We've all been there; we come in from working outside and everyone is hungry. You open the pantry door and you don't have a clue what to make. To you it looks like nothing but I have a few tricks I have learned from living where there isn't a store right down the road. We plan ahead because it can be a couple of weeks or even a month before you can make it to town again. I have learned from my Mother and my Grandmother how to make something from just about nothing and stretch what you have. I hope it helps!

Apple Dapple Cake



A guy that I work with, C. J. is a single dad and a heck of a cook. I always tell him he will make a great wife someday. C. J. is from the South and he has a thick accent, he cracks me, but he is a great cook and dad. He brought this cake for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Holy Cow! Try it out you will not be disappointed.
