Hot Artichoke Dip (Enough for an 8×8 cake pan:)
1 Cup Marinated Artichokes (the 14 oz jar)
1 Cup Mayonaise
1 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Kraft is fine)
1 8oz Package Cream Cheese (softened)
1 7oz Can Chopped Green Chilies
Jalepenos as desired
Minced raw garlic, if desired
Drain the artichokes and discard the marinade (or save it for a salad dressing). Chop the artichokes into small pieces. Some of the outside leaves may be tough - but if you can cut them small enough and you can still use them. They will soften in the dip.
Mix the mayonaise and cream cheese until smooth. Add the parmesan cheese, the chopped artichokes and the green chilies and stir until well blended. Add jalepenos — taste after you mix in each spoonful. You can also add more green chilies instead of the jalepenos. I use a teaspoon or more of minced garlic to add to the heat and flavor.
Put the mixture in a casserole dish or an 8×8 cake pan, and bake at 375 degrees until it’s hot through, and starting to brown on the top. Serve warm with tortilla chips, or crackers. (Try it with the Nabisco crackers with the sun-dried tomatos!)
Enjoy! Be prepared to make more - it goes fast.

A simple trick that I use is I take flavored coffee creamers and use them to replace some of the milk in such things as Dream Whip (think of the flavored Cool Whips), biscuits, pancakes.
Also for an adult type cake I will replace 1/3 cup of water with either Kaluha, Rum, Peach Schnappes in cake mixes such as Duncan Hines and then bake as usual.

I had the best cake at a dinner the other evening…it is called Southern Praline Pecan Cake. Simple and easy, here is the recipe.
Southern Praline Pecan Cake
1 box butter pecan cake mix*
1 container coconut pecan frosting
4 eggs, beaten
2/3 to 3/4 cup oil, depending on how moist you want it, I used 2/3 this time. (I tried using butter instead, and the flavor is good, but the batter takes longer to cook.)
1 cup water (I've tried milk instead, but it took longer to cook. Maybe it was the butter.)
1 cup chopped pecans, divided
* I added 1/4 tsp baking powder this time, to help it rise.
Combine all ingredients except pecans in a large bowl; mix until combined. Stir in half the pecans. Sprinkle remaining pecans in a lightly greased 10 inch Bundt pan; pour batter over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serves 8-10.
(I have also made these as cupcakes, and they are just as good. Sprinkle pecans on top of batter and bake for 30-45 minutes. Yummy for breakfast!)

The Southern Pecan Praline Cake is wonderful. I have a friend who makes this all the time and keeps the items in her pantry to make for a quick dessert for a friend's house or church.

Peanut-Butter Cake
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup thick sour milk or buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, mix butter and peanut butter with sugar, add eggs. Mix dry ingredients together. Alternate dry and liquid ingredients, ending with dry. Beat on low speed with electric mixer for 1 minute, scraping bowl frequently. Increase speed to medium-high and continue beating for 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let layers cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a baking rack.
Frost cake with Chocolate-Peanut-Butter Frosting.

I got this recipe from a friend and absolutely love it!
Strawberry Mango Salad
3/4 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Salt
8 cups Strawberries, quartered
1 large Mango, cubed
1 cup Sweetened-dried Cranberries
1 medium Onion, thinly sliced (although I love onions, I've never included them in this salad)
1 cup Slivered Almonds
Whisk together the first four ingredients in a smal bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine your greens of choice (I prefer a Spring Mix blend or Romaine Lettuce) with the next four ingredients and lightly toss. Drizzle desired amount of dressing and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with almonds and enjoy!
