Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake


Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake

This cake is fairly quick to make and is very yummy! 
It got good reviews at Sunday school and at home!
I love peanut butter! My favorite is Jif Extra Crunchy! I like "natural" peanut butter, too!
Larry was the first (and almost only) person I ever met who didn't like peanut butter. I didn't realize a person couldn't like peanut butter!! He said it wasn't that he didn't like peanut butter, he just didn't like it in things - like cookies. After more than 25 years, I've pretty much changed that, although he'll still say something peanut butter flavored isn't his favorite! I guess I've still got some work to do! ;) He did brag on this cake, though!
I hope you all have a wonderful week! We will finish our school work this week, so we're pretty excited about that. Summer Break is just around the corner! Many blessings to all!

Did you know that peanuts are not actually nuts?
They are legumes, like beans, peas and lentils.
Americans eat an estimated 3 pounds of peanut butter per person per year. That is enough peanut butter to coat the floor of the Grand Canyon! I am fairly sure I consume far more than my 3 pound allotment! :)

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 ...

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!
