Happy Valentine’s Day

Today, I wish to do something for myself on Valentines Day. Life has been VERY crazy and I can’t talk about it quite yet, but I have been able to handle it… The weekend before all the crazy we visited an area attraction, Big Cat Habitat

I am not a HUGE bird person, so I stepped out of the show and took pictures with no one else around but me. I had to shot the pictures through 2 fences and tiger’s seemed to like watching me. Here are just a few, Happy Valentines to us all !

First one is my Favorite.

Super Bowl Food and Memories from LONG Ago !

We have been working on a house rearrange and I found my Mom’s box of recipes at the bottom of a drawer. I love seeing her and my Grandmother’s handwriting.

Mom’s Orange Slush and it’s FANTASTIC ! I remember a HOT summer and my cousin Norma and I sitting on a beach with our kids running all around, playing in the water and the two of us having Slushes and a BALL with four little boys. Husband’s were cooking, and bring us drinks, it’s was one of my favorite times at my folk’s cabin.

This hot cheese dip is the one we all make, Mom would always say, “Just eat it, DON’T look at it, it tastes so much better than it looks !” We all would wait for her to say it every time.

This is my Grandma Glade’s recipe and that first ingredient is LARD ! ONE of the best cakes ever, with LARD. Grandma didn’t measure anything, it was a palm of LARD !

Have a fun super bowl

Making Homemade Brownies – The Quilt Ladies

Today is National Chocolate Cake day and let’s say…my cakes aren’t what I would call the best. BUT my brownie’s are! Or Hershey’s are!

Hershey Brownie Recipe You know when you pull out the Hershey Cocoa, the recipe is going to be perfect. HERE’S their website

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine (Use butter)
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
¾ cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa or HERSHEY’S SPECIAL DARK Cocoa
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

Place butter in large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with spoon after each addition. Add cocoa; beat until well blended. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat well. Stir in nuts, if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of the pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Frost if desired. Cut into bars. About 36 brownies.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING

1/3 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa

THEY are PERFECT ! !
