Honey Bun Cake

This cake is another family favorite of ours! My brother request this cake every year for his birthday. 

What you need:
1 box of yellow cake mix
2/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup pecans{this is optional, I left them out because my child doesn't like nuts. It is still just as good without the nuts}
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cup powdered sugar
2+ Tbsp milk

Heat ove to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9 cake pan. 

Mix together cake mix,oil,eggs,and sour cream together in a large bowl.

In a small bowl mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans{if you are using them}

Spread half of the cake mix into the cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top. Spread the rest of the cake mix on top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until thin. You may have to add a bit more milk.

Prick cake with a fork and pour icing on the cake. 

Let sit until the icing is set.

           

Redneck Caviar

There are so many different variations to this dip. I've heard it called Cowboy Caviar, White Trash Caviar, and South Georgia Caviar.

It is also great served on top of tilapia. Just a little FYI.

I grew up with it being called Redneck Caviar and this is my version of it.

What you need:
2 cans of black beans, rinsed drained
1 can corn,drained
1 can Rotel tomatoes, drained
2 onions,chopped
2 Red or green bell peppers
2-4 large jalapenos, seeded and diced. Add as much or as little as you like depending on how much heat you like. I used 2 in this one because my grandparent's were eating it.
8oz Italian dressing.

Add the black beans,corn,and Rotel to a large bowl. 
Chop the onion and bell pepper and dice the jalapenos. Add those to the bowl.
Pour in the Italian dressing and give it a good stir. 
Let sit in the refrigerator for 4 hours or over night to let it marinate.

    
 

Parmesan Potato Wedges

This recipe is one of my favorite ways to prepare potatoes. My picky little eater will not eat potatoes unless they are cooked like this. 
If you have a small family, I would cut the recipe in half.

What you need:
6 medium baking potatoes
1/3 cup butter,melted
1 clove garlic,minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese or a little more if you like a lot of cheese :)
1 tsp of Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking pan with foil. Cut each potato into wedges and place into a large bowl.

Add the melted butter,garlic,Parmesan cheese,and Italian seasoning to the bowl of potatoes and stir well to the potatoes.

Place the potatoes onto the foil lined baking pan and bake for 30 minutes or until tender. You may have to scoop some of the yummy cheese off the bottom of the bowl and spread on top of the wedges.

Enjoy!
