Favorite Fall Recipes

Here are a few of my favorite recipes for October/November.

They are easy & will get you pumped--or plumped for the holidays, enjoy :)

Pumpkin Cake
2 Cups Pumpkin
4 Eggs
1 cup Oil
1 2/3 cup Sugar
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Cinnamon

Beat pumpkin, eggs, oil & sugar together then add dry ingredients. Grease and flour cookie sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Top of cake will start to brown lightly when done. Cool completely & frost with cream cheese frosting.

Frosting: 1/2 cube margarine, 3 oz cream cheese, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla
Mix all ingredients together & spread on cake

Caramel Sauce (dip for apples or pour on icecream or pie, etc.)
1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 cups brown sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla

Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy bottomed pan. Stirring constantly, bring to a full boil & boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; add milk & vanilla.

Cinnamon Almonds
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 cups whole raw almonds

Sed aside an ungreased baking sheet. In a heavy 2-quart skillet, pour in water & dump sugar and cinnamon into the middle of the water. Place over high heat & stir until mixture comes to a boil. Add almonts & stir continuously. Reduce heat to medium high & stir almonds until mixture foams & turns to sugar. Continue stirring as almonds become coated with sugar; sugar will begin to re-melt & carmelize on the almonds. Remove from heat and turn out onto baking sheet. Using 2 forks, seperate almonds into sincle nuts & cool. Makes about 250 glazed nuts, store in airtight container.

Super Easy Queso Dip
1 can Nalley Original Chili
1 jar Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (cheese) dip
Mix & heat on stove over medium heat. Tastes like the queso dip from Chili's. Great quick fix for parties. People are always blown away when they find out how easy it is to make.
