This is my very favorite and is often called Rotten Cake in my old Southern church cookbooks, because you should make it 3 days in advance, to let it sit in the fridge to become one of the moistest coconut cakes you'll ever taste! (If you can wait that long!)

3 Day Old Coconut Cake

1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix

1 (16 oz.) container sour cream

1 cup white sugar

1 (8 oz.) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (12 oz.) package of frozen coconut

Grease and flour two 9 inch pans. Prepare cake mix as directed , using milk in place of water.

Bake according to instructions on package. Let cake cool 5 minutes, remove from pans and cut in half, horizontally.

To make the filling:

Mix together the sour cream and sugar in a medium sized bowl, stir in the coconut. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture and slowly spread the rest on the cut cake layers and let it soak in.

Fold whipped topping into the remaining filling. Assemble layers and frost the outside of the cake.

Refrigerate from 1 to 3 days before serving (the longer, the moister!)

*Note* - For Easter I dye some coconut green and sprinkle on top or make 'nests' of dyed coconut & add mini jelly beans to the nests.

You can also toast some coconut to sprinkle on top.

Works great using reduced fat sour cream and lite whipped topping too!

Next Ingredient: Shrimp (meal or appetizer)

Losing interest here or lost posters with shutdown?

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

house_cat — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 22:47:18 GMT

@Qwalker

@walker

I'm so confused! Are you the same person? I've always loved QWalker's recipes, then you disappeared and Walker appeared... now you're back! Are you still the original QWalker?

Personally I hadn't lost interest, but I wasn't able to sign in for more than a week. On top of that, I've been very busy. I think this is the time of year when everyone will get distracted, but I know we'll keep the thread lively, if a bit more slowly than usual.

Next ingredient: Soy sauce or Worchestershire sauce

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

KingstonsMom — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 23:25:04 GMT

@Qwalker

I'll match your last ingredient (beef) and add your new ingredient, soy sauce, LOL!

This a great 5 star recipe from 'The Recipe Critic':

SLOW COOKER BEEF AND BROCCOLI

This Beef and Broccoli takes just minutes to throw in the slow cooker. The beef melts in your mouth and the flavor is out of this world! My top five favorite recipes on the blog!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound beef chuck roast boneless, sliced into thin strips

▢1 cup beef consomme or beef broth
▢1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
▢1/3 cup dark brown sugar
▢1 tbsp. sesame oil
▢3 garlic cloves minced
▢1/4 cup cornstarch
▢Frozen Broccoli Florets about 3 cups (I used one 14 oz bag)
▢White or brown rice cooked

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef consume, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic.
Lay the beef strips in the crockpot and pour the sauce over, tossing the strips to coat.
Turn the crockpoton low and cook for about 6 hours. Mine was ready at 5. You don't want to cook the beef too long or it will start to shred.
About an hour before it is done, take ¼ cup of the sauce and whisk it in a small bowl with the cornstarch. Slowly stir this into the crockpot. Add in the broccoli the last 30 minutes and let the broccoli cook through. You don't want to add the broccoli until the very end or it will be mushy.
Serve over white rice and enjoy!!

I agree that the inability to even sign in to the forums for so long caused a lot of posters to give up, not worth the aggravation.

Between that, the holidays approaching and needing to prepare earlier than usual and many trying to get their booster shot if they want them and may other circumstances all probably contributed to a lack of interest here.

@KingstonsMom

That recipe looks delicious. I have fresh broccoli and boneless chicken thighs for Tuesday dinner. I'm wondering if I can modify it, using chicken broth.

Absolutely, that would be yummy too!

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

Qwalker — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 02:36:13 GMT

@house_cat .... I am now Qwalker and was walker originally! Changes have been made but not by my choosing over recent years. First I was walker, then QVC made changes and would not recognize it so I added "Q". Then changes again put me back to walker. Due to recent shutdown I had to start over and take Qwalker because it said walker was in use!!! YES, BY ME!! No wonder I am so confused! haha. Crazy!

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... FAVORITE JELLO or FRUIT TYPE
DESSERT, your choice

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

house_cat — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 10:50:32 GMT

@Qwalker

Thank you for the clarification. I'm glad it's you, in any case. I always enjoy your recipes. Just to make things more confusing, when I clicked to tag you in this post, both "Qwalker" and "walker" were available choices!

