Hi Forum Friends,
I introduced myself in another area. My family & I (well just me and hubby) are new to Stokesdale. I love to cook and garden. I love to gather recipes from friends and this usually leads to great friendships(unless the recipe comes out really bad) 
So, lets share!
I am sooo ready for Autumn and all the yummy recipes that come with it, apples, pumpkin, squash, stews, breads, soups..ok, now I am hungry. 
I don't have any of my recipes with me so someone else start and I'll post some tomorrow. (I do this from work)
Thank you,
blessingalways2u

WOW! I thought I was the only mom on the planet that still cooked! I have my favorite recipies saved & when my nieces got married, printed them on colorful index cards which were then presented in a cute recipe box! Do you like O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup? I have a friend that gave me the recipe... see below:
Chunky Potato Soup
3 teaspoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
2 cups peeled, chopped baking potatoes
½ cup minced onion
½ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. black pepper
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk. Stir in potatoes and next 3 ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, 30 minutes or until mixture is thickened. May be garnished with finely shredded cheese and chives.
(PS... there are more where this came from!) Last edited on Aug 15th, 2006 09:36 am by DToney

Hi Dtoney,
YUM! That sounds great, I love all kinds of potato salad. Actually I didn't think of that my red potato salad recipe is in my head, I'll post it.
So, come on with more recipes.
You are in Stokesdale too, cool!

Hey what if I make it up to ya... here's some meat for those 'taters! ( I removed the n's this time!)
Baked Ham
Wrap Butt portion ham – fat side up – in foil so it can be opened for dressing.
Place in 300-degree oven – Bake 20 min/lb.
Prepare glaze:
½ c. brown sugar
2 tbsp.. Vinegar
1 tbsp.. mustard
juice from 1 can pineapple & juice from 1 bottle cherries
Cook until consistency of thin syrup. Remove from heat & remove ham from oven when done. Score ham placing whole cloves at regular intervals (approx. 25 cloves). Cover ham w/pineapple slices securing with cherry & toothpick. Cover with glaze & return to 400-degree oven. Baste remainder of glaze until pineapple slices begin to brown. Let cool before slicing.

CRACKAH! Great minds thnk alike!!
This recipe is from our old pal Kris (She doesn't visit us much any more ....We miss her!!) She gave us this recipe back in February, and I know I've made it lots since then.... It's become a family favorite!
Darn Good Chocolate Cake (that's really the name, I'm not making it up  )
1 Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix (gotta be DH!)
1 small package chocolate instant pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups choc chips
Mix everything except the choc chips with an electric mixer. Fold in choc chips with spatula. Batter will be thick! Pour into bundt pan that has been greased and floured. Bake 350 for 45-50 minutes. Cool on rack for 20 minutes, remove from pan and cool 20-30 minutes more.
I usually just dust it with powered sugar and serve warm. Really good with raspberry perserves on the side too! If you really want it chocolatey, frost with this:
Chocolate Ganache
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 cup choc chips
1 tbls. liqueur (Grand Marnier, schnapps,etc) (optional!)
Bring cream to boil over med heat while stirring. Pour hot cream over choc chips in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Stir in liqueur if you so desire it Let stand for 10 minutes to thicken and spoon over cake.

I bet families all over the South have this one! Another family favorite!!
BTW, DToney: Are we having dessert in the desert?
Just funnin' ya! Couldn't resist... It's part of my character, y'know! (Just remember.... "DESSERTS" is "STRESSED" spelled backwards!)

Here's one I made for the first time this weekend. WARNING: This is ONLY for real, honest-to-goodness need-a-twelve-step-program chocoholics! It is rich, like fudge. (I've got a fudge recipe I'll have to dig out too. The old fashioned kind - none of that marshmallow cream fake fudge!) Enjoy!
Chocolate Truffle Pie
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liqueur (can substitute pure vanilla extract)
1 9in prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
Melt choc chips over low heat combined with 3/4 cup cream. STIR - LOW heat, until smooth. Cool 5 minutes. Add sugar and liqueur or vanilla.
In small bowl, beat the rest of the cream until soft peaks form. (Cold glass bowl and cold beaters work best!) Beat in chocolate mixture on high speed 1/3 at a time. Mix well and spoon into crust. Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream.
