This old-fashioned peanut butter pie is one your family will love. It’s absolutely delicious.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
If you love peanut butter, this pie is for you, and I assure you… It’s fantastic! The creamy peanut butter layer, combined with the crunch of the crumbs, gives this pie the best texture and flavor. The meringue on this pie is unique since it’s not fluffy. This pie is essentially made with a layer of meringue, as you add the crumb topping and then bake it. We all agree that the merignue really is an excellent addition to this pie.
⭐TIP
The mixture should start to thicken while it is cooking. I don’t let it get as thick as pudding before removing from the heat, as it will continue to thicken as it cools until it is about the consistency of pudding when cool. The mixture doesn’t need to cool before you pour it over the crumb mixture.
This peanut butter pie is an old fashioned classic your family will absolutely love!

112 fl. ounce can evaporated milk
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4cupcornstarch
3eggs separated
1/2cupregular sugar

In a bowl, mix the sugar and peanut butter together using a fork until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Remove 1/2 cup crumbs and set aside. Spread the rest of the crumbs in the baked pie shell. Mix together 2 tablespoons margarine, evaporated milk, salt, the 3 egg yolks (keep the whites for the meringue), 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a pan. Cook on medium heat on top of the stove stirring constantly until thickens. (about 5 to 7 minutes). I remove as soon as it starts to thicken. (This will burn easily so watch it closely).
Pour this over the crumb mixture in the pie shell. Beat the 3 egg whites until stiff and spread over the pie. Spread remaining crumbs on top of the meringue.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 20 minutes. (I usually turn the broiler on for a few seconds before removing the pie but watch it constantly or it will burn on top).

This Old Fashioned Potato candy is a favorite. The combination of potato, powdered sugar and peanut butter is a family favorite.
If you love this old fashioned candy you will also want to try these wonderful Coconut Pecan Pralines! These are a great addition to any holiday gathering.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe was made popular during the Great Depression era. We love this recipe because the taste is wonderful! It’s hard to leave this candy alone and we love to make it for Christmas. I remember as a kid opening up a tin from the neighbors and this delicious candy would be stacked between wax paper and I would be so excited. It’s that delicious and everyone should try it!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
Potato
Powdered Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Creamy Peanut Butter
SWAPS
You can use other nut butters in this recipe if you prefer! You could also combine nut butters if you like or add nutella to this recipe too. You can be creative.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This recipe takes a little bit of work but once you learn the consistency it will come together really quickly. Full Printable Recipe below.
📖COOKING STEPS
Step 1 Boil potato, peel and put into a large bowl. Mash until lump free. Add two cups of powdered sugar to mixture.
Step 2 Continue to mix until sugar is combined with potato. Add in vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the mixture reaches a consistency you can mold into a ball.
Step 3 Transfer to a sugared board and sprinkle with more powdered sugar. Roll with a rolling pin. Spread with peanut butter and roll from the long side like a jelly roll. Slice into pieces.
⭐TIPS & NOTES
Do not use granulated sugar, it must be powdered sugar for this recipe to work. The amount of powdered sugar matters and it can vary depending on how much potato you use. This is an old fashioned recipe, so you will need to start with a small potato and just continue to work with the powdered sugar until you get the consistency you need. You don’t want it to crack when you roll it out, you want it to be more clay like. Work quickly the dough will dry out.
If you roll the dough and feel it needs to be chilled before slicing, cut the roll in half and store in the fridge for a bit. Then remove and slice.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
Kings Hawaiian Rolls
Onion
Sweet pickle relish
Mayonnaise
Apple Cider Vinegar
Sugar
Smoked paprika
Yellow mustard
Onion powder
Ground beef
Worcestershire sauce
Black pepper
Salt, divided
Cheddar cheese, grated
Dill hamburger pickles, chopped
Sesame seeds
Shredded iceberg lettuce ( I bought it in the bag)
Butter, melted
SWAPS
You could easily switch out the ground beef in this recipe for ground turkey. It’s delicious either way!
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These sliders aren’t hard to make but do take a little prep. The best way to make these is to organize all of your ingredients before you get started. Then you can work your way through the process.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut down the center of the Hawaiian buns and place the bottom in a baking pan. You can also just buy the Hawaiian Slider Buns to make this easier. Grate about 2 tablespoons of onion and set aside, juice and all. Chop the remaining half of the onion. Combine mayonnaise, grated onion and juice, sugar, sweet pickle relish, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, vinegar, mustard, smoked paprika, and onion powder in a bowl and combine well.
Step 2 In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat, add chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce,remaining salt, pepper, and cook for a minute or so. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of grated cheese and 2/3 cup of the sauce.
Step 3 Pour meat mixture over the bottom of the slider buns, top with remaining cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce and drizzle on the rest of the sauce. Add the tops of buns, brush on melted butter then sprinkle on sesame seeds. Bake in oven for about 10-12 minutes. Remove and enjoy.
⭐TIP
I think these sliders are best served fresh but you can reheat them. If you are making them for a tailgate you can easily double the recipe.
If you have any leftover of these, we store the in a tupperware container in the refrigerator. We just reheat in the microwave. This makes 12 sliders, so about 4-6 servings.

