Wassel Drink

This is a recipe from Danny's co-worker Robbi. We haven't made it because she does for us. But it's good!

2 Gallons Apple Juice
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 small package frozen lemonade
1 orange sliced
4-6 Cinnamon sticks
8-10 whole cloves

In a large pot mix all ingredients, bring to a boil then turn down and simmer for 30 minutes. Keep warm while serving.

Peach Cobbler

I got this recipe from Thomasville Ward Relief Society Cookbook. YUM YUM....did I mention YUM! (You can also make this with cherry pie filling instead of peaches(do not drain off any liquid if you use the cherry pie filling). 2 Cans. Or do what I've done and make 1/2 and 1/2 . 1 can of peaches and 1 can of cherries and then put cherries on one half and peaches on another. I'm sure it could be used with blueberries or blackberries I've just never tried it!)

2 sticks of butter (melted)
2 c. self rising flour
2 c. granulated sugar
2 c. milk
2 big cans of peaches(liquid drained off)

Pour the melted butter on the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan (the deeper the better).
Mix together flour, sugar, and milk.
Pour batter over butter (do not stir!)
Pour peaches on top of batter (again don't stir they will settle on their own).
Bake at 350° for one hour.
ENJOY.

Spinach Stuffed Shells

I got this recipe from Thomasville Ward Relief Society Cookbook thought it sounded good and tried it.

10 ounces of frozen spinach (cooked and drained)
8 oz jumbo shell pasta (I found it was about 16-18 shells, cooked and drained)
2c. cottage cheese
2 egg whites
4 ounces of shredded Mozzarella
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic
1 pt. spaghetti sauce

Combine spinach, cottage cheese, egg whites, mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic powder. Stuff into shells. Pour sauce over shells. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes.

For a little extra I sprinkled shredded cheese on top before baking.

Corn Casserole

This we had at Danny's mom's house for a side dish at Christmas dinner last year. It was a hit with everyone. YUM!

8 oz sour cream
1 can sweet corn (drain off water)
1 can creamed corn
1 box jiffy cornbread mix
1 stick of butter(softened or melted either way works)

combine all ingredients.
place in a large casserole dish (you don't want it to be too thick or it wont cook fully)
bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes (or until done) it will still be soft but as long as it's turned golden brown it should be done!
