Chocolate Turtle Cake



  • 1 box Betty Crocker Devils Food Cake Mix (I'm sure any brand is fine; or Heavens to Betsy you could make your cake mix from scratch) *plus whatever needed to prepare mix - oil/eggs/water
  • 1 (14 oz) bag of caramels
  • 1/2 cup evaporate milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips




  • How to Make It



  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix cake mix according to directions on box. Pour 1/2 the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake 20-25 mins. Place other half of batter into refrigerator. While cake is baking, melt bag of caramels in microwave. After caramels are melted, mix 1/2 cup evaporated milk into caramel. *Be careful not to let caramels burn.
  • While the cake is still warm, pour the caramel mixture over the cake, then sprinkle 1 cup chopped pecans on the caramel mixture, then sprinkle 1/2 bag of chocolate chips over the nuts. Pour the remaining half of cake batter over the caramel, pecans, and chocolate chips. Cook for another 25-30 minutes or until cake springs back lightly when touched. Cool at least 30 mins. and drizzle with toppings (more caramel, pecans, whipped cream, etc). Serve with ice cream! We had coffee ice cream (chocolate for the kids - yes, we love some chocolate! BTW - Breyer's Natural Chocolate ice cream - no eggs!)
  • Verdict? This cake was yummy. However, my mom's version looks nothing like the one pictured on the Betty Crocker website (which I just found when I Googled 'chocolate turtle cake'. I think mom got her recipe from a friend). She said that her caramel sunk right to the bottom when she placed it on the cooked cake layer....I'm not sure what happened there. So, I'm not sure what finagling she did, but whatever it was, it worked!

    Boston Cream Poke Cake & a Celebration!



  • Boston Cream Poke Cake (with homemade Hershey's icing)
  • *yellow cake mix (I used the Duncan Hines Butter recipe yellow cake mix)
  • *ingredients called for on cake box (eggs/butter/water)
  • *large box of instant vanilla pudding (I used sugar free, fat free)
  • *amount of milk called for on pudding box (mine was 3 cups; I used skim milk)
  • for icing- (from my MIL)
  • *1 cup sugar
  • *1/3 cup cocoa (I used Hershey's Dark)
  • *1/4 cup milk
  • *1/4 cup butter
  • *1 teaspoon vanilla




  • How to Make It



  • To make cake - mix up cake batter according to directions on box. Bake as directed in a 13x9 pan. While cake is cooling, mix up vanilla pudding according to package directions. Poke holes in your cake with the end of a wooden spoon (see notes). Pour and smooth vanilla pudding over surface of cake.
  • To make icing - Mix sugar, cocoa and milk in a pot, bring to a boil over medium heat - stirring the entire time WITH A WOODEN SPOON. Boil for one minute (still stirring!) Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Mix until it just starts to thicken - don't let it thicken too much or it is very difficult to spread over cake. Pour over pudding layer of cake. Icing will 'set' on cake.
  • Now...notes! Don't poke your holes too deep into your cake. I had never made a poke cake before, so I just stabbed my spoon into my cake with no regards to depth. Also, I let my cake sit overnight which also made a difference - but most of my pudding and half of my icing soaked into my cake! I think no more than half way into the cake would be plenty deep. I also think the cake would be better eaten the day it is made, if you want to keep the nice layers. Otherwise, you have a very moist cake with some chocolate on top...which is fine, but not what I was going for. That being said, my mom said the cake tasted just like a Boston Cream doughnut. Believe it or not, I don't like Boston Cream doughnuts, or Chocolate Eclairs (I know, I'm weird like that), but I do like the cake versions!
  • If you do not want to mess with the homemade icing - the original version called for chocolate pudding over the vanilla pudding layer. You could also heat up canned icing and pour over the top. Of course, you could also make this cake using a homemade cake recipe, homemade pudding, with a chocolate ganache on top. Holla. Please send me some if you do that.

    Chocolate Chip Banana Bread



    You need to prepare this recipe :

        3/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
        1 1/2 cups sugar
        2 eggs
        1 1/3 tablespoons milk
        3 ripened bananas
        2 cups flour
        1 teaspoon baking soda
        About 1/2 bag chocolate chips (totally your preference on how much you like)

    How to make this recipe :

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In a large bowl, combine the sugar and the butter.  Use a mixer on low until combined.  Add eggs and blend.  Add milk and the bananas and mix for about 1 minute.  The batter may look at little lumpy – that’s ok!  Add the flour and the baking soda and mix until blended.  Stir in the chocolate chips.
    Spray 2 loaf pans with non-cook spray and divide the batter among the two pans.
    Bake for 45 minutes (mine took a little longer, but my ovens are not so great).  You should be able to insert a knife into the middle of the loaf and the knife should come out clean.
    Remove from the oven and let cool about 30 – 45 minutes.  Remove from pan and serve (I serve one and freeze one… wrap in plastic wrap and then with tin foil and freeze)

    Cream Cheese Pound Cake!