This Sorghum Cornbread is a wonderful addition to any meal! We love to top it with butter and extra sorghum for a real treat!
If you love this recipe, you will also love our delicious Pumpkin Cornbread. It’s a wonderful Fall treat and goes great with chili!
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
If you have followed our site for any amount of time you know we are huge sorghum fans. When Leigh and I were little we grew up in a community that had a wonderful fall festival and they made sorghum at the festival. It always smelled so good! This cornbread is delicious with butter and a cup of coffee.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
Self-rising cornmeal
All-purpose flour
Ground cinnamon
Ground ginger
Salt
Ground cloves
Ground nutmeg
Brown sugar
Buttermilk
Eggs
Vanilla extract
Sorghum syrup
Butter
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
The hardest part about this recipe is organizing your ingredients. I always like to get everything out and measured correctly before I start.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1 Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt, ground cloves, ground nutmeg and sugar until well mixed. Add eggs and buttermilk plus vanilla extract and sorghum syrup. Stir well with a spoon.
Step 2 Spray a 10 inch iron skillet with cooking spray. Add the butter and put skillet into preheated 425 degree oven until butter melts. Add the cornbread mix and bake at the same 425 degree temperature 25 to 30 minutes.
⭐TIP
This recipe calls for buttermilk and many people will ask if you can use a buttermilk substitute. You can but it will change the fat content of the cornbread. The buttermilk adds fat which is what makes the cornbread delicious.
You can also use a 2 quart baking pan, but be sure and check on how quickly it is cooking and you would need to spray the pan instead of melting the butter in it.
This Sorghum Cornbread is made in a skillet and a great addition to any chili or crock pot dish. We love it during the Fall season.

We love this cake because it’s super simple and delicious. Plus we just top it with powdered sugar and it’s great that way. You could add a frosting if you like but this is just an easy cake you can enjoy with a cup of coffee. It’s perfect for brunch!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon
Butter,
Eggs
White granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Vanilla extract
Apples,
Pecans or walnuts, (optional)
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This cake comes together quickly, and you can use any apples you like. We used Gala in this recipe, but we also love the Cosmic apples, but any will work.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1 Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Cream butter and eggs with mixer, add white and brown sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 2 Fold in grated apples and nuts with a spoon and mix until all ingredients are wet. Spray a 10 inch bundt pan with cooking spray and pour in cake batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes until center tests done.
Step 3 Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Make 1 bundt cake.
⭐TIP
When spraying your cake pan, we like to use the Bakers Joy spray with flour in it. It seems to work well on bundt pans, which are known for sticking. The Bakers Joy Spray can be found in the baking aisle at Walmart, along with the nonstick cooking spray.

If you are fan of delicious chocolate desserts, you will definitely want to give this delicious Sweet Chocolate Pie a try. It’s a wonderful dessert and has many great reviews.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Buttermilk cake is good to serve family and friends as dessert or with a tall glass of milk anytime. This buttermilk cake is wonderful for any holiday. It is a classic that never goes out of style and one you will make over and over again. It makes a great presentation served on any buffet and there will not be any leftover. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream or just plain with coffee. This buttermilk cake speaks for itself. I love the simplicity of the cake and the good old-fashioned taste. You can never go wrong with this one.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
White Sugar
Shortening
Eggs
Vanilla extract
All-purpose flour
Salt
Baking soda
Buttermilk
Chocolate Frosting Ingredients
Butter
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Milk
Cocoa ( I use Nestles 100% pure cocoa)
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This cake is not difficult to make and you can fully watch the process in the video player below that is located in the recipe card.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1 Preheat oven to 325. Beat sugar, shortening, vanilla and eggs together with spoon or mixer. Mix flour, salt and baking soda with a wire whisk and add to creamed mixture.
Step 2 Add buttermilk and continue mixing until smooth. Divide between 3 sprayed cake pans and bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until centers test done.
Step 3 Let cool and remove from pans. You can frost with any frosting you like. I used the chocolate below.
Step 4 Frosting Instructions: Mix all ingredients with mixer until spreading consistency. Spread on cake.
⭐TIP
Many people don’t keep buttermilk on hand and will ask about using a substitute. I don’t feel that would be a good thing to use in this cake. Buttermilk has a higher fat and that is needed in this recipe. You won’t have the added fat when you use a buttermilk substitute.

sugar
baking powder
baking soda
teaspoon salt
teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
buttermilk
butter
eggs
SWAPS
Its inevitable that someone will ask if you can use regular milk instead of buttermilk. I am sure you can, but it WILL change the fat content of the bread. Buttermilk is high in fat and gives a different texture than regular milk.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
Since this bread is a quick bread and doesn’t use yeast, it really comes together quickly. We love quick breads for the exact reason.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1 In a large bowl combine flour, cheese, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper. In a smaller bowl beat eggs, melted butter and buttermilk together with a whisk. Add to flour mixture and mix with a spoon just enough to wet all the ingredients.
Step 2 Pour mixture into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan that has just the bottom of the pan sprayed or greased. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan. Store in refrigerator.
⭐TIP
Optional ingredients: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes. This adds a little more flavor! This is a versatile bread and you can add what you like to make it more your taste.
This bread goes great with a spring salad for a big bowl of chili or potato soup. It’s very versatile and a recipe you can enjoy year round. It’s super easy to make and wonderful right out of the oven. You can always switch out the cheddar cheese for asiago, mozzarella or any your family loves.
