Dressing

This recipe makes enough for about six servings, the recipe
can be doubled or tripled or whatever for larger groups.

Ingredients:
2 Pkgs. cornbread mix ( I use Texas Style by Morrison's 6 ozs. per pkg.)
3 celery sticks
1/4 med. sized yellow onion
1 1/2 to 2 cups Chicken Broth
1 to 2 tbsp. Poultry Seasoning ( or to taste )
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Chop celery and onion to small pieces. Mix cornbread to pkg. directions.
Add chopped celery and onion to cornbread mix and bake according to directions. I add some baking time to the cornbread due to the celery and onion, about 5 to 10 min, or until knife blade comes out clean.
Let cornbread cool then crumble into large oven safe dish or pan to bake.
Add Chicken Broth, salt, pepper, and Poultry seasoning. Mix thoroughly
by hand, mixture will by very most. Since all ingredients are cooked you can taste the mixture and season to taste. Don't forget baking will enhance the taste of seasoning slightly. Bake at 375 degrees until dressing
is slightly brown on top and don't let it burn around the edges. About 35 to 45 min.

Cornish Hens

Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Take a quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil, and one pat of unsalted butter and placed in a bowl with several cloves of minced garlic. Microwave this mixture for about 1:30 seconds and let stand.
Prepare the hens by rinsing, and patting dry with several paper towels. (Trick learned by Julia Child herself). Use a brush to coat the hens with the extra virgin olive oil mixture, and then generously season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and parsley.
Season the bottom side first, then flip and repeat. Roast in the oven for about 55 minutes or until done, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Delicious!

Easiest fudge recipe in the world

Ready Mix Biscuit mix!

Ingredients

9 cups all-purpose flour
 1/3 cup double-acting baking powder
4 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cups shortening—which does not require refrigeration (or coconut oil)
1 3/4 cups non-fat dry milk (use instant)
Directions Stir baking powder, non-fat dry milk, and salt into the flour. Cut fat into flour mixture until all particles of shortening are thoroughly coated and the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. This can be done with a food processor, blender, electric mixer, pastry cutter, whisk, or fork. (I used my handheld electric mixer because I was lazy but in a grid down, a pastry cutter or fork would work just fine.) Store your Ready-Quick Mix in a tightly covered container, at room temperature for up to six weeks. You can also store it in the refrigerator or freezer but my guess it won’t last long enough to worry about long term storage.
Basic Pancakes 1 cup Ready-Quick 1/2 cup water (or to taste if you like thinner pancakes) 1/2 egg or 1 yolk (or 1 tbl powdered egg plus 1 tbl water) 1/2 tsp. Sugar Add sugar to the Ready-Quik Mix.  There is no need to sift.  Add the egg (or egg powder) plus the water and stir about 25 times.  It will be a bit lumpy which is normal and no big deal.  Heat your skillet (cast iron, or course) until drops of water dance.  Pour in your batter.  Turn when bubbles appear on the surface – be patient, this is important.

BANANA PUDDING POKE CAKE!!!

 BANANA PUDDING POKE CAKE!!!

A new way to make it!

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix (& ingredients to make cake)
2 box (small) instant banana pudding
4 c milk
8 oz whipped topping
20 vanilla wafers, crushed
sliced bananas - use your own judgment

Directions

1 Follow the direction on the cake mix box to prepare the actual cake. Prepare it in a 9 x 13" pan. When golden, remove from over and let cool for a few minutes.
2 When just slightly cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon (the handle end) to poke holes into the baked cake. Don't be shy; make the holes big enough for the pudding to seep into and go deep enough with the spoon that you hit the bottom of the pan.
3 Next, prepare your pudding mixture. Combine your 4 cups of milk and the instant pudding mix; whisk until fully combined and there are no lumps.
4 Now it's time to fill those holes! Pour the pudding mixture over the entire cake, taking care to get it into all your holes. Use the spoon to help really get it into the cake and spread evenly.
5 Refrigerate for about two hours... or until set. Top with whipped topping, crushed vanilla wafers and sliced banana! Serve and enjoy. (Refrigerate any leftovers.)

Mini Apple Pies

Mini Apple Pies- 
can be done in your mini pie pans too.
BE SURE TO LIKE AND SHARE SO YOU CAN SAVE THIS FOR LATER WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE IT.

Start by cutting up eight cups of apples into small 1/2in bits.
Mix the apples with:
12 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2c of sugar
4 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (depending on how much you like nutmeg...you could also leave it out)

You will also need:
4 tablespoons of chilled butter cut into 24 equal portions.
two boxes of pilsbury pie crusts (four chilled NOT frozen crusts)

Unroll your first pie crust and cut several circles out. Continue this until you have enough crusts.
I found that a wide mouth mason jar ring worked perfectly.
Line each cup of your muffin tin with a tiny pie crust.
gently fill the crusts with your apple mixture
You should be able to fill until slightly mounded.
and put a dab of butter on each pie.
Cover as desired with left over dough. Brush with melted butter and bake at 400 for 18 to 22 minutes.

