I shared with you a few weeks back about my kids' love of Coca-Cola World and our favorite Coca-Cola Cake recipe: http://mealplanningwithconnie.blogspot.com/2009/06/its-real-thing-coca-cola-cake.html

Here's a quicker Coca-Cola Brownies recipe that has a nice little touch of Coke flavor. Logan really likes these!

Coca-Cola Brownies

Coca-Cola Brownies

Prepare a package of family-size (for 9x13 pan) according to package directions, substituting Coca-Cola for the water.

When done, remove brownies from oven and pour icing over warm brownies. Allow icing to "set."

Icing:

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan.
Stir in 2 tablespoons cocoa until dissolved.
Add 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, 2 tablespoons Coca-Cola and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Stir until smooth. Pour over warm cake. Let set until firm.

  1. First, thank you so much for commenting on my P31 devotional today. I love knowing the Lord used it to speak to a woman's heart.

    Second, I am SO glad I stopped by your blog. I am a HUGE Coca Cola fan and love this recipe. I will have to make it for my family. Can't wait to make it.

    Blessings,

  2. I voted that I don't drink "Cokes" because I mostly drink sweet tea. I will occasionally drink a "drink", and everybody else at my house loves Pepsi.

    Coca Cola cake is one of the most decadent things I've ever put in my mouth--I haven't made one in a while...I think I'm gonna put it on the weekend menu! (My aunt, who gave me the recipe, called it "Co-cola" cake. I love the different names we use in the South for soft drinks.)

  4. Pepsi sure had a dismal showing in your survey! My son would be appalled...he's 14 and he is on a Coke boycott, just because Pepsi is better! ;)

    So, tell me, would Pepsi work in your Coca-Cola cake? I'm sure the purists out there would say "No way!"

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9. This recipe has been in my family for many years.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s
