These are the ones I haven't opened yet, ROFLMAO. I belong to a group and I get massive emails. A lot of the recipes are mine from years of cooking, but when I come across one that looks good I throw it in here, haha..

Heres something I received today, nnt a recipe but a good tip:

WHIPPED CREAM

Sweeten your whipped cream with confectioners sugar instead of granulated sugar. Oh so fluffy! Bonus-it holds its shape better!

Cool, huh!

So if you need a recipe for just about anything let me know and I am sure I have it, hehehehe!

Pumpkin Pound Cake with Buttermilk Glaze

Drain the canned pumpkin before making the cake batter to keep the cake's texture light.

Cake: Cooking spray
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin (solid, not pie filling)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour (about 13 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk

Glaze:
1/3 cup fat-free buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°.

To prepare the cake, lightly coat a 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour. Spread pumpkin over 2 layers of paper towels; cover with 2 additional layers of paper towels. Let stand about 10 minutes. Scrape drained pumpkin into a bowl.

Place 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 3 minutes or until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in pumpkin and vanilla. Lightly spoon 3 cups flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture and 3/4 cup buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.

Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pan, and cool completely on wire rack.

To prepare glaze, combine 1/3 cup buttermilk and remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Drizzle cake with glaze.
Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Back in fashion? LOL, I never knew they went out? I have gone through about four in the past 30 years. I wear them out. I have one that I use a lot but went and bought a bigger one recently, lol.

2 1/2 cups milk
1 small onion, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 325ºF.

Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, 1/2 cup at a time. Heat to boiling. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Arrange potatoes in greased 2 quart casserole in 3 layers, topping each layer with part of the chopped onions and 1/3 of the sauce. Dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, broken into little pieces.

Perfect for those busy days ahead with no time to cook!

Bean-and-Ham Soup

3 (15.8 ounce) BUSH’S BEST Great Northern Beans, divided
1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
8 ounces cooked ham, cubed
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Rinse and drain beans. Process one-third can of beans and half of chicken broth in a food processor until smooth. Set aside. I mash the beans in the can with a fork to save this step, no processor bowl to wash saves even more time...
Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and saute for five minutes until tender. Add ham and saute 10 minutes or til lightly browned,
add bean puree, remaining beans and remaining broth. bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in pepper and serve immediately.
