Fresh Apple Cake: Finger-lickin' Good Recipes Friday/Food Drive/Weighing In...


Weighing In...
Just holdin' this week! 
I did walk more, but I just ate too much this week to lose anything! 
Maybe I'll do better next week....


I am sure most of you are aware of the 
National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive Campaign.
It's a great cause and participating is so easy!
Simply place non-perishable food items, such as canned goods, in a bag.
Place the bag in your mail box tomorrow -  Saturday, May 8th.
Your letter carrier will pick up your donation and carry it to your local food pantry.
How simple is that? 

Romans 12:13
Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.


It's "Finger-lickin' Good Recipes Friday!" 
I am enjoying all the recipes that have been share in the past few weeks. 
Thank you all for participating!! I think a great recipe is one of the best little gifts you can give!

I am going to start today by posting a recipe that my friend, Wayne, emailed to me last week. Wayne is a very lucky man! His wife, Barbara, is a terrific cook! Wayne is a great cook, too!

Fresh Apple Cake 
~ By Nettie Mae Carter Gaillard and passed on to Barbara Carter

Connie...I may have sent this one before...if not, I think you're going to love it.  I'm attaching a picture of what's left of a recent fresh apple cake.  By tomorrow night even the crumbs will have disappeared...it's that good.

Ingredients:
1¼ Cups Cooking Oil
2 Cups Sugar
2 Eggs
2½ Cups S.R. Flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
3 baking apples (Granny Smith), peeled, cored and chunked

Prepare apples and chopped nuts then set aside.
Combine the first five ingredients then incorporate the apples and nuts into the mixture.
Bake at 325 degrees in an oblong pan 9 X 13, until cake is golden brown and top slightly crisp.

Glaze:
Heat to dissolve:
1 stick oleo or butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. milk

Bring to boil, then add:
¾ cup sifted powered sugar

Once all is blended, pour over warm cake, allowing cake to cool…glaze will harden.  Serve from pan.

Join the fun by adding you link, posting your recipe in the comment section below, or emailing your recipe to me at

Best wishes for a wonderful weekend to all!
God bless!

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

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.
