Lemon Brownies

"This fresh lemon brownie recipe has a dense, fudgy texture just like a regular brownie, but it is loaded with bright, citrusy flavors and covered in a tangy glaze!  Some people call these lemon blondies since there isn’t any brown to these brownies, but regardless of what you want to call them, these lemon brownie bars are the perfect dessert for a lemon lover looking for a twist on traditional chocolate brownies."  Comment from House of Nash Eats

Since I am a lemon lover, I am receptive to trying this lemon brownie that I have never had before and can't even imagine what it tastes like.

Copycat Popeye’s Red Beans And Rice

"Bring a little of Louisiana home with this Copycat Popeye’s red beans and rice recipe. Creamy, smoky red beans are topped with fluffy white rice to make this simple and delicious side dish or main dish that can be made in about 30 minutes."  Comment from Food Lovin Family

Finding this recipe makes me so happy since I love red beans and rice from that place, but refuse to do business with them because they have terrible customer service.  It is rare for me to deprive myself of food that I love, but it was more than one time.  It was all the time at different places.  Anyway I am thrilled to have the recipe to make at home.

Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie

 

"This Tater Tot Chicken Pot Pie is a combination of two classic comfort foods. The best quick weeknight dinner that will please even the pickiest eaters.  This quick dinner idea is delicious all on its own. However, you can always serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or a light side salad for a more filling meal. OR you can check out this fun version of a Biscuit Pot Pie."  Comment from One Sweet Appetite

I love both tater tots and chicken pot pie, so the combination of the two makes it extra special.  Can't wait to make it.

 "This Seven Up Pound Cake is the most delicious pound cake I’ve ever eaten! The edges are perfectly crispy leading to a dense, sweet, tender cake inside.  No ice cream or whipped cream or berries are needed.  It’s incredible eaten as is . . . on its own.  I’ve been telling everyone all week . . .  you must try this cake!"  Comment from Recipe Girl

Seven Up Pound Cake

A friend found this recipe in a magazine decades ago and I have no idea who the original creator is.  She also scanned the photo and has no idea where it came from.

All I can say is that it is delicious.

• 1-1/2 cups shortening
• 3 cups sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1 teaspoon EACH of vanilla and lemon extracts
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup 7-UP soft drink OR Sprite or SunDrop

Cream together the shortening and sugar. 

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well as they are added. 

Add the extracts. 

Add the flour alternately with the 7-UP, beginning and ending with flour. 

Turn into a greased and floured tube pan and bake at 300 degrees for 1-1/2 hours or until cake tests done.


While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze:

1 stick butter
2 cups sugar
1 tall can evaporated milk (? ounces)

Place in a saucepan and cook over low heat until thick (consistency of buttermilk), about 10 minutes. Be careful to not overcook. Pour over the cake while cake is hot.

Homemade Brioche Rolls Recipe

"Brioche Rolls knead and rise before baking into evenly browned rounds with soft centers. As they cool, the crumb stays tender yet sturdy enough to slice without tearing. That measured process replaces rushed shortcuts with something deliberate and reliable. Gatherings feel more complete when fresh bread sits on the table and conversation moves at its own pace."  Comment from Renee Nicole's Kitchen

There is nothing like freshly backed bread.  I'm going to have to make these.

"Garlic Herb Pork and Potatoes roast together on a sheet pan until the meat browns and the potatoes crisp at the edges. Sharing the same temperature keeps everything aligned and reduces extra steps. One-pan dinners like this simplify prep and cleanup without feeling stripped down. The oven hums in the background while the night settles into an easier rhythm."  Comment from Renee Nicole's Kitchen

I love pork chops and this recipe is one that I will be making soon.  It looks easy and the photo says it all . . . delicious!

Arancini

"If you’ve got arborio rice in your cupboard (a short-grain variety that cooks up nice and creamy) then you’re in luck. It’s the perfect choice for these cheesy, breaded-and-fried rice balls."  Comment from Food Network Magazine

I've never made Arancini, but have wanted to make them to use as appetizers for a party.  They look delicious, but I wonder if the arborio rice is easy to find and if long grain rice would work just as well.  I'm thinking rice is rice?  But I could be wrong.
