Are Y'All Ready for "Fattin'?
Texas Sheet Cake
Melt together:
½ cup of Wesson oil
1 cup of water or milk
1 stick of butter
Bring to a slow boil and add 1/3 cup of cocoa
Mix together: -
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 eggs
½ cup of buttermilk
1 or 2 teaspoons of vanilla
~ then add your melted butter/cocoa mixture
This all fits on my jelly roll/cookie sheet pan.
Bake 350 for 30 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly then frost
Nota Bene - Paula Deen tops her Texas Sheet cake with miniature marshmellows and then adds the icing. Sounds good to me! :))
Frosting:
1 box of conf XXX sugar
1 stick of melted butter
3 teaspoons of cocoa
1/4 cup of milk ~ add slowly to get a good consistency

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits II
Note: I pulled this recipe out because I couldn't find "Sister Shulbert's Yeast Rolls" at the Bi-Lo frozen food section this afternoon. They are delicious!, but these fatting cheese biscuits will just have to do. heh heh
This recipe was posted in the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
Ingredients:
2 C. Bisquick
2/3 C. milk
1/2 C. shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 C. butter or margarine, melted
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Preparation:
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix bisquick, milk and cheese until a soft dough forms. Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased cooking sheet. Bake 8- 10 min until golden brown. Mix butter and garlic powder. Brush mixture over warm biscuits before removing from cookie sheet.

One more ..... not so fatting. We had to have something at least semi-healthy. This recipe looked good to me so I copied it from somewhere intertesting, (????) and will be trying it out on my family tomorrow for Sunday lunch. Yeah! They are bringing baby Max to Omie's house for Sunday lunch. Not that the baby can eat any of this as yet. >grin<
Fruity Slaw
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 8-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks, in their own juice
1/3 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped apple
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
In a large non-aluminum bowl combine cabbage, carrot, pineapple with juice, raisins, apple and lemon juice. Toss well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate overnight in refrigerator to let flavors blend and develop. Drain before serving.

Thursday 8th of November 2007 update ~ The kids and baby came over for Sunday lunch and DID NOT like the fruity slaw. My SIL, however, loved the chicken, the squash cassarole and the homemade chocalate chip cookies. YEA! He especailly liked taking a bag of cookies home with him. I did not make the cake or the biscuits, but might make the cake for this weekend if I have enough friends that I can give most of it away as I don't need all those calories right here before Thanksgiving and Christmas. ....how did you like that run-on and on sentence.
