Happy Thanksgiving

Yes, I'm back. Thought maybe some of you preparing for a Thanksgiving dinner might enjoy some recipes I've enjoyed.

If they are company coming and staying with you this is a quick easy delicious breakfast roll.

Delicious Cherry Coffee Cake
1 white cake mix
1/4 cup water
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
Stir up and put in a jelly roll pan or one at least 10" X 15"X 1" depth (1/2") depth runs a little over the side and on your racks and on the floor of your oven. MESS. I have a grill pan that came with the stove 13"x13"x1' deep I have been using and works great.
BEFORE putting in oven, spoon 1 can Cherry Pie filling & 1/4 cup pecans gently over the batter. Bake 350 - 25 to 30 minutes or till starting to brown and firm to touch. Over baking makes it dry not moist.
Let it cool a little while you mix up your butter frosting. powdered (1 cup?) sugar, 1 Tab. butter, milk and tsp vanilla till runny enough to pour a thick stream back and forth across your rolls.

The day will be set right if you start the morning out with these.

Tuesday or Wednesday make this delicious Pumpkin Torte for a change from Pumkin Pie. I got it from my sister-in-law years ago.


PUMPKIN TORTE
(1) 24 graham crackers crushed (1 3/4 cup) 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter(melted). Keep in refrigerator. We like Ritz crackers crumbs without the sugar & butter better just patted in the bottom of 9x13" pan, but to each his own. Old man don't like sweets!
(2) 2 eggs beaten, 3/4 cup sugar, 8 oz cream cheese
(3) 2 cups pumpkin, 3 egg yolks, (keep whites for later ) 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp. cinnamon.
(4) 1 envelope Knox gelatin dissolved in - 1/4 cup cold water
(5) 3 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
(6) Cool Whip

Mix #2 ingredients and pour gently over crust. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cook #3 on top of stove till thick. Remove from heat and add #4 (gelatin dissolved in cold water)
COOL.
Beat #5 (3 egg whites) like a meringue and fold into above. COOLED! mixture. Pour over rest of ingredients. Let set in refrigerator to form a little crust on top to put (#6) the Cool Whip on. Cut into squares before serving.

I'll try to do better from now on keeping you informed. Have Fun. Jeanette
