There are several ways to make fried pies, but this is the way I was taught. I start by covering my dried apples with water and cooking over medium heat on the stove.  I use store bought dried apples.  When I was a little girl, we would dry our own. The apples will quickly plump up.  Put a lid on the pot and continue to check on them and stir.  You will want to cook them until they "mush up".  You may need to add more water as they cook. When the apples are ready, add sugar and vanilla to your taste.  I added about 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to these. While the apples are cooking, prepare the crust.  Measure and sift: 2 cups plain flour 1 teaspoon salt Cut in 1/2 cup Crisco Gently stir in 1/3 cup milk. Now comes the fun part. Prepare y...

This has become my most requested recipe. It is so easy to make. People like that it is a breakfast casserole minus the eggs. You will need:      2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 ounces)      1 pound sausage      8 ounces cream cheese      8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese First spread one package of crescent rolls out in a glass baking dish as follows.  Pinch seams closed. Then brown sausage in a skillet. Drain sausage. Place cream cheese in skillet and melt over low heat. (I know...this is the only time I have ever melted cream cheese.  Extra hint...low fat cream cheese will not work.) Add sausage to melted cream cheese and stir together. Spread mixture out on top of crescent rolls. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of sausage mixture and then top with second can of crescent rolls, pinching seams as well as you can. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm. Y...
