2. Sift the dry ingredients in a large bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or with two
knives until a coarse meal texture is obtained.
3. Add buttermilk and knead lightly but thoroughly. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it is,
add a little more flour.

4. Knead for 1 minute, wrap in foil or wax paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and cut with a biscuit cutter. If
you don't have one, a drinking glass of the desired diameter will work.
6. Transfer biscuits to a dark baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Mix together the corn, Jiffy, sour cream and butter in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese. Pour into
the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let stand 5 minutes
before serving.
Note:
You can bake this recipe for a shorter time in a 9x13-inch baking dish, but the texture will be different
than baking it in a 9x9-inch or 2-quart casserole dish. The 9x13-inch will produce thin slices, where the 2-
quart casserole dish produces more of a corn pudding. Either way is delicious.

2. Combine all ingredients besides chicken and butter in a large paper or Ziploc bag. Add
the chicken and shake to coat.
3. Take your baking sheet out of the oven once the butter has melted and place your
chicken on it, leaving a space between each strip. Bake 10-12 minutes, flip gently with a
pair of tongs, and bake another 10-12 minutes.
4. Be sure to check to make sure your chicken is cooked, as the thickness can greatly affect
baking time. You want it to be done but not overdone and dry. Bake another 5-10
minutes if needed.
5. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any excess grease. Serve
immediately.

2. Place chicken breasts in prepared pan. Sprinkle seasoned salt over the chicken breasts. Set
aside while making sauce and buttered crumbs.
3. Place sauce ingredients in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HI in 30 second
intervals stirring after each 30 seconds, until Velveeta is melted and sauce is smooth.
4. Prepare buttered crumbs by processing the crackers either in a food processor or placing them
in a bag and using a rolling pin. Be careful not to over-process the crumbs! You want some
larger pieces in there for the crunch factor. Drizzle with the melted butter and stir until all the
crumbs are coated.
5. Pour half the sauce over the chicken breasts. Add broccoli evenly across the top of chicken.
Pour remaining cheese sauce over broccoli and chicken. Top with the buttered cracker crumbs.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes, or until chicken test done (180 degrees F) in the
thickest part.

2. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing well and lining with circles of parchment paper,
greased on both sides.
3. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and pecans together in a large bowl and stir
well with a whisk.
4. In another bowl, combine bananas, pineapple, oil, eggs and vanilla and stir well until well mixed.
In two batches, add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring just until dry particles are wet –
do not overbeat.
5. Divide and spoon batter into the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops. Bake for about 40
minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center of a layer comes out clean. Place cakes on a
cooling rack for 3 minutes, then turn out on cooling racks and very carefully remove the
parchment. Allow layers to cool completely before assembling.
6. While layers are cooling, prepare the frosting by whipping cream cheese, butter and vanilla in
the bowl of an electric mixer until completely smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the
powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the remaining pecans, or you may choose to use those for
a garnish on top, along with the pecan halves.
7. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate, bottom side up. Spread with frosting,
just up to the edges. Place the second layer, again bottom side up, on top and press gently to
settle it into place. Using an offset spatula, spread top and sides with a small amount of frosting
(called a crumb coating) for an even, thin coating. Chill cake for 20 minutes, then continue to
frost top and sides with the remaining frosting (keep the frosting on the counter until ready to
use; do not refrigerate it).
8. Garnish the cake with pecan halves as desired. Refrigerate the cake to keep it cool until ready to
serve.

filling in baking dish. Sprinkle with the almonds.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a tube or Bundt pan.
2. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl beat butter on medium speed until fluffy about, 2 minutes. Add sugar
and beat 3 more minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in eggs one at a time. On the lowest speed beat in sour cream and vanilla.
5. On the lowest speed mix in 1/3 of the dry ingredients followed by 1/2 the buttermilk then
repeat ending with the last third of the flour. Don't over mix or your cake will be dense!
6. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of sugar over the bottom of the pan and shake so the sugar goes up the
sides 2 - 3 inches. Sprinkle with the coconut flakes.
7. Scoop the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake 55 - 65 minutes or until a wooden skewer
in center comes out clean.
8. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a cake dish or
platter. Cool completely.
9. To make the glaze whisk the confectioners' sugar, butter, milk and vanilla together. The glaze
should run off your whisk when lifted. If needed add more milk to thin it out.
10. Poke holes all over the top of the cake 1/2-inch apart using a skewer or toothpick. Slowly spoon
the glaze over the top. Sprinkle with coconut and almonds.

3. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix just until you can no longer see the white of the
cream. Still on low speed, add the egg yolks and mix just to combine.
4. Place both pie shells on a baking sheet and pour half the filling into each shell. They should be
about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 15 minutes. At 15 minutes, open the door of the oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees
F. Leave the oven door open with the pies in until the temperature decreases - about 5-10
minutes, depending on your oven. Once the temperature reaches 325 degrees F, close the oven
door and continue baking for 10-15 minutes. The center should still be jiggly but the outside
should be set.
6. Remove from oven and let cool completely. If you're in a hurry, transfer the pies to the fridge or
freezer.
