Lickity Split! That’s How Fast You’ll Devour This Dessert

Are you a lemon lover? If so, this amazing pound cake is just what the dessert doctor ordered! It is so darn tasty! For some, lemon pound cake has become a southern family tradition.

“Our family was blessed to have a wonderful Great Aunt Beulah.  She had a big heart, and she loved all of her nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, as if we were all her own grandchildren.  She never forgot a birthday,  and she celebrated every special achievement and event with loving pride.  This is her famous lemon pound cake recipe.”

I must say Great Aunt Beulah sounds a lot like my grandmother! She made sure to remember everyone in our big, ever-growing family. And grandma also loved baking, almost as much as we loved eating her cakes and other delightful treats! Her signature lemon cake was very much like this recipe here – and that’s why I was so happy when I first tried this. Unfortunately, her recipe has since disappeared but this is as close as it gets!

Are you ready to whip up your very own lemon pound cake? We promise it’s not as hard as it sounds!

Impress all who sit at your table with this incredibly moist and mystifying Kentucky Butter Bundt Cake! Your tongue has never tasted anything quite so light, airy, and sweet.

“This Kentucky Butter Cake is CRAZY moist, buttery and coated with a sweet buttery sauce that crusts the outside and soaks into the cake making it amazing for days. What you get is a stunning, sweet, buttery, soft cake that is as perfect on its own as it is topped with strawberries and whipped cream!”

Using just a handful of natural ingredients that you probably already have lining the shelves of your pantry, your beautiful Southern bundt cake will be sitting on your prettiest platter in no time. Still, I like to make this cake the day before I’m serving it. Somehow those beautiful, buttery flavors seem to multiply when the cake has been standing overnight. The only problem is, how to keep my hands off the cake until it’s time to serve it!

“This will be my go to biscuit recipe from now on. I have not made scratch biscuits for quite awhile. These were so easy never again will I use canned biscuits.”

It really is that simple to make these delightful self-rising biscuits, folks. There’s no fancy footwork involved in this recipe. All you need is butter, some milk or buttermilk (which ever tickles your fancy), and self-rising flour. Once you make these delicious little biscuits, you won’t be able to keep your hands off of them. My family absolutely adores these homemade biscuits and devours them as soon as they come out of the oven!

These biscuits are perfect served with any kind of dinner, but I have been known to munch on them as they are… Straight from the oven, with some butter on top – yum! Or maybe add a slice of your favorite cheese, and some marmalade. I’m telling you, it’s the perfect snack with a cup of tea!

Once you give these a try, you will never want to have another store bought biscuit again. These are the real deal!

The first time I heard of this I just couldn’t believe it. I had to try – and it really works!

There are so many recipes that I use that call for marshmallow cream. Seriously, I’ve considered taking out a loan to buy stock in the white, fluffy goodness. Okay, maybe I’m not that far off the deep end, but I do use marshmallow fluff in a lot of desserts.

I’ve found that making my own fluff is much easier and less expensive than purchasing it every week. Do you want to know something else? It only takes TWO ingredients to whip up a batch of ooey, gooey marshmallow madness. I am not kidding! Just two ingredients! You are going to be so super surprised at what they are your head just might spin.

The best part is – this recipe really makes the most perfect, fluffy marshmallow cream you could think of. I guarantee, if you give this one a try you will never go back to your old ways again!

Meatloaf so good you might just lose your mind while eating it. Don’t worry, we mean that in a good way 🙂

Stop what you’re doing right now, grab a pound of ground round, and get to crackin’ on this magnificent meatloaf recipe. Seriously, folks, this meatloaf is to die for. One bit, and you’ll be sold for life. The real fun begins when you catch a whiff of this savory meat concoction wafting through the halls of your home while it cooks. Mmmm! We can taste it now! I know that when I was a kid my mother would often make this same meatloaf and my sisters and I could literally smell it from outside when we got off the school bus. It was a heavenly aroma!

Covered in a zesty sauce, the inside of this loaf is moist and meaty, perfect for any family dinner night. Make it a truly hearty meal when paired with golden mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and hot Pillsbury crescent rolls. You can always add dessert but you probably won’t have room because you’ll be stuffed full of meatloaf.

Yes, you will have seconds. Shoot, you might even have thirds if your family members haven’t gobbled this meaty goodness all up beforehand. This meatloaf recipe is nothing less than impressive and I’m sure you’ll be making it for years to come. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: If you don’t want to use fresh onions or don’t have them on-hand you can use dried onions or even an envelope of Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix. If you opt for the latter just cut down on the salt you add to the recipe.

Oh Look, The Devil Has Shared His Egg Recipe!

Alright, alright, Old Lucifer didn’t give us his personal recipe for Deviled Eggs because we all know the Devil doesn’t share, especially a dish this good. Now, if you’re looking for a great appetizer to pass at an upcoming picnic or party, these to-die-for Deviled eggs are the ticket. Never again will you use another recipe for this classic eggy delight. Smooth, creamy filling nestled in an egg white hits the spot every time. You just wait and see mister; these eggs will be gone before you can sing the chorus of, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.”

Now, I want to stress to you that no picnic is complete without some form of deviled eggs on the menu. Seriously, who can enjoy hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill without deviled eggs?

If you are looking for a wonderful deviled egg recipe then this is the one for you!

The Secret’s Out on This Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken!!

Are you ready to uncover that grill and dive into the season? This Hawaiian Huli Huli chicken recipe will get you started on the right foot. This mouthwatering chicken is super tender and flavorful with a tempting sweet and savory combination.Packed brown sugar combines with soy sauce and ginger for authentic sweet Hawaiian-inspired flavors you’ll love. This recipe serves 6 and will be your new go-to recipe when you are ready to fire up the grill! Get your lei on and soak up that sun while cooking up this tasty fire-grilled dinner!

My little ones really enjoyed this chicken because of the sweetness. I substituted the brown sugar for a stevia baking blend that I have on hand but it didn’t taste as good as the brown sugar version.

My family could detect that I used stevia instead of sugar, too. They grumbled and complained about it but I told them that at least their glycemic index wasn’t being impacted LOL They weren’t amused. If I were you, I’d go the brown sugar route for this recipe.
