SPICY BANANA PECAN CAKE

This is another old recipe clipping from my late mother's shoe boxes of recipes. I haven't made this but it sounds good, without the raisins. I hate them! The top amounts are a little hard to read. They are, in order, 1 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, and 3.

MAGIC COOKIE BARS

I know I have been making this recipe for my family for fifty years. I hadn't even thought of it as an old recipe until I ran across it in my late mother's recipe files and realized how long I had been making it. These are excellent and make a perfect dessert for the office, church or other "pitch-ins", or just to please your family. My family enjoys them made with chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. I'm sure they would be good with toffee chips, peanut butter chips, etc. Try making them with your family's favorite chips. They are sure to please! 1/2 cup margarine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 1 pkg (6 oz)semi-sweet chocolate chips (or any flavor) 1 can (3 oz)flaked coconut (or 1 1/3 cups) 1 cup chopped nuts (I prefer pecans) Preheat oven to 350 degrees for a metal pan or 325 degrees for a glass pan.

Tres Leches Cake

Image
During the Ramadhan month, I had a few readers asking me for various recipes. Just recently I had a request for the recipe of this cake.  I have heard of this particular cake but never tried to make it. Tres Leches cake is a  cake soaked in three kinds of milk product. Hence the name Tres Leches cake, meaning three milk cake. I was not sure how the cake was going to taste, but it was surprisingly delicious. The cake soaks up the sweet milk mixture and you get a sweet pudding-like cake. For me, it was a bit sweet so I served it with strawberries or passionfruit. Recipe: Tre Leches Cake, recipe adapted from Taste better from Scratch. 1 cup flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 5 eggs 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 cup milk 1 can evaporated milk 1 can condensed milk 500 ml whipping cream 1 tbsp sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon fruit, such as strawberry or passionfruit 1 tsp butter to grease the pan + 2 tsp flour Grease about 9- 10 inch round baking tray ...

Since it was titled "Old Fashion" in 1947 I wonder how old it is.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin

Image
Yesterday, I bought a pre-marinated Pork Tenderloin. I ordered the Garlic and Herb, but came home with the Garlic and Cracked Pepper. Wow! Spicy for me, but a wonderful product! I grilled it on medium high for about 12 minutes on both sides. It was juicy, delicious and perfectly cooked! It is an easy product to prepare. Just open the vacuum sealed package and put it on a preheated grill. Done! I tented it after removing from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.  If you have a tenderloin and need a marinade recipe, follow this one and marinate for a few hours or overnight. 1/4 cup oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons minced onion 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt  1/4 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper Put the tenderloin dry with paper towels. Combine the lemon juice,  oil, garlic, onion, salt and pepper in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloin and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marin...
