The Best Pumpkin Dessert Hands Down Pumpkin Dump Cake @savedbyloves

My mom has been on a dump cake kick lately.  I am new to that entire dessert movement and though skeptical at first, this pumpkin piece of divinity has made me a believer.  Seriously, the best pumpkin dish I have put in my mouth.  Not only is it insanely good, it takes under 5 minutes of prep and 50 minutes in the oven.  This is a keeper.

Ingredients

3 eggs

3/4 c butter melted

12 oz can condensed milk

29 oz can of pure pumpkin

1 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 c white sugar

1/2 c brown sugar

1 box of yellow cake mix

1 1/4 c Pecan halves

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Spray 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking oil

Mix pumpkin, eggs, condensed milk, cinnamon, brown and white sugar in a large mixing bowl until well blended.

Pour the mixture into the sprayed baking pan.  It will be runny like apple sauce.

Sprinkle entire box of cake mix evenly on top of pumpkin mixture.

Evenly pour or spoon melted butter over all of the cake mix, leaving no dry areas.

Evenly disperse pecans on top of the butter.

Bake a 350° for 50 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Dollop whip cream or vanilla ice cream on top and enjoy!

Amazing Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup Recipe to Die For from @savedbyloves

 

This week’s food theme at our pitch in Bible study was soup, in honor of the onset of fall.  It doesn’t get much more fall than butternut squash, right?  This was my first time cooking with this squash.  It was difficult to peel, but other than that, the recipe was easy and the outcome was delicious.  That is an understatement.  This soup was amazing.  I will be making it frequently.  I had several people insist upon having the recipe.

Butternut Squash

Here is the recipe I used: Crockpot Butternut Squash Recipe.  I followed it exactly except I doubled it and cooked it on high for 4 hours instead of low for 7 hours.

BEST.  Soup.  EVER.

Today I am sharing a yummy, quick and easy recipe for avocado egg salad.  Serve up something a little different  at your next get together.  The potato salad won’t be missed!

Easy Fried Green Tomato Recipe

by

Easy Fried Green Tomatoes

 This year my tomatoes are taking their own sweet time ripening to the red that we all know and love.  That, combined with the fried food theme at last week’s Bible study pitch in, prompted me to make fried green tomatoes for the first time ever.  I would make them everyday if eating fried food didn’t creep me out so much.  They were simply delicious.

How to make Fried Green Tomatoes

I bought a cheapo deep fryer a couple of years ago to Mr. SBLC his beloved chicken wings (See Amazing Hot Wings Recipe).

Here is the recipe I used (from My Recipes):  Fried Green Tomatoes

I followed it exactly except I dropped mine in the deep fryer for 2 minutes instead of frying on the stove.

They are sooooo yummy, I am hooked.  We have tons more green tomatoes out there, just waiting to be battered and fried!

The only ingredient not from Aldi was the cucumber, which came from the garden, but you can get them there too! This dish was a big hit with my family and with the group. I am guessing it will be with yours too!

Rice (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

PEANUT SAUCE:

In a small saucepan, whisk peanut butter, lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, hot sauce, milk, honey, soy sauce, cinnamon and crushed red pepper. Cook over medium heat until it starts to boil.
Slowly add water until desired consistency. Set aside.

In a large skillet  heat 2 tablespoons oil, add chicken and cook for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Add remaining oil, 2 cloves garlic, broccoli, carrot, peppers and onion and sauté for 3 minutes.

[pinit]Red White and Blue Food Recipes Easy Delicious Salad @savedbyloves[pinit]

Our small group meets weekly for a potluck dinner, with a food theme that determines what we bring.  In light of the upcoming 4th of July holiday, this week’s theme was red, white and blue recipes.  We found a wonderful Red, White, & Blue Watermelon Salad with Watermelon Vinaigrette Recipe at FiveHeartHome.

Fourth of July Recipes

It was super easy and quick to make.  I love the little watermelon stars!  I wasn’t sure how blueberries, watermelon, feta, roasted almonds and the homemade vinaigrette would all hit my tastebuds, but it was wonderful.  It was the “star” of the potluck too.  Head over to the link for the details!

7. While chicken is cooking, coat a skillet with cooking spray and add 1 tsp olive oil and onion over med-high heat. When onion is tender and slightly browned (approximately 5 mins), add the prepared spaghetti squash (run a fork from stem to stern to remove the spaghetti center of the cooked squash right into the skillet).
