Cabbage Rolls

Pot roast has always been a favorite dish of mine. I thought of baked cabbage and wanted to put something delicious inside of it. So I decided to put the pot roast inside of the cabbage and made rolls. Thought it would look better and taste better with a sauce to go on top. Which I thought turned out great.

Apricot-Coconut Cookie Bars

If you enjoy gooey delicious fruit bars, this recipe is for you. I’ve added ground oats to the pastry, which gives it a slightly heartier consistency, mixed in apricot preserves with the chopped apricots to spread on top of the baked pastry, and added sliced almonds to the coconut mixture to give the bars a little crunch. To make these bars just a little more special, I’ve topped them with drizzled white chocolate, diced apricots, and chopped sliced almonds. Your family and friends won’t be able to resist!

Maple Gooey Butter Cake

Ok first off never heard of this cake so I was kind of hesitant when making it, but it came out really good and was really gooey. It was easy to make and you can make this cake for any get-together.   CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there. You can visit numerous producers, taste their wares, and grab some syrup or other goodies on your way out. In 2007 while visiting the various producers I picked up a bunch of recipe pages on all sorts …

Snicker Cupcakes

This recipe is a very sweet treat. It is easy to make. It took me about a good minute to complete because I made 48 of them for my husband’s co-workers. They can be made for any occasion.

Cajun Pecan Pie

What sets this pie apart from your average pecan pie is the pecan graham cracker crust and of course…the bourbon. This delicious pie can also easily be made vegan by substituting the heavy cream for dairy-free heavy whipping cream alternative and using vegan butter. Note: If you would like to save time, you can also use a graham cracker-ready pie crust.

Brownies

These brownies were so good , they were moist and very chocolatey. I have made a lot of brownies ,and used several different recipes. I really think this one is one of the best. It is a very easy recipe to follow ,and they bake up beautifully. My son loves these brownies, he said ,” Mom I think these are the best brownies you have ever made”!!  

Green Beans and Celery

In this recipe I decided to make green bean casserole with a twist. I decided to use all the ingredients and add 2 cans of cream of mushroom and topped it of with 1/2 bag of dried onions. I make green bean casserole all the time it was nice to add a twist to it.

Seafood casserole

I had a lot of fun with this one. I am from the south and never heard of shrimp in a can. I went and got fresh shrimp. I used imitation  crab meat but you could use fresh if desired. I used the tuna to make a tuna dip. Which turned out great. Add a hand full of cheese to milk mixture.

Coconut Macaroon Pie

I decided to make a cheese cake with toasted coconut on top. I usually make my cheese cake using chocolate chip cookies or crescent rolls on both top and bottom of cream mixture. I decided to use a pie shell instead.
