Pour over dry ingredients. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 eggs, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix. The batter will be wet and not stiff. Pur into greased and floured sheet pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 min (till toothpick inserted into middle of the cake comes out clean) Frosting In a saucepan mix 1 stick butter, 5 Tablespoons of cocoa, and 6 Tablespoons of milk. Heat adn stir until blended. Add 1 package of powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/2 cups of nuts (nuts optional). Blend together and pour over hot cake.

Mmmm, chocolate cake- yum! My daughter loves to bake and I see a cake in my future.;) I just tried this recipe last night and it is fabulous!

Yummy Spinach Salad 2 T fresh orange juice 2 T fresh lime juice 2 t dijon mustard 2 t honey salt and pepper 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onoin (I left this out) 8 cups baby spinach (about 8 oz) 1 apple very thinly sliced (I used granny smith) 1/4 blue cheese Wisk OJ through salt and pepper. Combine salad and toss with the dressing. |

Here's a variation of the buttermilk pie - for those of you in Texas or near a Luby's cafeteria, you can try this pie there. It is very very good. The recipe is from the Luby's cookbook Buttermilk Pecan Pie 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/8 tsp salt 2/3 cup butter, melted 1 1/3 cup buttermilk 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup pecan pieces 1/2 cup raisins 1/4 cup coconut unbaked pie shell In a large bowl combine sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla. In a small bowl, toss together pecan pieces, raisins, and coconut. Spread pecan mix into bottom of pie shell, then pour in buttermild mix. Bake at 350 for one hour and 20 min, or until pie is set in center and golden borwn. Refridgerate. |
Spinach Artichoke Dip 1 block cream cheese 1 cup mayo 1 container sour cream 1 pkg of golden onion soup 2 small (or 1 big) can (drained) artichokes garlic, salt, pepper to taste 1/2 (or if you want more you can add more) frozen spinach thawed...squeeze as much of the water out as you can 1 pkg of montery jack or swiss cheese (I like to mix the cheeses) bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned,... Serve with assorted crackers. DEEEEEELICIOUS!! |
BBQ Chicken Burritos Here is one that is fast and easy.......and it tastes good too!!! BBQ Chicken Burritos 6 Chicken Breasts with or without bone (or a whole cut up chicken depends on what type of meat that you like)...the boneless chicken breast or strips are the easiest to work with. Bull's-Eye BBQ Sauce (I use the honey or original flavor) A bag of shredded mild cheddar cheese 10 pack of flat burritos Sour cream Boil the chicken in water for about 30 minutes or until done. Flake the meat into a pot and add BBQ sauce (add enough to make the mixture moist). Heat for about 10 minutes or until the mixture is hot. Spoon the mixture (about two to three tablespoons each and you can adjust as you go) into the middle of the burritos and then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Roll these up and place in a pan seam side down. Put these into the over for about 5-8 minutes at 325 degrees in order to melt the cheese. Serve with sour cream........my kids hate the sour cream so they eat theirs plain.........:D |
Sorry forgot to add to drain the water off the chicken before flaking and adding the bbq sauce........:rolleyes: |

You know - I just started seeing it for the first time too, a few weeks ago. BUT, it is in their new book, "Luby's Recipes and Memories." It is described as a collection of our favorite dishes and heartwarming stories. The pie has to have been around for some time to be included in the book - it's a 60-year celebration for Luby's 1947-2007 - not that the pie has been around for 60 years, but you know what I mean....... :rolleyes: Anyway, it tastes GREAT!!! |
Salad!! This is my new absolute favorite. It is so good and so easy! I dont have a name for it, i made it up myself! Pre-washed bag of romaine lettuce... put as much as you want in a bowl cut some grapes in half then i get a bag of different kinds of nuts and raisins that are sweetened (its called sweet harvest) then mix it with rasberry vinagrette dressing. I promise its great, and it fills me up. I actually just had it for dinner |

You gotta wing it: a small hand full here and there. 1 bag of baby spring mix lettuce sliced fruit or berries: I get creative here, I've used grape halves, sliced strawberries, or whole blueberries, or diced fresh pears. Cheese: I usually use blue cheese crumbles, but with pears, AGED swiss is very good. Honey roasted cashews or peanuts store bought roasted chicken, pull a handful of meat shreds off and toss in. Dressing: juice of one lemon 1-2 tb of sugar, stir till it dissolves a pinch or two of salt fresh ground black pepper 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. whisk together and pour on the salad. Yummy, and very fancy looking. I have this fantasy of having a few friends over for a luncheon with this salad and some pretty tea breads LOL |
