Look who stopped by...

We are so glad that Grandpa and Shirley were able to visit us in between their travels. We had a great time catching up and getting to know Shirley. Brady LOVES his great grandpa. Thanks for stopping into Cleveland and saying hello, it was a great treat.

Oh yeah by the way

Stephen is getting Married in the Temple Nov. 28 to Holly Morgan. So I guess Thanksgiving is up here. Congrats Stephen!

We need more family recipes

How about everyone list a recipe for General conference. That will be fun.

Egg Casserole

1/2 dozen of eggs

1 cup of cheese

1 cup of sour cream

1 lb of sausage

cook sausage on stove. Drain grease. Lay sausage in 9x13 pan. Sprinkle cheese of the sausage. Mix eggs and sour cream together and pour over the sausage and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

You can add anything you want like onions or bell peppers.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

1/2 C butter
1/2 C oil
1 3/4 C sugar
2 eggs
2 C grated zucchini
1/2 C buttermilk (can be substituted with 1/2 C regular milk and 1/2 TBSP vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes before adding)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 C flour
4 TBSP cocoa
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Combine and mix ingredients. Pour into greased 9x13 pain. Sprinkle 3/4 C brown sugar and 1 package milk chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.

Notes: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and only 1/2 package. I have had it both ways and prefer it with the semi-sweet.

Delicious! Even the kids love it.

I guess this is my queue, thanks Ash...

Bun is in the oven.
