Caramel Icing

Again, another recipe for caramel icing. This one is from my grandmother Gladah Childs. The other one is the one we usually use though.

Orange Cake

This recipe was in my mother’s collection. I don’t know who Mrs. Isenboth is. She is credited with this recipe.

Hawaiian Style Pumpkin Crunch

This recipe was collected from the Holo Holo Charter Blog. One note, however, is that my attempt at this recipe ended up very mushy and not really set. Not sure if I did something wrong or not.

Darn Good Chocolate Cake

Made this cake for Dakota’s birthday when he asked for chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and chocolate ice cream. It was really good.

Elephant Ears

This recipe was posted in the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper when I was a kid.

Beef Stroganoff with Ground Beef

This version of beef stroganoff is made with ground beef and cream of chicken soup.

Chocolate Chip Date Cake

This cake is made with dates, chocolate chips, and coconut.

Green Beans with Ham

I have never called these “southern” green beans, but apparently that is where the recipe came from. Also part of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. Our family does NOT make the green bean casserole with soup. Bleh!

Cornbread Chili Bake

This is a cornbread-based chili casserole. The base is made from ground beef and kidney beans.
