Mine is not old fashioned, but it's realllly good!  I use the noodle like dumplings, not the globs of batter dumplings.  Is that what you are looking for?   Chicken & Dumplin's is one of my favorite meals!

I can't wait to make Tresh's dip and I forgot all about the Poor Farmer's Cheese Cake!  I'm going to have to come up with a reason to party soon, just so I'll have a valid reason to use the delicious recipes you all have shared!

awww Jayne….thanks for being my cheerleader!!!!!  hahahaaa  so glad you liked it! 

I saw the macaroni and cheese recipe and I wondered if any of yall like southern macaroni and cheese?  It's cooked with eggs and milk and tons of cheese but firmer than the traditional cheese sauce recipes.  This recipe is hands down my favorite.  I had some boys from Michigan living here this summer and they said I had ruined them for any other macaroni recipe…LOL!

8 ounces of elbow macaroni cooked per box directions

In a big bowl mix these ingredients then stir in pasta:

3 eggs beaten

1 tsp. yellow mustard

15 ounces sour cream

15 ounces Cottage cheese

a splash of milk (maybe half a cup)

3 cups of sharp cheddar cheese then 1 cup cheese for top

1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper (maybe more pepper, you want to see flecks)

Stir this all together and mix with pasta.  Place in 11×13 pan and top with more shredded cheese and bake at 350 till firm and slightly browned on edges…about 30 minutes. 

This macaroni dish gets moaned over at the table.  It heats up well for leftovers too. 

Miss Dana……Holy cow that sounds delicious!  I am so making that….

What recipe has gotten the most OH MY GOSH THIS IS AMAZINGs?  I like THOSE recipes! 

I put together a dish that is almost too good.  I can't stop eating it and find myself sneaking to the frig constantly….and then there is my family, frig door open, digging with a spoon…hahaha!  Problem is…I don't really have a recipe.  I just sorta make it.  So I'll try for some general proportions..

Carmelized Apple Brown Sugar Oatmeal Crisp

Take at least 3 bags of grocery store bought dried apples.  Rehydrate them in boiling water and allow them to fully 'puff' back up.  Drain. 

Melt a stick of unsalted butter in a LARGE skillet.  Add drained apple slices and drop about 3-4 goodly handfuls of sugar on the apples.  (maybe about 3/4 cup to 1 cup) Sprinkle some cinnamon too.  Cook over medium heat stirring sorta frequently.  This could take up to 40 minutes. 

The goal is for the apples to become brown and translucent…at times burnt on the edges.  This brings out such an INTENSE flavor.  If medium heat isn't getting the job done, crank it up and stand over it, stirring every minute or so.  You want them really brown.

Place sticky carmelized apples into a 11 x 13 pan and top with an oatmeal crumbly topping  I use 1 cup regular oats, mixed with 1 cup light brown sugar and 1 cup all purpose flour.  To this I mix in 1 stick of melted butter and 1 tsp cinnamon.  Mix well and crumble over the top.

Bake at 350 till the top looks firm…maybe 30 minutes.  Serve warm (or reheated) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

It sounds so good, but I can't eat it.  I'm allergic to oatmeal.

When I posted yesterday or the day before about my Cream Cheese bars, someone, I think it was Suzanne said they wanted the recipe. 

I have to give my Sister in Law credit for this one.  We call it Poor Farmer's Cheesecake.  It's soooo simple & easy, but trust me, everyone will want the recipe.  Take it to a banquet or church, it's a great way to meet people.  I first made this about 13 years ago for our coaches one day for lunch.  Now coaches come and go, but when they show back at up at whatever school I'm at, they always ask about the cream cheese bars.  Even their wives have called me for the recipe. 

Poor Farmer's Cheesecake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Use a 13 x 9 loaf pan.

2 - 8 Roll packages of Cresent Rolls

2 - 8 oz. packages of Cream Cheese, softened

1 Cup Sugar

1 egg, separated

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons Cinnamon

1/2 chopped nuts (I use pecans)

In the 13 x 9 pan lay one package of the crescent rolls flat (just unroll them)

In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk (save the white), and vanilla, until well blended.

Pour this mixture over the crescent rolls in the pan.

Lay the second package of crescent rolls over this mixture. 

Beat the egg white and spread it over the top of the crescent roll.

Combine the brown sugar & cinnamon and sprinkle it over the top of the crescent roll. 

Sprinkle the nuts over top of this.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Allow to cool and cut.  Must be refridgerated for storing. 

You'll want to make sure to cut them, if you don't and leave it up to the guys to cut, they won't share, and will eat it all up.  Trust me.  I've been known to use this recipe to my advantage, to get something I want or need done, to say I may have made a mistake.  You know the routine.  Hubby says “Better than Sex Cake” has nothing on this.

I made this Poor Farmer's Cheesecake yesterday and my oh my was it ever good.  So simple, so easy, so WONDERFUL!

Thank you for sharing this with us.

We need a recipe index! I try to copy any recipe I think I want to make, but then one slips by me and I find myself paging through six pages of this forum looking for the one I need. Can we have one entry that lists recipes as they are shared, updated when a new recipe is listed?
