Menu – Angel Food Delight – Pineapple/Coconut Cake
Angel Food Delight – Pineapple And Coconut Cake Recipes
Tips:
When it comes to cooking, there are certain things that are on my list of “not too fun things to do.” I try to avoid these things when possible or find faster and easier ways to do them.
Here are a few things you may not like doing and some easier ways to do them:
- Chopping pickles (for egg salad, tuna, potato salad, etc.) I would normally just cut a pickle or two with my knife because the amount of time it takes to drag out a chopper, rinse it, let it dry and have to put it away for one little pickle seems like overkill to me. Here is an even easier method that Tawra often uses:Take several pickles, chop them with a chopper, place in a jar or container and cover with a little juice. Then, when you need a spoonful or two, just scoop them out of the jar, pressing the spoon against the side of the jar to remove the juice. These are almost like chunky pickle relish. Now you have chopped pickles handy all the time.
- Cracker Crumbs For years, I have tossed crackers into a bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. The bag would usually get a hole in it and I would end up with a big mess. (Believe it or not, I don’t own a food processor or chopper.)Instead, try placing your crackers into a wide mouth mug or small bowl. Use a narrower tumbler that fits inside the first mug to crush your crackers or cereal for crumbs.You could also crush a large amount of crackers into crumbs in a food processor all at once. Store in a large airtight container with a scoop and you’ll have them handy and ready whenever you need them. This works especially well for graham cracker crumbs if you make a lot of pie crusts or to use in other recipes.
- Cutting Meat For years, I used a knife to cube all kinds of my meat, until I discovered kitchen shears. Even a nice pair of strong scissors works well. Now I cut my meat with the kitchen shears. It only takes half the time and I don’t have to clean a cutting board afterward.If you are cutting something like steak into cubes, cut it when it’s slightly frozen, because it is easier to cut.

Heavenly Hash Chocolate Cake Recipe And Turtle Cake
These two easy cake recipes including Heavenly Hash Chocolate Cake Recipe And a Turtle Cake make decadent chocolate desserts that are rich and delicious!
Two Yummy Chocolate Cake Recipes!
I can never get enough chocolate. I wish I could have it directly pumped into my veins but then I guess I would not have the wonderful pleasure of tasting it then would I? : ) This first recipe is one I got almost 45 years ago when I was living in the wonderful state of Texas. (I had to say that for my son in law.) They don’t do anything by half measures in that state and this recipe is a good example with all the extra gooey yummy stuff in it. There sure are some great cooks there. Be forewarned: This is a very rich dessert. It can be used as a cake or brownie.
Heavenly Hash Chocolate Cake Recipe
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 Tbsp. baking cocoa
1 1/2 cups flour
nuts
1 pkg. mini marshmallowsCream the margarine and sugar. Add eggs, cocoa, flour and nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. While it is baking, mix up the frosting below. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately cover it with marshmallows so they will melt slightly. Then top with frosting right away.
Frosting
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
3-4 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. baking cocoa
Pinch of salt (optional)
8 Tbsp. evaporated milk (You can use regular milk.)Cream the butter. Add the remaining ingredients in order. If the frosting is too stiff, add more milk. If it is too soft, add more powdered sugar.
This recipe is one my mom has used for many many years. At a certain period in time, everyone was using German chocolate cakes for everything and this comes from that period.
Turtle Cake Recipe
1 regular box German chocolate cake mix plus the ingredients on the back of the package
3/4 cup butter, melted
1 – 14 oz bag Kraft caramels
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup nuts
1 cup chocolate chipsPreheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare cake mix as directed on the package. Add the 3/4 cup butter to it. Pour half of the batter into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes. While it is baking, melt the caramels and milk together. Take the cake out of the oven. Pour the caramel mix over the cake, sprinkle with nuts and chocolate chips and pour the remaining batter over it all. Bake 25-30 minutes more.

Poppy Seed Cake Recipe – Quick Bread Tips
Poppy Seed Cake And Quick Bread Tips
Baby it’s cold outside. Winter is certainly here. Most of us have probably had enough of a break from the Christmas baking and are ready to start baking again. I love to bake in the winter. It would always give my kitchen a warm toasty feel and smell for when the kids came home from school on a cold winter day.
Tip: You can interchange most quick bread recipes and muffin recipes. The main thing to watch is the time and temperature you bake them at.
Here are basic guidelines:
Loaf – 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes
Loaf – 325 degrees for 1 hour
Muffins – 400-425 degrees for 15-20 minutesYou may have to adjust the temperatures a little to match the type of pan you use and to adjust to your own oven.
Here is a quick bread poppy seed cake recipe that’s different from my usual favorite banana bread. This recipe can easily be made into a bread or a cake. For a cake, just bake in a 9×13 cake pan at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Frost with cream cheese frosting.*
Poppy Seed Cake Recipe
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. salt

If you don’t have time to make cornbread or are out of crackers when serving soup, serve it with some of your favorite seasoned croutons.
It is so easy to make your own croutons. You can use any old, dried bread you want but tougher breads like French bread work best. This is a good way to use things like leftover hamburger buns, bagels or dinner rolls.
All croutons store well an airtight containers for a couple of weeks.

Menu – Brisket Recipe With Cranberry Sauce
Tips:
- Use leftover eggnog in place of milk when making vanilla pudding.
- I often buy things for special holiday dinners that I don’t want my family to eat ahead of time. To prevent this, use stickers to put on the items to identify which things are off limits. Use stickers like turkeys or pilgrims for Thanksgiving, Christmas stickers for Christmas, or birthday stickers for a birthday party. This way, when your family sees the sticker, they will know not to touch.
- It is nice to have extra casseroles in the freezer this time of year in case you need a quick meal. If you aren’t sure a casserole will freeze well, make only one to eat that night and then freeze just a few tablespoons of it to see how it does. If it works, then the next time you make it you can make two – one to eat and one to freeze for a future meal.

Ham Meal Plan with Sweet Potato and Apple Dish Recipe
Quick Tips For Easier Meals:
- To frost your cake quickly, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of it as soon as you bring it out of the oven. Once the chocolate chips melt, gently spread. Dusting with powdered sugar is another quick and less expensive topping for a cake.
- It’s always hard to get to those little nooks and crannies on small kitchen appliances and dishes when you are cleaning. Here are 3 brushes I keep on hand to make these items easier to clean – a baby bottle brush, nipple brush or cake decorating tip brush and a toothbrush. You may not need all of these but pick a couple of the ones you think you will use the most.
- There are days when I am brain dead while cooking and I can’t remember if I have salted something or not. It this happens to you a lot too, salt the item first and then immediately add the pepper. Then when you see the specks of pepper you know you have salted it.
