Upside Down Cobbler, Peach cobbler or other flavors

2009-04-17T15:24:00.000-07:00

I love this recipe!!!!!
this is for a peach version, but I have made it with Cherry pie filling and it turns out scrumptious also!!!!
and its SO EASY TO MAKE

Ingredients

1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup milk

1 large can of peaches (29oz)
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

put stick of butter in a 13x9x2 baking dish.
Put in the oven until butter is melted......
In a medium mixing bowl mix 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder and milk. mix well then pour over the melted butter.
then Pour the peaches and juice on top of the batter,
sprinkle the peaches with the other cup of sugar and the 1tsp cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

let cool and crust will be lightly crispy my kids really love this and so does my husband.....I like baking this while I am preparing dinner and then by time you want a later dessert its cooled off just right (still warm but not all the way cool!! )

If you decide to substitute cherry pie filling for the peaches,
I just leave out the cinnamon and it turns out equally as good as the peach version!!!

Homeade Vegetable Soup - Like Grandma and Mom!

2008-11-06T10:48:00.000-08:00

Anytime we would have leftover pot roast this was always a favorite to make another dish,
I always wanted to help out in the kitchen and

even If I couldn't I observed as much as I could!!

here is how to make homeade vegetable soup or stew like Grandma and Mom did!

(you can also just cook up some of the stew meat covered with water for a few hours (with onion soup mix) til tender if you don't have leftovers to work with )

These are the ingredients I like to use in my soup but you can add or takeaway depending on the vegetables you like best.

Roast or Stew Meat
Chopped Carrots
Chopped Potatoes
1 pkg of small shell macaroni
1 bag frozen corn
1 bag frozen chopped okra (no batter on it) or whole baby okra
1 large can diced tomatos
2 large cans Tomato Sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Take chunks of your leftover roast beef and toss in a pan add water and bring to a boil, if you have extra stock from the roast use that too and just fill a big dutch oven about halfway full of water and boil away,

Chop up raw carrots and add to the boiling pot stir occasionally
to let them get a head start on the other since they take longer to cook
cook about 15 minutes then

Peel Potatoes and cut into chunks and add to the boiling
mixture, add the can of diced tomatos and add the frozen corn and okra
make sure pot is pretty full of liquid maybe 3/4 full in your pan.

Boil about 10 minutes then add the package of shell macaroni,
stir occasionally
cook about 6 to 8 minutes until pasta is tender

then when that is done add the 2 large cans of tomato sauce
turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes and
and let stand until serving

add salt and pepper to taste.

All of our children love this and its a great to get them to eat their vegetables

Potato Salad - Grandma's Best!

2008-11-06T06:38:00.000-08:00

Many times I would help my grandma make a huge Tupperware bowl of Potato salad to take to church dinners or family dinners, she made THE BEST Potato salad and everyone would rave and clean out her dish!

Here is what we did
you will need
approx 5lb potatos
miracle whip or Mayo
dill pickles
sweet yellow onion
mustard
pickle juice
salt
pepper

Use about 5lbs of potatos
peel potatos and cut up in chunks and place in a big pan
just cover with water and bring to a boil, then boil until tender and ready to mash

Drain and mash, add salt and pepper to taste

let cool a little then add
1 1/2 cups miracle whip or mayo
1 tablespoon of mustard
1/3 to 1/2 cup pickle juice from the jar of dill pickles
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cup finely chopped pickles

Mix well and chill to serve
you can also add boiled chopped up eggs if you desire
and on the mayo you can add more or less depending on your taste

the one problem with cooking from scratch it is so hard to duplicate
recipes, since we tend to add a little of this or that without measuring
I hope if you try it you enjoy!
This is one of my favorites for holiday meals, with barbeque beef sandwiches,
fried chicken etc. Always get many raves on this recipe and like my grandma always said the secret to our tasty potato salad is the pickle juice :)

and it is fascinating how the crust raises to the top & the Sugary crust!

1 stick butter
1 large can sliced peaches (sometimes if I want more peaches I will add an extra can that is drained)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

BATTER:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk

Heat oven to 350degrees
in 9x13 pan melt stick of butter in the pan

then mix your batter ingredients well, pour in the pan on top of the melted butter
then open your peaches and pour over the batter mixture into the baking pan
sprinkle the top of the peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon

place in the oven and bake for 1 hour

then serve after baking or cooled off, its good either way!

