SOUR CREAM DATE COOKIE( from Kates Sundays thread)
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups flour
1-1/2 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped nuts

Mix all of the above together and bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

I don't remember when I got these date cookies, sorry, but they are good. I don't add the walmuts as dh doesn't like nuts that well, so I have just added more dates.

Thanks kate for starting this thread.

I made this 3-4 times this summer. We love it. This is a complete supper for us with some rolls or french bread. I used about 3/4 pound cooked chopped up bacon pieces. Simply yummy!

1 deep-dish pie crust, unbaked

Layer the first 6 ingredients in an unbaked pie crust. Mix mayonnaise and shredded cheese. Spread over layered ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cool 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving.

up for reviews

Hi Kate!

I saved this to my favorites link! I've got many recipes printed out to try out on my family. Just haven't had the time to cook lately cuz we've been so busy. But when I do, the reviews will be listed here. It's hard to pick from all the wonderful recipes that you've been kind enough to post for all of us to enjoy! ;o)

Thank you for starting this review thread!

Made this today. Believe this was in last weeks recipes - 9-23-07. Didn't do any tweaking to it. Very good.

Apple Barn Apple Cake

One cup vegetable oil
Two eggs
Two cups sugar
One and one-half cups all-purpose flour
One teaspoon baking soda
One teaspoon baking powder
One teaspoon salt
One teaspoon cinnamon
Three cups apples -- peeled and chopped
One cup pecans -- chopped
One cup butterscotch morsels

Beat together oil, eggs and sugar. Sift together next five ingredients. Add sifted dry ingredients alternately with apples to egg mixture; mix well. Stir in pecans and half of morsels. Spread batter in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining morsels. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

This past week I made the apple crisp.It is so good. I can't get the search to let me find the recipe, but it was last weeks that Kate posted.

The only thing different I did was add more apples then it called for. It is a keeper recipe.

I've made this one several times.....it has replaced another one that I had that was suppose to be a copycat version of Olive Garden's recipe. We like this one better!! Sorry, I don't have the link to the original posting.

Thanks Katemarie for posting this thread!!

Candied Bacon
2 tsp. vegetable oil 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 c. packed brown sugar 1 lb. thick sliced bacon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Combine the brown sugar and cayenne, stirring to mix well. Press sugar on bacon firmly until well coated. Arrange the slices in a single layer, sugared-side up. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the sugar is bubbly, 15- 20 minutes.

Hi Tode!!!

I simply copy those recipes from Farm and Ag publications, so I have no idea about missing ingredients or instructions. I DID GOOGLE the recipe title and found it.

Here are the cooking instructions that I found thru googling:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil, and position broiler rack on top of pan. Lightly coat the rack with the vegetable oil.
Combine the brown sugar and cayenne in a shallow dish, stirring to mix well. Press 1 side of each slice of bacon firmly into the spiced sugar to coat well. Arrange the slices of bacon on top of the broiler rack in a single layer, sugared-side up. If there is any sugar remaining in the dish, sprinkle it on top of the bacon slices evenly. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the sugar is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, then to a plate or serving dish to cool. (Can be made several hours ahead) Serve warm or at room temperature.


HOPE TO SEE A REVIEW WHEN YOU MAKE THESE!!! :) kate
