What’s For Dinner?

October 22, 2012 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

 

I was baking potatoes yesterday to make twice baked potatoes for the freezer. As you can probably guess, my family was not happy that the freezer was getting the potatoes. lol I had some taco meat in the fridge, so I served them some of the baked potatoes topped with taco meat and cheddar cheese. They loved it! So I’ll add that into the rotation for taco night.

 

The Menu:

Saturday – Sabbath- Make ahead meals- Dinner at church

Sunday – soup & sandwich day – Taco Potatoes, broccoli from the garden, corn

Monday – chicken – Baked Chicken, corn on the cob, salad

Tuesday – pizza/pasta – Homemade  sausage pizza using our homemade pizza crust, carrot sticks

Wednesday – super simple – Leftovers or take out

Thursday – beef – Tacos with all the fixings, including homemade sour cream and homemade taco sauce, on homemade tortillas

Friday – Sabbath Dinner –   Homemade Chicken soup, homemade bread

Oh, people want to eat! So I whipped up some homemade pancakes and fed the kids at 9 p.m. Ok,not super duper nutritious, no fruits or veggies in sight,but we did use organic maple syrup.

Sue’s Layer Cake Recipe

September 24, 2012 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy

This recipe came from my husbands grandmother. She got the recipe from her friend Sue, hence the name. I just love recipes with history. This is a tried and true family recipe. And it’s yummy!

The original recipe calls for using shortening. It comes out great that way, and also using butter like I did in these pictures. I haven’t tried with coconut oil, but I bet it would come out great, too. I do not recommend using margarine.

Sue’s LayerCake

Complete recipe below. Combine dry ingredients in bowl. Place the melted shortening in a 2 cup measuring cup. Add eggs to shortening.

Fill to the 1 cup mark with milk. ( In these pictures, I doubled the recipe, that’s why I’m filling to the two cup mark) Mix thoroughly.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix well.

Pour into greased pan.

Bake and enjoy with your favorite frosting.

 

Finished pic coming soon. They ate it before I got a picture!