Salmon Patties Southern Style

Salmon Patties Southern Style

This is the recipe my mother has used for years and taught me a long time ago. Here is what you will need for these:

1 15oz. can salmon (I prefer the pink salmon)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup crushed cracker crumbs
2 Tbs cornmeal
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
dash of pepper
oil for frying (Canola or vegetable oil)

Open the can of salmon and drain the liquid off of it.
Pour the salmon in a bowl and pick through it and remove the skin and any bones you see. Some people just mix all of the skin and the little soft bones into the patties, but I prefer not to do that. Mix the crushed cracker crumbs, eggs, corn meal, and seasonings into the salmon.
Shape into uniform size patties about 1/2 inch thick. The mixture should stick together well. Pour enough oil in a pan to cover the bottom and heat to medium. Place the salmon in the pan. Fry on each side until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.

Banana Split Dessert

4 ripe bananas
2 cups cold Milk
1 Large box instant Vanilla Pudding
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

In a medium sized bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 x13 inch pan. Set aside.

Beat together remaining sugar and cream cheese until well mixed. Carefully spread over cookie crust. Top with pineapple. Slice bananas and layer over pineapple. Add sliced strawberries over bananas.

In another bowl mix together cold milk and vanilla pudding and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together whipping cream, vanilla and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Remove 1 cup of whipped cream/powdered sugar mixture and fold into pudding. Layer pudding over bananas. Spread remaining whipped cream over pudding and sprinkle with huts. Chill for 5 hours before serving.

NOTE: You can also use 1 carton (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed instead of the whipped cream.

FRIED APPLE or PEACH PIES

FRIED APPLE or PEACH PIES
Everybody loves them! And they are simple to make.
These fried apple pies are made with refrigerated biscuits and dried apples/peaches. You can make your own biscuit dough or simply use refrigerated biscuits. If you make a double or triple batch to take to a gathering you will be the hit of the day!

*The trick is making sure you get a good seal at the edge and don’t poke holes in them as you move them around. Don’t fry them too fast or the inside won’t get done.

Ingredients:
8 ounces dried apples or dried peaches
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tsp. cinnamon or apple pie spice
1 can jumbo refrigerated flaky biscuits
vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation:
Combine apples and water in saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool, mashing slightly if pieces are large. Stir in sugar and butter; set mixture aside.
**(If using fresh apples: For the filling: Add 2 TBS butter to a large saute pan and melt. Add 4 peeled, cored and chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tsp lemon juice and cook over medium heat until the apples are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, mash slightly and cool.)
Roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place about 1 tablespoon apple mixture on half of each biscuit circle. To seal pies, dip fingers in water and moisten edges of circles. Fold in half, making sure edges are even. Using a fork dipped in flour, press edges firmly together to seal.

Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a heavy skillet, or use deep fryer. Fry pies in hot oil (370°) over medium-high heat until golden, turning once. Don't rush it because you want to make sure the biscuit is cooked completely through.
Drain well on paper towels.
Makes 10 pies.

Homemade Krispy Kreme

Homemade Krispy Kremes — Yes, this is the actual recipe!
*To SAVE this recipe, be sure to click SHARE so it will store on your personal page.*


Ingredients:
3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp boiling water
1 tsp dry active yeast
8 oz all purpose flour (a little under 2 cups - I recommend you measure and weigh. See my note above)
1 1/2 oz sugar (about 3 tablespoons)
1 egg
1 oz butter, cold to room temperature (just don't melt it, okay?)
dash of salt

Enough oil to cover the bottom few inches of a wok, or a deep fryer.

Directions:
In a large measuring jug, combine the milk and boiling water. Add a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it gently, then leave it in a warm place for the yeast to activate (aka foam).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, the rest of the sugar, and the salt. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry blender, until it resembles crumbs.
Add the egg (give it a quick beat) and yeast mixture to the flour mix, and mix into a smooth dough. This usually takes about 5 minutes of mixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured counter and knead for about 5 to 10 minutes—it should feel springy and little bubbles should form under the surface. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let rise for about an hour until double in size.
Once risen, place the dough onto the counter and cut it into 4 pieces. One piece at a time, stretch it into a long rope about an inch to an inch and a half wide. Cut strips about an inch long, ball em up with your hands, and place them on a baking tray or wire rack to wait.
Cover the doughnuts holes with a cloth to rise while you heat the oil to 375F.
Place the doughnuts into the oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure to fry only a few at a time so they don’t overcrowd and stick together.
Drain on a paper towel or wire rack over a cloth, before glazing them. Be sure to glaze them warm, or else they won’t get that delicious coverage!

Glaze:
1/3 cup butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
4 tablespoons hot water or as needed

A brief note: I recommend a scale, as not all flours (and cup measurements) are made equal.
2 cups of my Canadian flour in my Canadian cups on my scale might be more or less than yours.
If you don't have a scale, start at 1 1/2 cups and work your way up from there.

1/2 c. warm water
2 c. milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
3 Tbl. of melted butter, slightly cooled

2 quarts all purpose flour (7-8 cups)

You can also mix in some cooked mushrooms, diced ham, Italian sausage, etc if desired.

Leave about a 1/4 inch from top of dish to allow for Pepperoni and cheese to be layered on top.

Cook at 350 until cheese melts good.
