Julie's Easy Coffee Cake

Bible studies are so good!

Especially the Bible studies where ladies bring snacks;
because they bring their "best" snacks!

This little gem showed up at our Bible study one morning and it was gone in a flash!

Like -- a real quick flash!

I didn't have any, that morning anyway, but everyone was talking about how yummy it was!

The little hostess with the mostest jotted the recipe off in a flash and lucky you, I'm passing it along!

On a personal note, I know my friend Julie, who doesn't cook, is going to see this and think I'm talking about her . . .because she's trying to become all domesticated in the kitchen this year . . . but it's not "your" coffee cake Julie -- it's the other Julie from Bible study!  You can't steal her thunder!  I won't allow it!

Julie's Easy Coffee Cake

1 box of yellow cake mix
3 eggs, beaten
1 can of apple pie filling, (or any pie filling; I've done it with apple and peach)**
2T softened butter
1+ cup of chopped pecans (I use 1 -1 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
Mix the cake mix, eggs and pie filling together in a bowl, being careful not to break up the fruit too much, but making sure you've got it all mixed up!  Pour into a 9X13 pan that's been sprayed with Pam.
For the topping**:
Mix  the butter, pecans, brown sugar and white sugar together and sprinkle on top of cake batter.
(I made this again recently and I didn't have pecans to put in the topping so I mixed the butter, sugars and then added a heaping 1/3 cup of old fashioned oats to the mix.  It was fantastic!)

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until done.  (The recipe says 30 minutes, but mine have never been done in that amount of time . . . so you be the judge!)

Enjoy!

**I've made it with blackberry pie filling.  The boy cherub and the Mr. really like it . . .but it looks kind of gross, but it does taste good!  So, if you're taking it someplace and you really want to impress, stay away from the blackberry choice!  The Mr.'s secretary said, "I'll just eat with my eyes closed!"

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
