Butterscotch Bundt Cake

The perfect cake for Fall, so easy and yummy too! A lady from our church whom I dearly love passed this recipe on to me so I knew ahead of time that it had to be a winner. I have never used one of her recipes that I was dissapointed with.

Also it's really easy to convert this one to gluten free which I LOVE!

Pumpkin Parfait

It's fall y'all and I love this cooler weather.

I made a Coconut Cake for my daughter and family and no it was not gluten free. Since then I have been wanting a dessert sooo bad but due to weight gain I have refrained. Recently I came across a pumpkin cheese cake dessert and it sounded wonderful and easy with not too many calories so I decided to modify it a bit and make a parfait. This way it would be small and we could eat a little at a time. It was a hit. Neither honey nor I are a fan of pumpkin but we ate every bite of this, over a period of time of course. It was really good!!

Here's the way I made it.

Pumpkin Parfait

serves 6 to 8

Ingredients:

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree

3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 1-ounce package sugar free cheesecake-flavored instant pudding mix (or 1/3 of a non-sugar free instant pudding may be used)

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 12-ounce container frozen whipped topping, plus extra for garnish if desired

Instructions:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese until light and creamy.
2. Add the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and pudding mix and beat until completely mixed, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.
3. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix again until well combined.
4. Change your stand mixture attachment to the wire whisk. On slow speed, fold in the tub of Cool Whip until well combined.
5. Allow the mixture to sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm up.
6. Dip or pipe into your favorite tall class and add whipped topping for garnish if desired.

Company and Gluten Free German Chocolate Bundt Cake

I recently put some finishing touches on my decorating and this is all folks. I don't like to spend a lot of money just a little bit every year.

We've had a fun day today, Honey's parents came for a brief visit and we were able to show them around town. After a trip through the Hills we went to guess where? YOU GUESSED IT "Crystal Grill" for lunch and they agreed with everyone else it was wonderful. Then we continued to tour downtown and Grand Blvd and we visited The Museum of the Mississippi Delta, which I think they really enjoyed. After our museum tour Dad was more than ready to return home, you know how Dad's are they can't be away from home long! :-)

 We didn't get a thing to drink!!!!

Gluten Free Potatoes, Beef and Peppers

I may be early but I couldn't wait any longer!

 I took some flowers that were in the plants sent when my Mom passed back in 2004 and made an arrangement for my table. I am kind of a sentimental person.

I am in the fall mood and I know it may be early to drag out fall decorations but today I couldn't stand it any longer. While watching "Julie and Julia" I decorated for fall. Well, what little I could with what I had on hand. Now I need to go shopping and buy a few things to add to my collection.

By the way have you seen "Julie and Julia"? I enjoyed it but I've been trying to cut back on what I eat and I thought I would starve before the end of the show.

Tonight for supper I made a new potato dish. I had some potatoes and yellow peppers that were getting old so I needed to use them. Can't waist yellow peppers I love those things. Here's what I did step by step you can alter, add to, multiply it or leave it just like it is!

I took:

1 lb ground beef (I used venison) and browned it with salt and pepper added. While my venison was browning I sliced a large yellow pepper into strips.

When the venison was good and brown I poured it into a colander to drain and added about 1 tsp of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) to the same pan and added the sliced yellow peppers to this. I let the peppers begin to cook while I peeled and sliced four medium potatoes.

Then in a casserole dish I placed a layer of potatoes topped with the venison. On this I sprinkled garlic salt and black pepper. Then I added a layer of the yellow peppers I did this same thing again.

Then I mixed up 2 packages of Lipton cream of chicken cup a soup and poured over my dish.

I cooked this real slow covered in a 350 degree oven for  about 2 hours you could also put it in a crock pot and cook all day.

It turned out really good I was amazed that when I went to the kitchen to store the leftovers Honey had eaten all but one helping.

Check back later and see what else I come up with! Thanks for visiting!!!!
