Lemon Buttons
While I love to cook, it is no secret that I am not a fan of baking. I CAN bake, it just isn’t my favorite thing to do. It is more of a science that cooking. With cooking I can experiment and throw whatever suits my fancy together and add a pinch of this and [...]
Orange Glazed Carrots
This is a favorite side around here. We just love it beyond what words could describe. It is super easy to make and is also really quick for those nights when you need to throw something together for the family or to impress unexpected guests. I ALWAYS keep several cans of carrots on hand just [...]
Strawberry Bread
When I make this bread it gets really quiet around my house. That means I make it often! Quiet around this place is SACRED! Usually there is a dull roar. But a roar none-the-less. And at times it is louder around here than a rock concert. So if I make something where everyone just sits around [...]
Iron Skillet Pork Chops With Muscadine Glaze
Recently when I was at the National Cornbread Festival I came across a booth that was selling Muscadine Juice. Not wine…JUICE! I was so thrilled…and then I tasted it. OhhhMyStinkinHeck, that is the best stuff I think I have ever put in my mouth. As a kid I can remember being at my grandparents house [...]

Caramel Pecan Delight Cake

Sep 212012

As I was standing in the grocery store talking with a friend one day we got on the subject of food. Yeah, I know, novel conversation topic considering where we were. But as the conversation flowed she was telling me about the best cake she has ever had and how simple it was. I always tell folks, I am not a baker, I am a cook. I love to cook but hate to bake. There are those times though that you need a go to dessert recipe filed away and this one was just perfect for me…and will be for you as well. But it needs to be made in a bundt cake pan, which I have never owned. So, I found myself gathering the ingredients and purchasing my first ever bundt pan. Let me tell you it was the best thing I have ever done!!! I am in love with the pan, for the simple fact that it yields the absolute best cake I have EVER put in my mouth. Moist and Delicious. I am telling you, you have to try this one!

I love that it requires few ingredients, is easy to make and turns out great no matter what your skill level is.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Brenda Wilson for this fabulous recipe!! Everyone who has tried it LOVES it. My neighbor Michael even gave it an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. And he is not usually one to brag on the things I make. It has now surpassed pineapple upside down cake as Bric’s favorite. I am telling you, it is really that good.

Caramel Pecan Delight Cake

1 box Butter Pecan Cake mix

3 eggs

1 cup water

1/2 cup oil

1 tub of Coconut Pecan Frosting

Caramel Syrup (optional but HIGHLY recommended)

Mix the cake according to the directions. Mine called for 3 eggs, 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of oil. Open the frosting, removing the foil seal and microwave for 20 seconds. Mic the frosting directly into the cake mix. Grease your bundt pan with shortening and then flour well. It is important not to use cooking spray or oil…if you do, it will stick. Bake on 350 degrees for about 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then invert the pan onto a plate, the cake should turn loose easily. Drizzle the top of the cake with caramel sauce, cut and serve.

Cinnamon Roll Apple Pecan Pie

Cinnamon Roll Apple Pecan Pie

This is one of those “Why in the heck didn’t I think of this before?” desserts. It is soooo good, and so easy. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare but looks and tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.

When I first saw a version of this on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it. Once I did, I knew I could make it even easier and still just as delicious. This has become our new favorite! A word of advice though…if you are going to take it somewhere make sure you buy those elastic things that look like mini pool covers. I think they are called bowl covers or something similar. Saran Wrap and Aluminum foil fit too closely and smear the frosting on the top. Or, I guess you could just wait until you arrived to put the frosting on. A tip about the frosting…you simply use what comes with the cinnamon rolls. I have personally found that I like using the store brand the best. The first reason is that it costs less. The second reason is that their frosting comes in a bag instead of a tub making it really easy to snip a corner and make pretty designs over the top!

Cinnamon Roll Apple Pecan Pie

1 can apple pie filling
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tube Cinnamon Rolls

1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Mix together apple pie filling and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
Separate the cinnamon rolls and cut each into quarters.
Place the quartered rolls into the bowl with the apple pie filling along with pecans.
In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar.
Mix well and add to the cinnamon roll/apple filling mixture.
Toss gently to combine.
Spoon the mixture over into a well greased pie pan.
Bake at 350 for about 28-32 minutes or until a deep, golden brown.
Cool for about 5 minutes and drizzle the frosting over the top.

Looking for that perfect pie recipe to go with your Thanksgiving dinner? Look no further. You have found the right one. Golly this is good!

Carmel Pecan Pie

1 (9 inch) Unbaked Pie Crust
36 individually Wrapped Caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Milk
3/4 cup White Sugar
3 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Pecan Halves

Preheat oven to 350 F. On the stovetop over low heat, combine caramels, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Stir frequently until smooth. Remove caramel mixture from the heat, set aside.

Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Slowly mix in the caramel mixture, so the eggs don’t scramble. Add the pecans. Pour pecan pie mixture into pie crust.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until edges of crust is golden brown.

Allow pie to cool so filling stops cooking and firms up.

Now, if you really think you need to add a little something extra…throw you a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Oh my, rich and delicious!
