Raisin Pie

How do you take something as amazing as pie and ruin it?

Make an entire pie out of it!

Here's how to enjoy this.

Step One - Make this pie exactly as described.

Step Two - Throw it away and eat a fudge round instead.

Also...I'm pretty certain the deadline has passed for this contest.

Just repeat Step Two from above and it will be ok.

White Chocolate Mousse Tart

If the Keebler elves came up with this recipe it has

to be sinfully delicious.

Mostly sin...but still delicious.

Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars

I could be wrong on this but I'm pretty sure

St. Peter passes these out when you first get to

heaven as a welcoming gift.

Idaho Potato Cake

The sheer amount of carbs in this recipe lets

me know it will be super tasty.

Carbs...the drug dealers of the food world.

Fried Green Tomatoes

This is an absolute staple of southern cooking.

I'm am not a fan of raw tomatoes at all.

Fry them up though,

you got yourself a winner.

Crunchy Apricot Cake & Sweet Potato Cake

Here's a "two for the price of one" recipe.

I was never a huge fan of apricot but 

throwing it in a cake definitely helps

possibly swaying the jury.

Sweet Potato Cake.

You had me at sweet potato... 

Graham Cracker Salad

It says salad so it has to be healthy.

No...you can't change my mind on this.

Doubled Applesauce Cake

Typewriter skill level 100 on this recipe.

Look kids...this is where the

"Typewriter" font came from. 

Never Fail Pie Crust

I know it says "No Fail" but there's also a

reason that there are warning labels telling

people not to stick their hands into

wood chippers too...

Beaumont Inn's Corn Pudding

What I love about this recipe is:

1.) The cool little card it's written on.

2.) The care someone took to write this.

If this recipe tastes as good as it's written, you're in for a treat.

Date or Raisin Cookies

I see what you did here Granny but I'm not falling for it.

Dates are just the bigger brother of raisins.

Raisin Pineapple Rice Pudding

The introduction of pineapple into this recipe does not offset the use of raisins.  

Clearly the love of raisins that my granny had is not shared by her grandson.

Pound Cake

Apparently mixer speed is pretty important.

Chocolate Scotcheroos

Ain't no party like an AARP meeting!  I loved going to those with my grandmother.

What kid doesn't want 23 grandparents making over them at the same time?

Plus, they had the best potlucks, especially when they showed up with treats like this one.

Amazing Coconut Pie

After looking at just the ingredients in this recipe, I can see just how amazing this one could be.

Brown Sugar Pound Cake

This recipe has soo much win.  First, the amount of sweetness in this cake could stop a moving truck.  Second, it's typed...with a real typewriter. 

Generationally speaking, this is practically hammer and chisel.

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad / Fruit Muffins

Here's a two for one shot.

Physicians Mutual just trying to connect with their customers and keep them healthier.

I guess you'd say they were trying to protect their investments.

Haystacks Cookies

I think these would be rather tasty in the fall.

The whole family decided to get in on the action for this recipe.

The kiddos are almost as awkward as I am mixing things.

When in doubt though, we all turn to the expert to keep things in between the lines.

The recipe calls for a "teaspoon" scoop but we went with a cookie scooper.  We both thought that the teaspoon reference was an older term our grandmother's used when talking about a regular spoon.

We played around with the time since that was left up to the imagination.  We also decided that 300 degrees was probably a better heat.  It took about 20 minutes at that temp to get the job done.

BOOYAH!!!  Super tasty goodness!

The recipe we used made a little over 2 dozen cookies.

Good Lord...these are beastly good.  Chewy, crunchy, loveliness.

Mods:

We used sweetened coconut because that was the only kind we could find.

Time and temp was not given so we ended up at 300 degrees for around 20 minutes.

Final Thoughts:

Pretty easy to make.

Be prepared to eat a lot of these.

Definitely for fans of Samoa cookies.

A solid 4 thumbs up.

We're definitely going to make these again and will update the recipe if we end up tweaking anything else.

Pinto Bean Cake

Nothing says delicious cake like a good ole pinto beans.
At least we know this cake is good for your heart.

Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake

This one is not for the faint at heart.
