Fondant

I love to watch cake decorating shows and see them work with fondant. So yesterday I tried it. I loved working with it. The cake was simple but very cute. All white with a pink border and flowers on top. I will definitely use it again, maybe I will flavor it next time.

Favorite Friday Cheesy Apples

Today recipe was first brought into my house when I had my first little boy, by a wonderful neighbor. It has been a family favorite for almost 8 years now. It is great because it works for both a breakfast and a desert and I know people who serve it as a side dish.

Cheesy Apples

8 apples peeled cored and sliced
1/2 lb velveta cheese cubed
1 C sugar
3/4 c flour
1/2 c butter

Place Apples in a 9x9 pan
Mix remaining ingredients until soft dough forms, easily done with a mixer.
spoon topping over apples, Bake at 370* for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Can be served right from the oven or cooled and is great with Ice cream.

I must admit that I have never made a single batch.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

While I am away from home I decided to put a favorite recipe that I can remember without my cookbook. It is also a great recipe to make with kids, because it is so simple.

Pumpkin spice cookies

1 spice cake mix
1 14 oz can pumpkin

How easy is that. Optional ingredients are one egg, and my kids love to add chocolate chips.

Mix ingredients together and drop dough on a cookie sheet. bake at 350 for 15-20 mins.

I hope you enjoy.

Favorite Friday

I will be doing a favorite recipe each Friday, or one that I have tried recently.

This year my church doesn't start until 1pm and lasts about 3 hours. Needless to say we are all hungry when we get home. I have found that crock pot meals are wonderful.
