Bon Appetite - A Weekend Treat: CRACKER PUDDING

My contemporary novel, KEY TO LOVE, is currently on sale for $0.99 for the entire month of October. In the novel, Lucas Fisher, the main hero, is trying to get custody of his little nephew, Todd Fisher, now orphaned because of his father’s death in a car accident. Todd loves eating animal crackers. This recipe is a great one—but you must use “oyster crackers.”

 
CRACKER PUDDING
 
1 qt. milk
½ cup flour
½ to ¾ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 egg
½ cup coconut
1 cup crushed oyster crackers

Let milk come to a boil. Mix flour, sugar, salt
and egg into a batter. Add the batter, coconut
and crackers to the milk and cook until thick.

Bon Appetite - A Weekend Treat: CAJUN SHRIMP

Bon Appetite - A Weekend Treat: NOBBY APPLE CAKE

Every Friday I'll be sharing a favorite recipe. With autumn sneaking up on us in Central Pennsylvania, I'm featuring an apple treat. This is an old recipe I copied from my mother's handwritten notebook of her most loved recipes.


Nobby Apple Cake                                                           

 6 TBSP butter or margarine 

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

2 cups sifted flour

6 cups diced apples

½ cup chopped nuts

2 tsp vanilla

Cream margarine, sugar and eggs;

Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture

Stir in diced apples, nuts and vanilla

Pour into greased pan.

Bake: 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes

I prefer to lightly ice my cake with just a plain thin layer of vanilla frosting. 

Great with ice cream or whipped cream or plain.
