Sour Cream Chocolate Cake
This one is not old fashion but you need to try it.
What you’ll need:
1 box devil food cake mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
2 cans milk chocolate frosting
1/2 cup sour cream
a 9 x 11 x 2 cake pan
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cake pan lightly and dust with flour.
Mix eggs, buttermilk and oil. Add cake mix and mix well then add 1 cup sour cream and mix for at least 1 minute. Add some water if needed.
Pour into your pan and level by tilting and shaking and bake. Check after 25 minutes and when you tap on top it should spring back (DON’T OVER BAKE) I leave mine in the pan and let it cool then ice heavy with light and fluffy chocolate icing.
Take two cans of milk chocolate frosting and 1/2 cup sour cream. Mix together until light and fluffy.

Apple pie
Apple pie
Always use fresh apples when you can.
2 Cups apples
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
1 stick real butter
3/4 cups All Purpose flour
2/3 cups sugar
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place crust in a 9 in pie pan. Mix 1/2 of the sugar and cinnamon. Lay flat the sliced apples in the crust. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon. Mix the other 1/2 sugar and the flour, then add butter and cut in and sprinkle on the apples.
Bake at 400 for about 40 minutes. It should be light brown. Serve hot or cold.
I would reheat and serve with a slice of cheese, real whipped cream, cool whip, or ice cream.

Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Pie
What you need:
1- 9in. pie shell in a 9 in. pie plate
You can make your own but I now take the easy way out and get them at the grocery.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. I take the top rack out, and put pie on middle shelf.
1 and 1/3 cup canned dry packed pumpkin
1 and 1/2 cup milk (I use skim)
3 Large Eggs
1 cup of sugar or Splenda, I use it because I am diabetic
1/2 tsp salt
1 and 1/4 tsp cinnamon (level)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
Dump everything in a bowl and mix with a wire whip. Next pour into your shell and put into oven. Bake for 35 minutes. Check if the crust is getting brown. Make hole in a piece of aluminum foil so it will cover about 1 and 1/2 inches on the outside, and lay on pie.
Now if you are lucky enough to have a pie shield, now is the time to use it because a burned crust will ruin the best pie. Finish baking for about 20 minutes, check the center. It should be firm.

Yeast Rolls
Yeast Rolls
FOR 4 dz. (For 2 dz.)
1 oz Quick active dry yeast (1/2 oz)
1/4 cup melted butter (1 Tbsp & 2 tsp)
3/4 cup sugar (5 Tbsp & 2 tsp)
1 1/2 cup warm water (110) (3/4 cup)
1 tsp salt (1/2 tsp)
6 1/4 cup plain flour (3 cup + 1 Tbsp & 2 tsp)
I use a kitchen aid artisan with a dough hook. I run hot water in bowl to warm. Then I add 1/2 of water to yeast and mix let sit until foamy.
Mix the butter, sugar, salt, and the rest of your water then add yeast and about 1/2 of the flour. When it is mixed well, start adding the rest of the flour a little at a time until all is used then mix until it pulls away from the bowl. Remove hook and spray lightly with vegetable oil.
Cover with towel and let rise until it doubles in size. Then knock down and place in the fridge until cool. I roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick and cut with a 2 inch biscuit cutter and roll them into a ball and put on a cooking sheet about 1 inch apart. I do this so they will all be the same size. Brush with melted butter. Cover and let rise to double the size. Then place into a 360 degree Fahrenheit pre-heated oven until golden brown. I then brush again with butter.

Cole Slaw
Easy Cole Slaw
Grind whatever amount you want of green cabbage and a little amount of carrot that you want. Get a bottle of Kraft Slaw Dressing. Add the amount you want .Add a little black pepper. But do not salt it because it will drain the water out of it and make a mess! Salt it on your plate.

Cranberry Sauce
It is low in everything but taste!
Take one twelve oz. package of cranberries
One cup of equal
One cup of water
Bring to a boil then turn down to a slow boil. Leave uncovered and stir often. Cook down to a thick mush. They will set when cold. I have done this for years. We can not find the berries off season so I get me a bunch and put two bags in a Zip-lock and freeze. They’re still good in September. This is not “Foods of the Southlands,” BUT it sho’ is good!
