Mama Reagan's Red Velvet Cake

posted Jan 16, 2011 1:23 PM by Kat Norman

2 1/2 cups of plain flour
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tsp. backing soda
1 tsp. dry cocoa powder
1 cup buttermilk (I have used plain milk and it's been fine)
1 1/2 cups of oil (use 1 cup of plain oil---and 1/2 cup of Orville Redenbackers Popcorn oil...this is important for a moister cake)***
2 eggs
1 (1 oz) bottle of red food coloring
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla (real)


(*** A long time ago you could find Wesson Oils in a butter flavor.  My Grandmother would use 1 cup of it and 1/2 cup of regular oil.  You can't find this anymore so we have substituted the Popcorn oil.  It is very heavy so we have changed the amounts listed above.***)

Sift together the dry ingredients.  Add the next ingredients in order and mix well after each addition.  The batter is going to be a little thick.  Bake in layered pans that have been greased and floured.  Bake for 25-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 Stick of BUTTER
1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese
1 (1 pound) box of 10X sugar
1 tsp. vanilla (real)
1 cup of chopped pecans (optional)

Let the butter and cream cheese soften at room temp.  Cream together well with a mixer.  Add sugar and blend well.  Add vanilla blend well.  Add nuts and mix by hand.  Spread on a totally cooled cake.

(another note....I make this in a 9 x 13 pan and use one batch of the icing.  But if you make it in layers....make a double batch.  Your family will love it!)

Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Dipping Chips by Gail Cuffe

posted Sep 24, 2010 2:12 PM by Kat Norman


 
 
Salsa Sauce
2 oranges (juiced, with or w/out pulp)
1 T brown sugar
1 T Jelly (your choice)
 
Salsa
2 sweet apples, peeled and cored (Pacific Lady, Pink Lady, Braeburn...)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
1 kiwi (peeled)
2 pounds of fresh strawberries (hulled)
 
Cinnamon Chips
soft, flour tortillas (I use medium-sized with about 12 / package)
cinnamon
sugar
       
 
1. In the bowl that you intend to use for mixing the salsa, mix "salsa sauce" ingredients together until brown sugar and jelly dissolve in orange juice.
 
2. Chop salsa ingredients to the texture that you prefer. As you chop, put fruit into salsa mixing bowl and toss with orange juice mixture from time to time. (This keeps the apples crisp and prevents them from browning so quickly.)  When finished adding all of the fruit, mix the salsa until the fruit is well covered with sauce. Chill for a couple of hours at least.
 
3. I really like these "homemade" chips, but Stacey's cinnamon pita chips are a good substitution if you don't want to bother.
  •     Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  •     Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil!!!  You will need a new piece of foil after each batch that you bake.
  •     Mix cinnamon and sugar to your taste so that you have about 1 1/2 cups of the mix.
  •     With kitchen shears, cut tortillas into about 12 wedges, then spread them out onto foil-lined sheets without overlapping them.
  •     Lightly sprinkle chips with water. Then, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mix.
  •     Bake chips at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes then turn the tray in the oven and bake for about 3 to 5 more minutes. You have to watch them carefully. You only         want to let the edges get golden brown. Once they start browning, they can quickly burn. (I often take the browned ones off to cool and then stick the "unbrowned"         ones back in.)
    •   The cinnamon and sugar actually crystalize on top of the chips. If this hasn't happened, they aren't done.
    •   Remove the entire sheet of foil and allow the batch to cool, then store them. If the chips are done, they will easily "peel" off of the foil. If not, you can stick the         undone tortillas back in the oven to bake a little longer.
Makes a ton (a couple quarts).

Kat's home made Mac and Cheese

posted Sep 8, 2010 10:34 AM by Kat Norman   [ updated Sep 8, 2010 11:30 AM ]

1 box of Barilla brand elbow noodles (cooked and drained)
1 one pound box of Velveeta
1 8oz. sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese
Milk
Salt and Pepper
(options---can use any cheeses or any amounts you want--this is the way my family loves it!)

Cook noodles to desired doneness.  Leave a little al dente because they will cook more in the oven.  Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Drain the pasta and put into a large bowl--(LARGE ONE). Rough chop the velveeta and put into bowl, add the sour cream and all the cheese.  Pull up those sleeves and stir really well.  The cheese and such will start melting with the heat from the cooked pasta.  Add milk---there is not really an amount--but you want the mixture to be wet. (the baking will dry it out some--so make it really wet)  Grease a large baking dish---13 x 9 or bigger.  Pour the mac and cheese in the pan.  Cook for about 30 to 45 minutes.  The mac and cheese will be bubbly and ooey gooey!

White BBQ Sauce

posted Jul 1, 2010 6:11 AM by Kat Norman

Got this recipe from Southern Living Magazine and it's wonderful.  It is great on grilled chicken and also wonderful on a veggie platter. 

1 1/2 Cups of Mayo
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1 garlic clove minced
1 Tbs coarse ground pepper
1 Tbs spicy brown mustard
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp horseradish

Stir until blended.  Cover and chill 2 to 4 hours before serving.  Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

This stuff is fabulous!  It does not have the big bite of the "horsey" either.  Will be one we have for picnics a bunch in our house!
