Well rather, she made the dough and we cut it out and decorated it. I think she had the good end of the deal--make the dough and eat the cookies! Dad liked to help decorate the cookies, especially the gingerbread men, as I remember it. This recipe comes fromfrom the Scovil Bakery in Nauvoo, Illinois.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 cup sugar</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 cup molasses</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">3/4 cup oil or lard</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1/2 cup hot water</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">2 eggs</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 teaspoon soda</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 heaping teaspoon ginger</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 teaspoon cinnamon</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">2 cups whole wheat flour</span></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">4 cups white flour</span></p><ol data-rte-list="default" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgb(79, 79, 79); letter-spacing: 0.30000001192092896px; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"><li style="counter-increment: rte-list 1; counter-reset: rte-list 0; list-style-type: none; word-wrap: break-word;"><p style="margin: 0.5em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Combine, sugar, molasses, and oil.

This one is especially moist and perfect. I found it in the Worldwide Ward Cookbooks...Mom's best recipes. It is called Anna's Banana Nut Bread, but I usually leave the nuts out of bread recipes. In the recipe, it says, "My friend calls this 'gourmet' banana bread because it is so moist and flavorful."<br />
<br />
<br />
1 c. sugar<br />
1/2 c. butter<br />
2 eggs<br />
3 bananas, mashed<br />
1/4 tsp. salt<br />
1 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1 Tbsp. warm water<br />
2 c. flour<br />
3/4 c. walnuts, chopped<br />
<br />
Cream margarine or butter and sugar toether. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in mashed bananas, mixing well. Add salt. Stir in baking soda and warm water mixture, stirring well. Mix in flour and stir in nuts. Put batter into two small well-greased loaf pans. Bake at 325 for 45-50 minutes or until loaves test done with a toothpick. Cool on wire rack. When cool, wrap in aluminum foil. Makes 2 small loaves.Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-53083595546782862252011-11-23T17:42:00.001-08:002012-11-11T13:21:05.139-08:00Sheffer Green JelloKyle doesn't ask for a lot on holidays.

Zucchini Crisp<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have ever grown zucchini, you know that overnight your perfectly sized zucchini can morph into a monster-sized squash. When they are that big, the seeds are huge and you can't resort to the normal methods of cooking. This recipe is a great way to use these gargantuan zucchini from your garden, and it is one of Kyle's specialities. </span><br />

