Holiday Recipes....

[Allure Ranch]

[SIZE=12pt]I figured that with the Christmas Holiday coming up that possibly there are some individual's that are tried of the same old recipes. So just maybe you'd like to share some of yours with the rest of us. [/SIZE]

Home made roll ingredients:

* (5) pound bag of All Purpose Flour

* (2) cups of Sugar

*(5) teaspoons of Salt

*(2) cups of Crisco

* Yeast

1) Mix the entire (5) pound of flour with (2) cups of sugar and (5) teaspoons of salt. Then cut in the (2) cups of crisco into the mixture.

2) In a microwave proof bowl add (2) cups of water and heat for (1) minute only. Remove and add to warm water (4 &1/8th) teaspoons of yeast and (2) teaspoons of sugar to activate the yeast. (Trust me it works).....

3) After the yeast has risen add it to the dry ingredients in a LARGE mixing bowl. Mix together, then add (6) more cups of water and mix well. Cover and let rise.

4) After dough has risen you can spoon it out into your muffin tins just as it is. Let the dough rise again in your muffin tins and preheat your oven to 375 degree's. Once the rolls have risen place them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. This will depend on your oven and the size of your muffin tins. I personally us non-stick muffin tins that are overly large.

The dough that is remaining in the bowl will continue to keep rising so I just keep repeating the steps until all the dough is gone. I made about (21) rolls for Thanksgiving and I'll be doing the same for Christmas.

If you have any question about the recipe don't hesitate to ask.....

Happy Holidays

All of my recipes are in my head. I tried to teach my SIL how to do a couple of my secerets. It didn't work. She had some real failures. I keep telling her she has to watch me make them. When everyone comes to my house they all go in and visit and watch tv. No one comes in and cooks with me. So, they will never know and my secerets die with me. Well, Jessie comes in with me so she might know too.

My daughter brought what turned out to be the hit dessert for Thanksgiving at both our family's dinner and the in laws dinner. Very easy. No receipe needed.

Boggom layer of graham cracker crumbs.

Top with prepared banana pudding.

Top with sliced bananas.

Top with crushed pineapple.

Repeat if you want to.

Top with whipped topping decorated with maraschino cherrys, walnuts and drizzled chocolate.

It was beautiful as well as delicious. Honestly when she took the cover off of it I thought "Oh my gosh that's beautiful. Did my little girl do that?" LOL

I have one that is real easy to make w/kids, its sort of a candy/snack ( Salty/Sweet )

ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS

Pecan Caramel Candies or Peanut Butter Salties

50 mini pretzels

1 Pkg ( 13 oz ) Rolo Candies or Mini Peanut Butter Cups

50 Pecan Halves ( or walnuts )

Line baking sheet w/foil. Place Pretzels on foil. Top each w/unwrapped candy

Bake 250o for 4 min. or untill candy gets softened (candies will retain their shape ). Immediately place a pecan half on each candy and press down gently so that the candy sort of covers the top of the pretzels. Cool slightly . Refrigerate for 10 minutes untill set.

Be prepared to make lots of batches of these....they always go quick and are very addicting. They are also a fun, easy, quick thing to throw together for last minute gifts.

This is a super easy dip! We call it Jezebel, I don't know why.

One jar of apricot jam or preserves

one half jar of horse radish( stirred up in the jar to make sure the juices are mixed..

Mix it all together. and if you can put it in the refrig and let it sit overnight, its much better. It

is supposed to be hot and sweet too at the same time.

two blocks of Cream cheese( I take it out of the refrig for an hr. to soften a little bit.

Pour the apricot preserves/horse radish mixture over the cream cheese.

Serve with Ritz crackers.... You need Ritz crackers < tastes best with them, the salt and sweet and hot and creamy altogether is great.

Everyone I know asks what it is and when I tell them, they wrinkle their nose, but I MAKE them try it, and it is always a hit!

I baked this cake the other day for my fiance's birthday, and it was a HUGE success! Now my daughter wants it for her birthday, too! No frosting is needed, as it's built right in.

Sprinkle the coconut and pecans into a greased and floured 13 in x 9 in baking pan. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
