Bon Apetit!

This is one of my favorite cake recipes. It's almost like a pound cake and tastes best 1 to 2 days after you bake it.

7-Up Cake

1 1/2 cups margarine
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons lemon extract
3/4 cup 7-up or Sprite

Cream sugar and shortening and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add flour. Beat in lemon extract and 7-Up. Pour batter into well-floured bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/4 hours or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once cooled, remove from pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Wow Dawn... looks like I got you going eh?

The Roadside Potatoes sound escpecially yummy to me!

Now I'm hungry and have to go to work...where I have a choice of such delicasies as Sausage Dogs, Frozen Burritos, and (gag) Lil Smokies!
Maybe some nice customer will take pity on me and make a dinner run? (fingers crossed)

Will post a couple recipes tonight (this morning) when I get home from work...taking a few cookbooks with me! :laughing2:

Cleo - Lil Smokies are ok if you wrap them in Pilsbury cresent roll dough and bake them in the oven. Kind of like pigs in a blanket.

do you think if I made it with Veggie Ground meat (boca), it would be ok??

This one is a favorite at pot-lucks and picnics!

BROCOLLI CASSSEROLE

1 10 oz. package frozen brocolli
1 1/4 cups milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup grated cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cook brocolli in small amount of water 3 minutes, drain.
Pout milk into small saucepan, bring to boil. Cool to lukewarm.
Mix eggs with salt and nutmeg, add milk and cheese, beating constantly.
Pour into greased baking dish, add brocolli.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean.
Serve Hot.

Every time I make this, someone asks for the recipe!

Cleo

Cleo I just mixed up 1/4 recipe of the easy hot and sweet pickles. Can't wait till they are ready.

I am also going to mix up that 7-UP cake this weekend.

I've copied the Peach receipe, sounds good and I just happen to have some in the freezer. Will try it.
Do we have a receipe thread?

Jeannie

I made the Tot Casarole with veggie meat, and I put a ton of cheese on top.. and it was YUMMY!! :
and last night I made the roadside potatoes, and everyone LOVED them!!

Thanks!

Yes, we do have another Recipe thread, but I started this one before I knew it was here, and was too lazy to re-type the Peach recipe, so I just kept addin to this one! :

Glad some of the recipes got sampled, I was camping all week-end and my cooking was limited! :laughing2: But I always buy meat in the BIG packages, marinade it in smaller portions and different flavors, and freeze it...

.so this camping trip we had Sweet/Hot/Smoky chicken breasts cooked over an open fire, Bakers and corn on the cob, both slatherd in butter, wrapped in foil, and cooked over the fire also.. YUMMMM
(just don't forget to poke the heck out of the spuds so the butter soaks in and they cook through)

:flower:Lilyrose, I also made a small batch of the pickles last Thursday, they didnt get turned for a couple days, but so far they smell Good!

Darn, now I'm hungry again!

Cleo

And I didn't get my cake baked. Too many other things going on. I'll try it sometime this week.

I'm like you Ckeo, everytime I check this thread I get hungry. And we are having a very basic meal tonight. Bacon, scrambles eggs and raisin bread toast. Don't feel much like cooking and am hungry for eggs. Good thing my hubby will eat anything I fix.

I'm glad the tator tot casserole and roadside potatoes turned out well. I never thought about making them with veggie meat since we're big meat eaters at my house. Now I know in case anyone else asks! Sounds good putting cheese on top. Think I'll try that next time.

Just wanted to pull this thread up again, it's been a long time, and everyone is showing a renewed interest in cooking lately...Gee, could it be the Holidays?

Wer've started several Recipe threads, and I'm too lazy to try to merge them, this one is just too long to retype! :LOL:
