First I'd like to welcome you to my site. Here you will find an assortment of recipes, reviews on cookware, shopping ideas, and just about anything related to cooking.
I promise to post at least once a month or more. I welcome any questions that you have and will address them in a timely manner.
Holiday Cooking has begun. Looking for a Desert that Will have People Begging for the Recipe? Try this one. This is even for the one's who claim They Hate Pumpkin! Calorie content ? Just close your eyes and say "Tomorrow I will eat green beans".
Yummy Pumpkin Desert
15 oz. can pumpkin (real pumpkin-no mix)
3 eggs-beaten
1 small can of evaporated milk
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg
1 box butter cake mix
2 sticks of salted butter
1 cup of chopped pecans
--------------------------------------------
Topping (*HINT-Everyone loves this topping! My suggestion is to double the recipe and place it in another container)
8 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
1 regular size tub of cool whip
1 cup of confectioner's sugar,sifted
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Melt butter and set aside. Combine canned pumpkin, eggs, evaporated milk and spices.
Pour into a 9x12 greased rectangle pan. Sprinkle cake mix evenly on top of pumpkin mixture. Pour melted butter on top and then sprinkle the nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
Cool on rack.
Mix cream cheese, cool whip, confectioner's sugar and maple syrup. Spread on top of Pumpkin Desert. Add the nuts and more if you desire!
The minute you say, "Please help yourself", someone is going to take a Gigantic piece with a lot of topping or a small piece and a lot of topping. That's why I said you may want to double up on the topping recipe. Just remember to get your piece first. Voila-Enjoy!
Cookware Favorite of the Week
Each week I will post one of "My Favorite Cookware" that I use in the kitchen.
Today's Favorite is: The Kitchen Aid Mixer. *****star rating
I have had this mixer for 22 years and it is still going strong! Aside from it's durability, it performs well from handling whipped cream to bread dough. You can get this outstanding mixer at any quality department store such as Macy's, Penny's, etc. At Bed Bath and Beyond use their 20% coupon which you can get in the mail . Ask when the mixer will be on sale then use your discount coupon. Or you can go on line to www.amazon.com has great prices.
Super Walmart has the cheapest cream cheese, cake mixes, nuts, and maple syrup prices in my area. This is in comparision to Food Lion, Harris Teeters and "The Pig" aka Piggly Wiggly.
If you are close to a Farmer's market or an Amish market visit there for really fresh ingredients. Go early and unless you have a strong will power (which I do not), close your eyes to the pastries and the baked chicken wings at the Amish markets.
