:salam2:

My mom gave me this recipe, and a couple of people have asked for this, so I'll post it here. I hope everything in it is acceptable to eat. If it isn't, let me know I'll remove this. My grandma used to make this when I was younger :)



Coca Cola Cake

2 cups unsifted flour
2 cups sugar
2 sticks margarine

1 t baking soda
2 eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

Put sugar and flour into bowl.

Heat margarine, cocoa and coke to boiling point. Pour over flour mix, blend. Add Buttermilk, soda, eggs, vanilla and salt. Blend. Add marshmallows. Batter will be thin and marshmallows will float on top. Pour into greased and floured 9 X 13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Assalaam walaikum,

The thread was closed so I will post my recipes as I get them via e-mail.

For conversions I just Google.

I will start with simple stuff first.

Cranberry sauce...it is easiest to buy a small can. A small can goes a long way. I open both ends of the can to allow the jellied sauce to slide out. I place it on a small serving dish garnished with a bed of lettuce..This is a last minute thing to do. Some people like to slice the sauce with a knife...I just use a spoon.
Others prefer an organic sauce..a farmers market is the best place to purchase them. The sauce has the berry chunks in it. ( this I like, and nobody else).

Candied sweet potatoes...

I take about 5 large sweet potatoes. I peel them and let them boil for 20 minutes..tender...I slice the potatoes...In a large iron skillet I put a butter and brown sugar..I am heavy handed with the butter and sugar..I allow it to caramelize and put the potatoes in the glaze...I put it on low heat for about 15 minutes...you can use halal marshmallows to add sweetness.

Wow. Of all threads to be closed here. *shakes head*

Aapa is right, I'm not good at finding exact measurement conversions, so google would be best bet.

This is where I step out. Take care, all.

Assalaam walaikum,

This is simply good:

Corn Pudding
In the summer, when the corn is fresh, I cut the corn off the cob. During the winter months, I use Fresh Cut corn from the can (Del Monte)


4 cans Fresh Cut corn
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of butter
½ c Half and Half
½ c whole milk
Start with ½ c sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon All Purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wipe 4 cans of corn.
Open cans and pour off the water.
Place corn in a deep Pyrex dish.
In a large bowl, blend milks, eggs, vanilla and lemon flavors, nutmeg. In a small bowl, stir flour and 1 tablespoon of the liquid mixture together until smooth. Stir this into the blended mixture.
Pour the mixture into the corn and mix with spoon.
Slice the butter into small pieces and place randomly over mixture. Sprinkle additional sugar* and nutmeg.
Place in oven. Cook until top turns golden brown.

I like to use cinnamon sugar for this sprinkling. If you have this, use in addition to nutmeg.

Assalaam walaikum,

I love it. Good winter food and surprisingly light.


Peanut soup

Peanut soup is a staple in the peanut growing areas of Virginia, Franklin, Courtland, Boykins, etc, Basicially, Surry and Southhampton counties. Williamsburg is across the James from here, which is why it is popular there. A more traditional recipe than Flay's updated one, can be found at the Whitley's peanut website, but here it is:
COLONIAL PEANUT SOUP

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 branch celery, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; add onion
and celery. Saute for about 5 minutes. Add flour and
mix until well blended. Stir in chicken broth and allow
to simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat,
strain broth. Stir the peanut butter, salt and lemon
juice into the strained broth until well mixed. Serve
hot in cups. Garnish each cup with a teaspoon of
chopped peanuts. Makes 6 servings.
