New Blog!

This is a group of 13 friends and neighbors that get together once a month to enjoy good food and share recipes. Each month a different girl hosts and does all the cooking. Every few months we have a "couples night" which means we get to bring our husbands and two girls work together to host the increased crowd. By the years end, each of us has only had to cook one great meal and in exchange you get to enjoy 9 others!

Nora’s Austin memories

links first:


  Make sure you shred the American cheese

  It just felt like it was so much sugar and maybe that's why they tasted so good but if I made them again, I'd cut the sugar to 1 cup, (1/2 cup on turn #3 and 1/2 cup on turn #4)  Also, I watched the video she had of making these, but when it came to the turns I just had to read the recipe for each step.  The video wasn't as concise. 

  I did one and a half times this recipe for the 10 of us and used 1 cup each of cotija, cheddar and, pepper jack cheese.

   Because they have so much fat in them (butter, cheddar, bacon) they just don't get high.  But it does make them soft and delicious when reheated.


Apple Pudding Cake
1 cube (stick) of butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
4 large unpeeled apples, grated
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 cup chopped nuts (I like pecan or walnuts)

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and apples.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.  Stir in nuts.  Bake in a 9 x 13 pan at 350 for 45 minutes.

Sauce

2 cubes butter, no substitutes
1 cup of evaporated milk
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.  Serve warm over cake.