I've had to change my nic a couple of times for the same reasons. I eventually added the _ between "house" and "cat", because I was told "house cat" was already in use.... you guessed it... it was in use by me!

2 cups boiling water

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... BUTTER

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

KingstonsMom — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:14:08 GMT

Last Ingredient = BUTTER

In keeping with the holidays coming up, this is a light, moist, not too sweet cake from Taste of Home, it's always the first dessert to vanish from the dessert table!

It's also great for coffee and tea at breakfast or for a snack.

It's very versatile and you can add any of your favorites, coconut, different nuts, chocolate chips, etc. to the cranberry cake.

Or use this same recipe with a different fruit than cranberry, blueberry, raspberry, add a little white chocolate shavings.....the possibilities are endless, my kind of recipe!

If you don't care for almond extract, just sub vanilla or your favorite flavor instead. (orange extract works well with cranberry too!)

CRANBERRY CAKE

Ingredients

3 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
2/3 cup chopped pecans
Whipped cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until slightly thickened and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Add butter and extract; beat 2 minutes. Gradually stir in flour just until combined. Stir in cranberries and pecans. Spread in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. If desired, serve with whipped cream.

Butter Pecan Chicken

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt for seasoning
pepper for seasoning
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken with kosher salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil (I use avocado) and 1 tablespoon butter to the hot pan.
Place chicken in the pan and cook for about 10 min on each side (depending on thickness).
When the chicken is almost cooked through (about 150 degrees internal temp), remove the chicken from the pan, and add pecans, butter, chicken broth, brown sugar, honey, thyme leaves, and parsley. Whisk together over medium heat, then add the chicken back to pan.
Simmer gently for about 5-8 more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes when the sauce is bubbly and thickened, and the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees.

Next ingredient:

Brussels sprouts or leftover Brussels sprouts

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

Qwalker — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 13:17:13 GMT

BRUSSELS SPROUTS with Cranberry Balsamic Glaze*

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon water

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 lbs. fresh or frozen BRUSSELS SPROUTS, trimmed and

halved

1/4 cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

Combine vinegar, water, oil, and salt in a blender or food processor: pulse until well combined. Set aside.

Use a saucepan that will accommodate a vegetable steamer. Put 2-3" of water in the pan. Cover and bring to a boil. Place the steamer in the pan, and then the prepared BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Cover. Steam sprouts 5-8 minutes or until they're just tender. (Use fork for poke-test.)

Lift the sprouts out of the pans. Toss them with the cranberries and then dressing before serving.

To fix in microwave...follow step one for dressing. Place prepared sprouts and 2-3 tablespoons water in microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir and re-cover. Repeat 3 times, or more, just until the sprouts are as tender as you like them. Drain off cooking water. Then mix with cranberries and dressing.

I know many of you don't have a smoker...but if you do...OH man were these good.

I used Jim Beam Honey Bourbon and cut back on the honey so they were not overly sweet.

These are perfect for the oven or AF as well. Dicing them helped the flavor go all the way through each bite.

Family is not a fan of Sweet Pot casseroles w/ marsh or crumb toppings, so this was a more 'pure' way to enjoy their flavor.

Smoked Sweet Potatoes

Not just whole sweet potatoes cooked on a smoker, these are diced before smoking.

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
2 Tablespoons honey
1½ teaspoons bourbon
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sage or other herbs, see notes

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt butter over medium low heat in small sauce pan.
Add additional ingredients and stir to blend.
Place cubed sweet potatoes in a 10" cast iron skillet and top with butter mixture, stirring.
Cook in smoker or grill with wood chips in box at approximately 275° for 2+/- hours, stirring every 20 minutes. Remove and from heat when a fork pierces a cube without resistance.

NOTES

Additional herb options are rosemary or thyme.

Honey can be substituted with brown sugar.

Cooking times and temperature can vary if cooking with additional items at a different temperature. Check for doneness each time the sweet potatoes are stirred.

Next ingredient: baking powder

Re: NOVEMBER RECIPE GAME 🍂🦃

vabreeze — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 18:06:03 GMT

@RespectLife

I want to try to cook smoked sweet potatoes in my air fryer. For the smoky flavor, do you think adding a little liquid smoke or smoked paprika to the saucepan mixture would work? Sage, rosemary and thyme make me think of seasoning some good ole cornbread dressing so I imagine all three would be great in this recipe.

I thought I would never be able to get back on this site-- I've been locked out for the longest!