     4 stick butter, 4 cups sugar, 4 cups flour (cake or all purpose), 8 large eggs, 8 oz cream cheese, flavoring of choice! I leave my cream cheese, butter and eggs out to reach room temp. Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth, add eggs one or two at a time, then add flour one cup at a time. Last, add your flavoring. I used about 2 tsp each of vanilla and banana in this one! YUM! Grease and flour your tube pan and pour in batter. Make sure you lick the beater or your cake will not rise! LOL! Bake on 300 degree for 1 hour and 15 minutes, increase heat to 325 and bake another 30 minutes (if your cake is browning too fast, you may want to tent the top with foil.) You can test for doneness with a wooden skewer. If you insert and cake is not done (still wet), allow to bake a little longer until skewer can be inserted and comes out dry. Remove from oven and allow to cool a few minutes before removing from pan. This is the base for several other pound cakes I make! I will share some of the others! As always, my recipes are a guide. Be creative...make it your own!

    Crispy Cheddar Chicken



        4 large, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
        1-1 1/2 sleeve(s) buttery (Ritz) crackers
        1/2 cup milk
        2 cups grated/shredded cheddar cheese (approx.)
        Salt and pepper to taste
        1 tsp. dried parsley
        Sauce~Cream of Chicken Soup (recipe below)

    Preparation:

        Cut each chicken breast into 3 large chunks.
        In a food processor, process crackers into fine crumbs.
        Pour milk, cheese, and crackers in to 3 separate bowls. Mix salt and pepper into cracker crumbs.
        Dip each chunk of chicken on the milk, then cheese, then the crumbs. (During this process, cheese will fall of the chicken, and end up all in the crumbs. Don't worry about it. It's all good.)
        Put into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
        Once all the chicken is in the dish, sprinkle parsley over it. 
        Cover with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees, for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
        Serve hot with cream of chicken soup. (I usually make the soup while the chicken bakes--the last 10 minutes of baking is just the right amount of time.)

    Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup
     You need :

        3 tbsp. flour (+ more if needed)
        3 tbsp. butter
        1/2 cup chicken broth
        1/2 cup milk (I use SkimPlus)
        Salt and pepper to taste.

    How to make:

        Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. 
        Once melted, whisk in flour until smooth and bubbly.
        Remove from heat and whisk in the chicken broth and milk.
        Return saucepan to heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly, until the soup thickens. (If after awhile, it seems to not be thickening enough, stir in a little more flour.)
        Turn off heat, and add salt and pepper to taste.
        Use immediately or store in refrigerator until later.

    Homemade oven baked hot wings


    1 1/3 C flour
    2 T cayene pepper
    2 T black pepper, coarse ground
    1/3 C (plus a little) Chili powder
    2 1/2 tsp onion powder
    1 1/2 tsp salt, sea prefered for its fine grain
    *each of these measurements is approximate -- I tend to cook by eye, but this time tried to measure while eyeing the amount

    1 large bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce
    1 stick of butter


    How to Make It
    Combine dray ingredients in gallon Ziploc bag.
    Place 12 wing portions in the bag, close and shake until all portions are completely covered in the spice mixture.
    Using a sieve, shake off the excess flour-spice. I generally put 3 or 4 in the sieve at a time and shake until only a thin layer is left. By the way, I usually put a paper towel in the sink and sieve over it. When I'm done most of the flour-spice is contained on the paper towel and goes easily into the bag with the leftover flour and into the trash.
    Place wings on a standard plate and refrigerate for 30 - 40 minutes.
    Toward the end of the 30 minutes, pour about 1 1/2 T vegetable oil onto a standard cookie sheet (jelly roll pan, technically). Spread oil all over pan by brush or just by moving the pan back and forth.
    After the 30 minutes of refrigeration is finished, repeat flour-spice process for a second coating. Shake off excess and place side by side on the oil-prepared pan.
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    Flip the wings over once on the pan to coat both sides with oil.
    Place in the 375 degree oven and set timer for 60 minutes.
    After 30 minutes of cooking, remove briefly from the oven and turn each portion over to crisp and cook on the reverse side.
    Combine 1 bottle of Frank's RedHot sauce and 1 stick of butter in a small saucepan. Warm until butter melts.
    After 60 minutes (total) has passed, remove chicken from the oven and let rest 5 minutes.
    During the 5 minute rest, prepare "serving dish" and "refuse dish." Long ago, I began putting a paper towel inside a grocery/plastic bag and place it in a bread pan. Clean up is quick and easy!
    After 5 minute rest, place all wings in a metal or glass bowl. Pour sauce mixture over the wings.
    Place them in the serving dish. Grab a beer or margarita and ENJOY!

    Jalapeño Popper Dip


    6-8 slices of bacon, diced and cooked crispy

    2 8-oz packages of cream cheese, soft
    1 cup of mayonnaise
    4-6 jalapeno's, chopped and deseeded. The seeds will make it fiery hot.
    1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
    1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
    1/4 cup diced green onion

    Topping:

    1 cup of crushed crackers ( I used Ritz)
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    1/2 stick of butter, melted

    Preheat oven to 350.

    Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well.

    Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. The thicker the dip the longer it may need to warm up. I used this stoneware dish that is round and measures 12 inches across. My dip is usually about an inch thick.

    Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip.

    Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly
