Southern Praline Ice Cream Topping

2009-12-23T00:05:00.005-06:00

I made this for all my friends and family as Christmas gifts and let me tell you...This is the best stuff ever! You must make this for yourself and your loved ones. They will thank you for it. I got the recipe from: http://www.skiptomylou.org/?s=Praline&x=23&y=17

1 1/4 cups chopped pecans

7 Tablespoons butter (divided)

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

3 Tablespoons flour

3/4 cup light corn syrup

2/3 cup evaporated milk

Makes 3 cups of sauce.

Place chopped pecans in a microwave dish with 3 Tablespoons butter. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring twice. Watch the pecans closely to not burn them.

In another microwave safe bowl (I use a glass batter bowl because it has a lip for pouring) place remaining butter and heat until melted. Whisk in brown sugar, flour, and light corn syrup until blended. Cook on high 6-8 minutes, stirring twice, until the sugar is dissolved.

Add in 2/3 cup evaporated milk and the pecans, stir well.
Pour into jars.

Add a tag and bow and you have made some sweet little gifts! Consider packaging with a cool ice cream scoop to make it extra special. Put instructions on the back of the tag to keep sauce refrigerated and to reheat slightly in microwave to pour over ice cream.

Mom's Pot Roast

2009-01-05T15:02:00.002-06:00

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons parsley flakes
2 teaspoons Knorr seasoning for Beef
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt

I used water instead of wine because I don't drink wine.

The roast had a really nice flavor and it was so tender. The trick is not to peek at it and just let it cook.

Cake Balls

2008-12-19T20:09:00.008-06:00

Bake A Cake (Any Flavor) I like Duncan Hines. I don't use the recipe on the cake box. I use my own recipe. You can bake the cake according to the directions on the box and it turns out great. I just think this adds a little something extra.

Add 1 cup of water, 4 eggs, 1 pkg. Dream Whip, 1 teaspoon clear vanilla, 1 teaspoon clear butter. Beat for 4 minutes.

You can find Wilton's clear vanilla & clear butter at your local Walmart *in the baking section* or Michaels.

Bake at 325 for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Crumble With Fork
Add crumbled cake to a (big bowl) for mixing
Add A Can Of Icing (while cake is still warm)
Mix Together (stir with big metal spoon)
Roll Into Balls
Freeze For 30 Minutes Or So
Dip In Almond Bark
Drop Onto Wax Paper
Eat

I usually use 2 cake mixes and 1 can of frosting so they don't turn out too moist but, you could be smarter and just add half the can of icing. LOL! Duh. I use a teaspoon to measure how big the balls will be. I also use a teaspoon to roll them in the almond bark and lay them onto the wax paper with.

These can be served at room temperate or cold. I like mine cold.

These are really fun and easy to make.

1 cake mix will make about 40 balls.

Happy Baking!

The Kitchen Fairy Poem

2008-12-19T10:25:00.000-06:00

Searching for a kitchen to live in as she pleases,
It’s through tiny keyholes that this little Fairy squeezes.
She’ll hide amongst your china, until you turn your back,
But be careful of this Little Fairy, for mischief is her knack.
She watches pots boil over, distracting you with ease,
Changing your favorite recipes, if she so does please.
This Little Fairy can be sneaky - for when you think she’s gone,
You might spot her in the cupboards, early in the dawn.
Sometimes napping in your teacups, or wandering to and fro,
Making it her comfy home, and happy doing so.
Your kitchen will be cozy, the true heart of your home,
When visited by a fairy, you will never be alone.
