Grandma's Recipes
Grandma's Fruit Cocktail Cake
A cake with fruit cocktail in it? This recipe really intrigued me. There is no oil or butter in this cake, so the juice from the fruit is what brings everything together. It was a delicious, moist cake with a caramelized top from the brown sugar and nuts. The little bits of fruit were studded throughout and tasted especially yummy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Autumn Jello Salad
The colors of his salad are red, orange and yellow, so we decided to call it Autumn Jello Salad. I know, I know....how is jello considered a salad? Well, just go with it and try this one! The flavors are really good together, not too sweet, and unique from other jello salads. It's a recipe of my grandma and we love it!
Grandma's Cottage Cheese Jello Salad
This is a very nostalgic recipe for me! My grandma would make this for every Thanksgiving that I can remember. It is creamy, light, lemon-limey, fruity, and a not too sweet. A very unique salad that sets so well you can cut it into squares. The color is fun too. Doesn't it just look like the 1950's?
Pudding Bars
Talk about an easy recipe that turned out so yummy! These pudding bars are simply made by combining a cake mix batter with a prepared instant pudding, then adding a bag of chocolate chips. Bake it in a half sheet pan, then slice and share. So fudgy, but still cake. You can make it with any flavor pudding or cake mix, as well as different chips like white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch, to create unique bar flavors.
Marshmallow Popcorn Balls
Popcorn balls! What kid would turn one of these down? Actually, what sane adult would? They just say fun! They are really the perfect treat. Single wrapped servings, easy to transport and share, and so yummy. This is our go-to treat for school birthdays and soccer games as well. Kids love to get in on the making of these balls too....sticky hands making balls like you would a snowball - oh yes! These aren't your average caramel popcorn balls either.....they have a special gooey marshmallow concoction that keeps it all together. Doesn't your kiddo deserve this perfect kid treat? !
Apple Cobbler
For the ultimate fall dessert, give this apple cobbler a try! It is my grandma's recipe and is so warm and comforting. The dumplings on top are delicious and work great gluten free. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it's a dessert you will love to share year after year!