Then do carrots, onion and end with potatoes to soak up color and onion flavor. Put carrots and onions into water. Once it’s hot add potatoes bay leaf, bouillon and garlic. Then add beets. After they’ve cooked a while if you’ve cut them similarly you should not be able to tell carrots from potatoes etc. Add cabbage toward end otherwise it will disintegrate, but make sure it is soft before serving.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Notes:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">I'd use a little 8 oz can of plain sauce (be careful they've starting adding all sorts of stuff to those little cans of tomato sauce and I always accidentally get one with basil or something). If you taste it and it seems to be lacking tomato then add some more. (I bet that's helpful--sorry I can't be more precise)<br />
I's say 12 cups of liquid either water and beef boulioun or beef broth.<br />
<br />
Consider this a rough draft of a recipe. I meant to update it after I made it but I didn't. Soup is forgiving though.<br />
<br />
And of course the sour cream is put in each bowl when it's served not mixed into the pot. </span>Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-61728818917739665602011-08-07T16:46:00.000-07:002011-09-18T16:57:21.253-07:00Chocolate Chip Cookies(From <i>Betty Crocker Kids Cook!</i>)<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 egg<br />
1/2 cup granulated sugar<br />
1/2 cup packed brown sugar<br />
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (softened)<br />
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt (only use a pinch when using salted butter)<br />
1 cup chocolate chips (or add toffee bits or white chips and cranberries, or...)<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Heat oven to 375. Mix egg, sugars, and butter. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips. Will be a very thick dough/batter. Mush into balls and put on cookies sheet (UNgreased). <br />
<br />
Bake 10 - 12 minutes until starting to get very light brown in spots. Makes 24 cookies.<br />
<br />
Can pre scoop and freeze. Just bake an extra minute or so.<br />
<br />
Kyle has eaten these cookies a few times and raves about how good they are each time. Most recently, Eva made these for the ward party and Kyle said they tasted like "heaven in my mouth." Same recipe, but with white chips. Super easy and super yummy ;) ENJOY!Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-9809249207764966752011-07-14T21:02:00.000-07:002011-09-12T12:04:46.637-07:00Our Favorite CookiesWhen we got married, we received quite a few cookbooks. Of all of those recipes in all of those books, this is by far the recipe that we use the most. It is Nestle<a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/31991/Good-For-You-Choc-Oat-Chip-Cookies/detail.aspx"> Good for you Choc Oat Chip Cookies</a>. We have made a few slight variations to make them even healthier...and yummier.<br />
<br />
<br />
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour (or substitute whole wheat flour--half white/half wheat seems perfect and not whole wheat tasting)<br />
1 t. baking soda<br />
1/2 t. salt<br />
1/2 t. ground cinnamon<br />
1 1/4 c. packed dark brown sugar (light works just fine)<br />
1/2 c. granulated sugar<br />
1/2 c. (1 stick) margarine or butter<br />
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce (try 3/4 c. applesauce and 1/4 c. butter...you won't notice the difference)<br />
2 egg whites<br />
1 T. vanilla extract<br />
2 1/2 c. quick or old-fashioned oats<br />
2 c. chocolate chips (or butterscotch chips...those are our new favorite for these cookies)<br />
1/2 c. nuts, optional (we never do this)<br />
<br />
Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in small bowl. Beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and applesauce in large mixer bowl. Beat in egg whites and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto greased baking sheets.<br />
<br />
Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 9 to 10 minutes for a chewy cookie or 12 to 13 minutes for a crispy cookie. Let stand for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. About 120 calories and 5 grams of fat per cookie.Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-5810465759575016812011-06-26T20:12:00.000-07:002011-09-12T12:05:04.713-07:00Onionless Santa Fe SalsaYou see, I have this friend who kinds spends a lot of time at my house. In fact, we eat together quite a bit. Problem is, she can't eat onions. So I have been on a quest for finding yummy ways to make foods without onions. I made salsa yesterday that actually tasted an awful lot like it had onions in it, but it didn't. And I have to say it was about the tastiest salsa I have had in a long time. If I do say so myself. I happened to use <a href="http://www.kumato.com/en/Kumato.aspx">kumatoes</a>, but I don't feel like that is integral to the flavor of the salsa. I didn't measure amounts, I made the salsa to our liking and tasted it a lot along the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomatoes, diced (I always keep all the seeds and juice, personal preference for ease and we don't mind the liquid)<br />
Canned corn, drained<br />
Black beans, drained<br />
Green chile (medium or hot)<br />
Fresh cilantro<br />
Lime juice, quite a bit to give it that tang<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Knorr-MiniCubes-Cilantro-Seasoning-2-8-Ounce/dp/B004E5KGTW">Cilantro cubes</a> (remember there is salt in these, so be generous but don't ruin it with salt)<br />
Garlic (cubes, salt, powder, fresh, whatever floats your boat)<br />
<br />
<br />
Mix. Let it chill. And enjoy immensly.<br />

<br />
I don't think we can ever move away from New Mexico, where we regularly go through a 28 oz. container of green chile. Those little 4 oz. containers of canned green chile just would never cut it. We have occasionally gone for the bags of roasted green chiles (what are they...12 lbs., 20 lbs?) found in parking lots all over the state in the fall, but the frozen tubs are much more user friendly.<br />

This recipe has given me my best results yet for whole wheat breat. It isn't heavy and it rose amazingly well. And it is easy, so it's a win win! I got the recipe from my Worldwide Ward Cookbook: Mom's Best Recipes (pg. 38-9).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
4 1/2 tsp. yeast (2 packets)<br />
3/4 c. warm water<br />
7-9 c. whole wheat flour from hard white wheat, divided<br />
2 1/2 c. warm water<br />
1/2 c. wheat gluten<br />
1/3 c. honey<br />
1 1/2 Tbsp. salt<br />
2 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil<br />
<br />
Combine yeast with 3/4 c. warm water; add 1 C. flour. Mix vigorously. Let sit for 45 minutes or until it starts to settle back down. Add 2 1/2 C. warm water and 2 C. flour. Stir very well. Add wheat gluten, honey, salt, and oil. Mix well. Slowly add 4-6 C. flour until good bread consistency (dough pulls away from walls well). Knead 10-15 minutes (by hand or in Bosch on level 1). Cut in half and form in two loaves (see note below). Place in greased pans, cover with a towel and let rise 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bake at 325 for 30-35 minutes. It should be very light brown and super yummy!<br />
<br />
Note: I added 1/4 c. ground flaxseed and an extra bit of water. Just for an extra healthy kick. Sometime I'll have to try following the instructions on the ground flaxseed for using it to replace oil.<br />
<br />
High Altitude note:<br />
I don't know if this is from high altitude or not, but I'm pretending it is. I make 3 full size loafs out of this. The recipe says two, but when I do two the loaves are super duper tall. 3 loaves is just right for what you see here.Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-35950521703873400702011-05-05T20:34:00.000-07:002011-06-06T11:37:11.799-07:00Veggie PizzaThis is one of those foods I love so much I hardly ever make it.

