Betty Crocker Cinnabon Coffee Cake

We're studying the book of James this month in Sunday school. 
Part of our focal passages for the day was James 1:2-4:

 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 

I am afraid I still have much maturing to do!  
I like this quote from C.S. Lewis:

“If you think of this world as a place intended simply for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place of training and correction and it’s not so bad.” 
~C.S. Lewis 

 I've always liked this movie quote:
"Life is like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you're gonna get."
~ Forrest Gump's momma

 Betty Crocker Cinnabon Coffee Cake

I made this easy coffee cake for Sunday school this morning.  I have often made Cinnamon Pecan Muffins using this mix and thought I'd try making a Bundt coffee cake.  I thought it turned out well. It was moist and made for a tasty little breakfast. It would work great for dessert, too! 

Betty Crocker Cinnabon Cinnamon Streusel 
Premium Muffin and Quick Bread Mix

I preheated my oven to 350 degrees and coated my Bundt pan with cooking spray.  I "dusted" the Bundt pan with sugar and set it aside.
I used 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Cinnabon Cinnamon Streusel Premium Muffin and Quick Bread Mix and double the ingredients called for when making one box.  I poured half the batter into my Bundt pan and sprinkled both envelopes of dry topping mix (included in the box) over it.  I added the rest of the batter and baked the cake for about an hour.  I spooned the following glaze over the cake:

Whisk together 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1 cup confectioners' sugar.

This mix if often on sale, and there are many times coupons for Betty Crocker Muffin Mixes, too. I try to keep at least a couple of boxes of this mix in my pantry.

    Mmmmmm--I'm going to have to try this. Sometimes I think scratch is better than box mix, so I don't try the mix. It looks wonderful. (Though I'd rather have BC blueberry muffins than ones from scratch!)

    Thanks, Connie. And I like to be reminded that perseverance isn't a bad thing.

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...

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 ...

They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
