Toffee Apple Dip

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 (11-ounce) package Skor or Heath toffee chips

Beat cream cheese, sugars and vanilla together until fluffy. Stir in toffee chips by hand. Serve with sliced apples.

Easy Lemon Cake Layered Cake

I made this cake for a church auction to send our Young Women to girl's camp....which I hated as a girl (because I don't camp AT ALL), but nonetheless, I made the cake. It turned out to be yummy and I was a little overly excited about it so I took pictures along the way. It was much easier than I anticipated so I am sharing it for other domestic divas.... (oh, and as you may know, I am normally opposed to cooking with package mixes, but was pressed for time on the day I made this so I had to settle - it turned out okay so I might actually use the packages again when making this in the future)

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (2-layer size) lemon cake mix
2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) Jell-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding
1-1/2 cups cold milk
1 package of Betty Crocker Whip It (add a little water to this small box mix; you beat with a handmixer in a metal bowl)....this is a little tricky to find - only Smith's Food carries it in SLC


Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package for 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake layers. Cool completely.
Beat pudding mixes and milk with whisk 2 min. Immediately spread between cake layers.


Stack cake layers.

Frost with Whip It mixture.

Garnish with lemon slices. The recipe I had also said to add mint-leaves, but I am not a mint-leaf-lovin'-gal so I omitted them.

The finished product!

It was delightful and sold at our auction for almost $50! I was thrilled...even though I feel sorry for the girls since they have to go camping this summer. :) It was exceptionally easy - and great for a spring/summer dessert that looks festive and tastes great. Try it - you'll like it!

Orange Julius

This is from my Grandma Thompson. It can count as a dessert or as part of breakfast, based on your definition of each. :)

  • 1 small can of frozen orange juice concentrate (the really small size)
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 TB powdered milk
  • 6 ice cubes

Toss it all in your blender (preferably Bosch since they are the best!) and blend until the ice is chopped to your liking. Makes about 4 normal size glasses.

Auntie Pam's Carrot Cake

This is ridiculously good carrot cake....my Auntie Pam is seriously the queen of carrot cake!

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice

Mix, then combine with:
1.5 cup oil
4 eggs, beaten - fold in
3 cups raw carrots, grated

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour 10 minutes or until toothpick comes clean.

Frosting:
8 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
4 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

The recipe I have says that this can also be "complimented" by adding raisins, nuts or coconut but in my opinion, any of those icky things would take away from the yumminess.