(I think a whole packet is too much.) Spread over crust. Generously sprinkle on the veggies: broccoli, carrots, celery, green or red or yellow peppers, cauliflower, green onions, tomatoes... whatever you have that looks good!

I put my own spin on them using the ingredients I had at home. Took them to a scout activity and they were a hit. So, for those who need a good sugar rush, here is my recipe.<br />

S'mores Brownies<br />
<br />
1 pkg. fudge brownie mix<br />
approx. 2 sleeves graham crackers (I used cinnamon and it was great)<br />
a couple handfuls of mini marshmallows (you could cut up the big ones but that is really messy)<br />
a couple handfuls of semi-sweet chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Preheat oven according to the brownie package directions. Line a baking pan with foil and spray with Pam. (Or do what I did and use nonstick foil.) Break up graham crackers as desired and fill up baking sheet, leaving a little space between the cracker pieces so the brownie can get through. I broke them along both dotted lines and then broke each small rectangle into 2 squares. You could leave the crackers whole, but I think letting some batter through helps. Distribute the marshmallows and chocolate chips over the crackers. It isn't easy to get them even, so don't try too hard. Mix up the brownies according to package directions for fudgy brownies. Spoon the brownie mix into the pan. I poured it instead and missed getting some on most of the edges. When you bake it, the batter will spread a bit, but not completely. I used a large cookie sheet. You could avoid the problem by using a 13x9 pan instead, but I need to feed a room full of scouts. Bake until the brownies are done to your liking.

The flavor difference between this and what comes out of a crock pot is amazing. I used my crock pot recipe for Cafe Rio Pork and didn't change a thing. Wow, now you can really taste the flavor. It came out tasting like it was prepared in a smoker. I am so excited to try more recipes in my new pot!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I found conversion charts online that state how to convert crock pot recipes to dutch oven. Cook at 325 for 1/4 the time for low setting recipes and 1/2 the time for high setting recipes. These are just general guidelines.</div>

I found this recipe and it was a definite winner! Ben gave it 4.2 stars...out of 4 stars. :) I found the recipe here: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pasta-with-Tomato-Cream-Sauce/Detail.aspx">allrecipes</a> but added my own touches, like the mushrooms, onions and tomatoes.<br />

I called them Magic Bars. On the back of my Sam's Club size bag of chocolate chips and they call them <i>Outrageous Cookie Bars</i>. Whatever you call them, they are just plain good!<br />
<br />
1 stick butter or margarine<br />
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs<br />
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk<br />
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips<br />
1 c. flaked coconut<br />
1 c. chopped walnuts (I use pecans because that is what I like)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in 13x9 baking pan in oven; remove from oven. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter. Stir well; press onto bottom of pan. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumbs. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, coconut and nuts; press down firmly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 2-3 dozen bars.Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-87488656924254353402011-01-19T11:10:00.000-08:002011-07-23T12:02:11.872-07:00Cafe Rio Sweet Pork SaladAt Bunco about a year ago, Erica made us this salad. I have since had it at the restaurant in Utah a few times and this recipe is just as good. I'd say I like it better because I can choose the proportions of the ingredients on my salad. At Bunco this year, Erica made the same recipe for us but with chicken instead. Just as tasty! Just substitute chicken breast for the pork roast. There are a lot of recipes that go into making this salad, so I will just post the link to the recipe Erica shared with us. (By the way, the blogger Erica is not the same as the bunco Erica :) Thanks for opening my eyes to this wonderful meal, Erica!<br />

And here it is, the beloved recipe:<br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Variations:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Sprinkle brown sugar on top just before baking. Gives the bread a nice sweet crunch on top.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Substitute applesauce for half of the butter.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Add some vanilla and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Use applesauce to compensate for not enough bananas.

