I'm an Okie!

Ok, so I was born and bread in Oklahoma. When I was transplanted to Florida as a child, I missed a lot about Oklahoma. Mostly the food. Let's face it, Florida is hardly the south. Maybe a few households, but most of Florida is a mix of everything. The most southern thing about Florida is it's geography. Anyhow, what is more southern than your Grandma's cooking. In my case, my Nanny. That is what I call my Grandma. Her cooking was always the best. I guess that is where I got my love of cooking. When she passed away in 2005, the only thing I wanted of hers was her recipes. Nothing makes me feel more connected to her than making one of her dishes. So, I thought what better way to honor her than to share her recipes with others. If you love southern cooking, keep me in mind. And if you have any requests, I will do my best to find them for you.

HAPPY EATING!

Pumpkin Pie Cake

Well, who doesn't like a recipe that uses mix cake? I LOVE them! Guess you could save this for the holidays or do like we do and have Thanksgiving year around!

Pumpkin Pie Cake
1 Tall Can Pet Milk
4 Eggs
1 Large Can Pumpkin
1 1/2 C Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 Box Yellow Cake Mix
1/2# Melted Butter
Nuts (optional)
Beat together milk and eggs. Add in pumpkin, sugar, salt, cinnamon. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle 1/2 box of cake mix over the batter in the pan. Pour melted butter over the top. Sprinkle with nuts, if you like. (Ew!) Bake 1 1/2 hours at 325.
Looks like a recipe that Paula Deen could be proud of with all that butter!!!