***You can also substitue with other fruits,
I have used this recipe with cherry pie filling and left the cinnamon out and tasted wonderful too!

Susan Pittser's Pumpkin Pie Recipe
1 pack of Pillsbury Ready Roll out Pie crust
4 eggs
1 15oz can of 100% pure pumpkin
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon Or the Tupperware CINNAMON/VANILLA seasoning blend
2 cans of milnot Evaporated milk (12oz each) (pet milk, carnation evaporated milk or other brand will work)

You can choose to make either TWO 9 inch pies or One 9x13 cake pan with a larger pie for larger crowd, I make the 9X13 version alot and use my Tupperware Rectangular Cake Taker to transport it to potluck and get togethers. To make the cake pan size I just put two of the pie crusts together and shape the dough out to fit.

To make the filling
Beat Eggs, Add Sugar and Pumpkin and salt and mix together add cinnamon vanilla seasoning blend and then last add the milnot to the mixture then pour the filling into your pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes,

You can tell if the pie is done by piercing the center of pie with a butter knife, if it comes out clean the pie is done, if it doesn't come out clean then bake at 5 minute intervals and testing until done. Let Stand and Cool and Top each piece with Cool Whip if desired, Keep refrigerated when storing leftovers.

The Best Flakiest Peanut Brittle ~Perfect Holiday Candy Recipe~

2006-12-05T17:01:00.000-08:00

My mom has made the best Peanut Brittle for years with her recipe given to her by her Mother!
I remember her making batch after batch to give as Christmas Gifts.
This is so light and flaky and very Easy on the teeth peanut brittle!

3 cups Sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
3 (Heaping) cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS
Prepare a buttered surface to pour your mixture out on to when complete

Boil Sugar, Syrup, and water until a thread spins...
You can check it by holding it over a plate or pan dip the spoon in and watch to see if the drops become like a thread..when it spins small threads from your spoon, then add the peanuts and
stir continuously and cook until the mixture becomes a gold color,
I normally do this by dabbing a tiny drop on something white (napkin, paper, plate etc) and then keep track as I go when I think it might be golden to check to see how it has progressed in the color.
when it is the golden color
Take off the stove and add butter salt and soda mixing quickly as it will begin to foam...pour onto a buttered board or surface and let cool
Break into pieces! YUM! Homemade peanut brittle!
Be sure to store this in an airtight Tupperware container to retain freshness and crunch! www.StorageSecrets.com

Delicious Orange Slice Cake-- Grandma Jewell Myers always fixed this at Christmas!

2006-12-03T09:25:00.000-08:00

I remember so many times helping Grandma cut up the orange slices into tiny bits to make this delicious fruit cake, it is unlike any other fruitcake you have tried,
This orange slice cake is the best moist cake and really pretty easy to make
it just is a long baking and the trickiest part seemed to be cutting up the orange slices into pea size bits! We would try with a knife or scissors for awhile and it would be so sticky you couldn't get it through the candy ***Talk about hand cramps***
So we figured out if we would dip our knife or scissor blades into flour or sugar first it would keep it from getting so messy and work the best! *if you try this recipe you will see what I mean!
The taste was so worth the efforts!!! YUM!
Oh the precious memories! This cake you can store for quite awhile and I think the longer it sets sometimes the moister it is so you don't have to worry about it spoiling quickly. Keep it in a cake taker and will last a really long time and stay super moist for the holidays!

1 lb orange slices (cut up into pea size pieces)
2 sticks butter
4 eggs
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 cups chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups flour

Melt Butter and let cool
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl,
add sugar, add butter, add flour, then
add orange slices and pecans

Bake at 250degrees for 2 hours and 45 minutes
these can be made in a bundt pan or a loaf pan
I recommend baking more than one at a time since
it is such a long baking time and
you can always eat one give the other as a gift

One of my funniest memories of this cake is when we first
got married the first Christmas I made one of these cakes to take
to my husbands grandmas house for the family get together.
There was just a few slices taken from the cake the last time
I looked and we were getting ready to leave so I told Byron's Grandma
to keep some for herself and here she came bringing me my empty cake taker!! LOL
that was so funny...she loved the cake and kept the whole thing!! I had expected to have some of the cake left to take home.....heehee
We still laugh about that, I was a little shocked with the totally empty cake taker!!! lol
needless to say it was a big hit and always is when I fix it.