It makes two individual servings of chocolate lava cake...and it uses basic ingredients. These recipes often call for coffee, and since we don't drink coffee, I haven't been able to make them. This <a href="http://traceysculinaryadventures.blogspot.com/2011/01/molten-chocolate-cakes-for-two.html">recipe</a> (which I found on <a href="http://foodgawker.com/">foodgawker</a>) looks yummo and I can't wait to try it!<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">1 large egg, at room temperature</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">2 tablespoons granulated sugar</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">pinch of salt</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">1 tablespoon all-purpose flour</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">cocoa powder (for the ramekins)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">confectioners' sugar (for dusting, optional)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Preheat oven to 400 F. Generously butter two 6-oz ramekins and dust them with cocoa powder. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted and smooth. I like to do 30-second bursts at 50% power and stir in between each. In total, it'll probably take about 1 1/2 - 3 minutes, depending on your microwave.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a hand mixer on medium-low speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue to beat until the egg forms soft, billowy mounds, about 1 minute. Still beating, gradually add the sugar and salt. Once incorporated, beat for another 5-10 minutes, until the mixture is very thick and pale yellow in color.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Use a rubber spatula to transfer the egg mixture to the bowl containing the melted butter and chocolate. Sift the flour over the top, then use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together, just until incorporated. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins, smoothing the tops with your spatula. Put the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the cakes have puffed slighty and jiggle just a bit in the center when gently shaken. Immediately upon removing the cakes from the oven, run a knife around the edges of the ramekins. Invert the ramekins onto serving plates and let them sit for about 1 minute or so, until the cakes release from the ramekins. Remove the ramekins and, if using, dust the cakes with confectioners' sugar then serve immediately.</span></div>Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-10987996748522157732011-01-10T15:23:00.000-08:002011-01-10T15:48:23.461-08:00Marie's tenderlicious bread<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Our former Relief Society president makes this bread all the time to share.

Her husband grew up on fancy fudge, but this recipe is so much easier and just as good.<br />
<br />
3 c. chocolate chips<br />
1 can sweetened condensed milk<br />
<br />
Melt in the microwave. Mix in whatever you want. Pour into a foil lined (butter the foil) 9x9 pan.<br />
<br />
Sample mix ins:<br />
Rocky Road, stir in marshmallows and chopped nuts.<br />
Peanut butter<br />
Caramel and nuts and sea salt (have you <i>tried</i> salted caramel hot chocolate???)<br />
Mint extractKaren and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-34549645408601285262010-12-14T10:08:00.001-08:002022-01-28T14:31:19.615-08:00Mom's Orange Candy Cake2 c. white sugar<br />1 c. butter<br />
4 eggs<br />
1 t. baking soda<br />
1/2 c. buttermilk (dissolve baking soda in it)<br />
<br />
3 1/2 c. flour<br />
1 lb. dates, diced<br />
1 lb. orange gummy candy slices, diced (kitchen shears work well for this)<br />
1 c. coconut<br />
2 c. chopped pecans<br />
<br />
1 c. orange juice<br />
1 t. grated orange rind<br />
2 c. powdered sugar<br />
<br />
<br />
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add buttermilk/baking soda mixture.<br />
<br />
In large bowl, mix flour, dates, orange slices, coconut and nuts. Add sugar and egg mixture and mix well.<br />
<br />
Pour into greased and floured tube pan (or 4 loaf pans). Bake at 250 for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until it springs back when touched.<br />
<br />
Combine orange juice, rind and powdered sugar and pour over cake. (If making loaf pans, 1 1/2 this part of the recipe to make a bit more juice mixture to cover all loafs). Let stand in pan overnight. Before removing from pan, heat 10 minutes and cake will loosen from pan easily.Karen and Kylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17461134026313203652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154892871407340492.post-39965713566052860662010-12-14T10:01:00.000-08:002010-12-14T10:01:17.905-08:00Mom's Sour Cream Sugar CookiesCream together:<br />
2 c. sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
2 t. lemon extract<br />

2 t. vanilla<br />
<br />
In separate bowl, mix:<br />
2 1/2 t. baking powder<br />
1t. salt<br />
2 t. baking soda<br />
4-5 c. flour<br />
<br />
Mix together. Makes a soft dough. Refrigerate to firm dough. Roll on lightly floured board, but not too thin--maybe 1/4 inch. Cut out with cookie cutters. Bake on greased pans at 375 for 8-10 minutes, or until very lightly browned.<br />
