I have been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from my original cookbook which many of you have. I'm also going to be adding pictures as I retest many of these recipes. They aren't the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. They're comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Almond Joy Cake

1 German chocolate cake mix

Mix according to directions and divide batter between two 13" x 9" cake pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Coconut topping:

1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
24 large marshmallows
1 (14 oz.) bag coconut

Put milk and sugar in saucepan.  Bring to boil, remove from heat.  Add marshmallows and stir until melted.  Add coconut.  Divide and pour over the two cakes.
 
Fudge topping:

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2cup evaporated milk
1/2cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup whole almonds, toasted
1 (12 oz.) package milk chocolate chips

Heat sugar, milk, and butter in saucepan.  Bring to a rapid boil and boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted.  Stir in toasted almonds and drizzle over the two cakes.

Tonya Organ, a former co-worker, brought this moist yummy cake to share at work one day.  It tastes just like an Almond Joy.
