We Are Behind-Playing Catch Up

We apologize for our lack of keeping up with the posting the last couple of weeks. Really there is no excuse other than we just didn't get them on the blog. We have made the recipes each week, but lost it after that. Really I guess sometimes life just happens and we are left to play catch up but are left feeling like we are not quite there most of the time. Oh well, life goes on. The following recipes we give a four to each of them. Further explanation to follow.

Hamburger Stroganoff- Myrna Grimshaw

We made this the night before Krystal and Sara's baby shower.  It makes quite a large batch. Kendalee and her girls were there for dinner as well as Juli, Krystal, Mom and Dad, and me and my two girls.  We had plenty with some left over to take home to Jade.  There were no complaints from any of the children and that speaks for itself.  If you need an easy dinner give it a try.

1/2 C onion
1 clove garlic
1 lb hamburger
2 t salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 small can mushrooms, sliced
1 can cream soup
1 C sour cream
2 C cooked noodles

Brown hamburger, onion and garlic.  Add salt, pepper and mushrooms.  Add soup and simmer 10 minutes.  Serve over noodles. 

We did not bake it in the oven.

Hot Fudge Pudding- Lillian Grimshaw

When I think of Lillian Grimashaw I always think of good food. She was one woman who knew how to cook and she especially loved treats of any kind. This recipe was very good, but very rich. It requires some vanilla ice cream to go with it! Sometime baking is fun because you wonder how this will ever turn out. That is kind of what I thought about this hot fudge pudding. It makes its over pudding on the bottom of the pan while baking. Don't understand or believe me, make it for yourself and you can see.

Hot Fudge Pudding-
1 C flour
3/4 C sugar
2 T cocoa
2 t BP
1/4 t salt
1/2 C milk
2 T melted shortening
1 C chopped nuts 1
 C brown sugar
1/4 C cocoa
1 3/4 C hot water

 Mix flour, sugar, 2 T cocoa, BP and salt. Stir in milk and melted shortening. Pour batter into 9" pan. Mix brown sugar and 1/4 C cocoa. Sprinkle over batter. Pour hot water over the top. Bake 45 minute on 350. Serve with cream or ice cream. We omitted the nuts due to preference. It is very fast and easy to put together. The result is a very rich and tasty dessert.

Also, as usual the computer is smarter than me.  No pictures again.
