Chocolate Cake

Oh YUM! 

Chocolate Cake!

Who can resist?

This recipe looks well used - I will have to try it soon!

It was in Wilma June Faires Parker Vissotzky's recipe box.

The mystery lies in where the recipe originated...

perhaps Bernice, her mother

Another relative?

A church frined?

A fellow school teacher?

The possibilities are endless and will remain a mystery!

Please go through some of your recipes this weekend

and write down where you got it or had it first! 

Someone down the line may thank you for it! 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Chocolate cake, anyone?

Dump Cake for a manic Monday

Dump Cake.

That just about says it all. 

Posted on a Monday after a full moon. 

Not just ANY full moon. 

The Perigree Moon!

The brightest and fullest full moon since 1993.

THAT just about says it all right there in a nutshell.

It has been one of THOSE Mondays.  One big humungous dump cake!

I think I could eat an entire dump cake myself! 

Except for one thing...

2 cubes of oleo.

2 CUBES?

OLEO?

(oops, that is TWO things! Told you it has been one of those days!)

I am assuming June Vissotzky meant 2 TB of margarine -

although I prefer to use butter.

It's more natural!

(or maybe I have just listened to my mother and Mrs. Deen too much!)

Regardless what kind of Monday YOU have had,

this makes an EXCELLENT and EASY cake -

Just whatever you do DON'T STIR IT TOGETHER!

I am not speaking from experience or anything... lol!

I wonder if June ever felt like her day was one big dump cake?

She was an art teacher in Stephenville, TX and

well-loved for her infectious laugh and sense of humor.

May YOUR day end as sweetly as this dump cake!

Strawberry Cake

Yummmmmm! 

Strawberries are starting to be in season...

so here is the recipe for the strawberry cake

 that was in my mother-in-law's recipe box. 

But I think this recipe is really from Bernice Neighbors Faires Parker. 

It is her writing at the bottom of the recipe. 

And I can't wait to try this. 

I think I could eat just the recipe for the frosting!  

Guilty pleasures.....!

Marble Pound Cake

Marble Pound Cake!  All in 5 simple ingredients (not counting the number of eggs here you know!) actually, it is 6 items, because either June or Bernice left the chocolate out of the ingredients - but clearly it says to "Mix all but the packet of chocolate"!  

OOPS!

I think she meant MAYBE a box of chocloate pudding since there is also a vanilla pudding box involved.  But (after my diet LOL) I will have to try this one too...

because my son would love it up at college and it SHOULD mail well! 

So stay tuned for more Marble Pound Cake! 

Unless you beat me to it. 

Let me know!

Apple Blossom Cake

The Apple Blossom Cake is still calling me! 

I think this is Bernice Faires Parker's recipe. 

It looks like her handwritingg. 

This is a good, easy cake to have on hand when a neighbor stops by, if it even lasts that long! 

No neighbors or friends?  Then you REALLY need to make this cake!  

 Include a couple of slices in your lunch and offer to share....

VOILA!   Instant friends!  

Chunks of apple with nuts and spices...how on earth could you possibly go wrong?
