Ingredients

Cake:

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix

1 small Box Instant Lemon Pudding

1 1/2 Cups 7 Up

4 Eggs

3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

Glaze:

2 Cups Powdered Sugar

1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

2 Tbsp. Milk

Instructions

Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Then grease and flour a 10-inch fluted or plain tube pan (you decide!)

In a big bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffly and light.

Add in 1 egg at a time (don’t overdo this), beating well after each one. Now, add in vanilla and lemon juice, while beating.

Add in the flour alternately with the 7UP; beating well with each addition.

Move the batter into a prepared pan. Bake until toothpick in the center comes out clean for about 75 minutes. Cool in a pan for 15 – 20 minutes and move it into a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar, 7UP, and lemon juice to each your wanted consistency. If desired, you can stir in zest lightly over the cake! 

From my followers:

I love this recipe. My auntie Syble has made 7 up a cake for as far back as 50 years or something like that. It has become an occasion most loved in our family. It is significant this is basically a pound cake. That implies that by the plan, the surface is denser and heavier than a layer cake.  The recipe here is equivalent to my auntie’s with the exception of that as opposed to using 1-1/2 cups of butter, 1 cup of butter, and 1/2-cup of all-vegetable shortening are utilized in the cake.

Chicken and Dumplings Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups Flour

½ tsp. Baking Powder

1 pinch Salt

2 Tbsp. Butter

1 cup buttermilk (If you do not have buttermilk, you can add 1 Tbsp. white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This makes a great substitute for buttermilk!)

2 Quarts Chicken Stock

3 cups Cooked Chicken – shredded or cut in pieces (I poach boneless, skinless chicken breasts and then let them cool)

Directions:

In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Now, cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or fork. Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball.

Flour the working surface as much as possible. You’ll need a rolling pin or something to cut the dumplings with.

Now, roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin.

Dip your cutter in flour and cut the dumplings in squares about 2 x 2-inches each. It’s okay for them not to be exact.

Try to eyeball it. Certain ones will be bigger or smaller, others may even be shaped funny.

Use the floured spatula and put them on a floured plate. Just keep flouring between each layer of dumbling.

To cook them, bring the oven to a boil.

Now, drop the dumplings (one at a time), stirring while you add them. Add the extra flour to them, which will help thicken the broth.

Cook for about 20 minutes or until it’s not doughy

Add the cooked chicken to the pot and serve.

Are you looking to have a homemade bread to serve to your family and friends? Look no further for our easy homemade bread recipe. Below, we’ll give you a detailed breakdown of how to make this delicious bread.

Weather can have an impact on your ingredients: If you live in a hot or moist climate, chances are you’ll need the recommended amount of flour (or more). Choose between 1/4 cup to 1/2 of a coup. The dough of the bread should be completely sticky, but still able to break apart and pull together (especially after the first rise). While kneading the bread, the dough should be able to come together and stretch throughout the sides of the bowl, leaving it mostly clean (Try not to add too much flour, otherwise your bread will become dense and very thick). However, once you pick up the dough, it will still leave some flour behind. Try to knead as much as possible, for at least 5 – 10 minutes.

If you’re in a cooler temperature home, your dough should take longer to rise: Unfortunately, in the wintertime, when your home is cooler than normal, turn on the oven for at least 5-minutes and turn it off as the dough rises to the top of the bowl. The oven helps trap heat for a longer time and it’s the perfect environment for dough. Once you have the first rise, don’t overdo the dough by kneading it repeatedly. Knead the head and shape the dough as much as possible for about 3-4 minutes. Then, let it rest for a bit in a pan and ready it for a 2nd rise. When it’s fully risen in the bowl or pan you have, turn on the oven and bake!

Now, the question I get the most: How can I tell if the bread is fully baked and ready to go? I personally use a thermometer, which is digital and easy to use. Usually, a fully cooked break will be 180 – 200 degrees F. Your recipe that uses milk should wait until 200 degrees. Otherwise, 180 – 190 is perfect (or until it’s golden brown). Also, make sure you cool down the banked pan for about 15-minutes before serving. Then, take out the bread by overturning the pan and cooling it off on a plate, rack or towel to finish cooling.

If you love thanksgiving or any occasion, Macaroni and cheese come in handy in delivering you a plate filled with delicious and yummy cheese. Since I was little, I remember my mother making this almost every other week. It was our favorite dish growing up and still is as an adult. I have three little brats running around and macaroni and cheese keep them seated and watching T.V. I found this recipe through a friend of mine and it takes me and my kids favorite dish to the next level! You’ll love how creamy and flavourful the baked macaroni and cheese become. It has milk, butter (or margarine) and two of my preferred cheeses (Velveeta and Kraft Cheddar Cheese). Try to cook this dish the next time you have dinner with your family and see the amazement they will have on their faces! Note: Ensure you watch over the macaroni to avoid it burning or overcooking.

¼ cup chopped pecans

¼ cup maple syrup

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

• ¼ cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).

Place a sweet potato between two chopsticks for stability and knife guidance. Every ¼-inch along the length of the sweet potato, slice ⅞ of the way through, or until the knife hits the chopsticks. (The chopsticks will help prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the sweet potato.) Repeat with the second potato.

Brush the sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil. Place in a small baking dish and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake the sweet potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until soft.

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).

How perfect for autumn are these sweet potatoes? Not only are the root veggies just about to come into season, they pair so well with every dish we start craving around this time of year— and in turn, this maple pecan butter pairs so perfectly with them.
