Sticky Icing (or 7 Minute Frosting)

One of the traditional icings that we have used in our family.

Chocolate Caramel Brownies

These brownies are sticky, gooey, and delicious.

Chocolate Mousse Kahlua Cake

I believe that this was the original recipe for my Kahlua cake that I made many, many years ago.

Spring Vegetable Soup with Orzo

This soup has chicken broth, orzo, asparagus, peas, scallions, dill, lemon juice, and celery can be added.

Apricot Gelatin Salad

This recipe is very similar to Bethany’s salad, but doesn’t have the shredded carrots and has mandarin oranges instead. This has apricot Jell-O, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, cream cheese, and “Dream Whip”. Is Dream Whip still something you can buy? I have never used it.

Small Jelly Role

This looks yummy, but never tried because I didn’t want to try to roll cake.

Snickerdoodles

These are one of my all time favorite cookies. Wish there was a more diabetic-friendly version.

Dressing

This dressing (or sometimes I call stuffing, but we have never actually stuffed a turkey with it!) gets a nice crisp top and sides which is my favorite part. Also a recipe that does not truly have measurements and is done by taste.

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

This was a really good chocolate frosting. I used it on the Darn Good chocolate cake recipe for Dakota’s birthday.

Cheese Soufflé

Cheese Soufflé

This recipe just says “cheese” and doesn’t specify what kind of cheese. Recipes that I looked up call for sharp cheddar and parmesan, but I am sure those aren’t the only options.
