Nutty Candy Squares


HAPPY FALL, Y’ALL!!

Can you believe we’re already well into October?!
The past few months have been very busy, crazy ones for our family. We have dealt with some very stressful and difficult situations, but we’ve also had some fun and wonderful events and opportunities, as well. All have eaten away at the hours, days, weeks, months – and almost another year!

Thank you for all your prayers and concerns for my dad. He is recovering well from his surgery and will not have to have treatments! God is good!!

I have missed sharing recipes and visiting with my blogging friends. Time remains very tight with us, as I am sure it does for everyone. I do hope to try to catch up on you guys and to get back to swapping a few recipes with you, too!

Many blessings to you all and many thanks for your kindness and concern ~ Connie

This quote was in our Sunday School book this morning. It really spoke to me. 
I thought I'd share it with you guys:

"The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God."
~ Philip Yancey

Nutty Candy Squares

 (After all these weeks, I can't seem to find my camera cord to upload my photo. I'll add it when I find my cord!)

I made this candy using vanilla flavored candy coating and Planters mixed nuts for Sunday School this morning. Several folks said it reminded them of a Zero candy bar!

1 1/2 lbs. vanilla or chocolate flavored candy coating
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups coarsely chopped salted, roasted nuts

In heavy saucepan over low heat melt candy coating with sweetened condensed milk.
Remove from heat; stir in nuts.
Spread evenly into wax paper-lined 15 x 10-inch jelly pan.
Chill 2 hours or until firm. (If time permits, you can just allow to harden at room temperature.)
Turn onto cutting board, peel off wax paper and cut into squares.
Store tightly covered at room temperature.

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...

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 ...
