Slow Cooker Chocolate Pudding Cake!
Chocolate Pudding Cake:
1 box chocolate cake mix, any kind you prefer
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sour cream
3/4 cups oil
1 1/2 cups water ( I used Sprite, we always substitute the water with Sprite or ginger ale)
1 (6 oz.) pkg chocolate chips
Mix all of the cake ingredients together in a bowl. Spray the slow cooker really well with nonstick cooking spray. Pour cake mixture in the slow cooker and set on low. Cook for 5-6 hours depending on how fast your slow cooker cooks. The newer ones cook at a littler higher temperatures and mine was done in 5 hours. Try not to lift the lid of the slow cooker while cooking as this lets the heat escape and slows down the cooking process.
Chocolate Sauce:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
4 Tbs. flour
2 cups milk
4 Tbs. butter
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
To make the chocolate sauce, mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. In a pan, mix the milk, butter and vanilla until butter is melted. Add in the dry ingredients and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Turn to low to keep warm. If the sauce is a little too thick before serving, drop about a tablespoon of butter into it and whisk. Don't heat it back to boiling but just warm it
To assemble, place a piece of the warm cake in a bowl, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, top that with the chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a cherry! Chocolate Pudding Cake!

Cornbread Salad ...No Joke Y'all!
1 recipe cornbread
1 can niblets corn
1 can ranch beans, chili beans or kidney beans
1/2 cup sweet onion diced
1/2 cup green pepper diced
2 cups cheddar cheese grated
5-6 slices bacon fried crisp
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise...
1 pan of your favorite cornbread or you can use a box of Jiffy cornbread mix prepared, 1/2 cup vidalia or sweet onion, 1/2 cup green pepper, 1 can ranch or chili beans (drained) or kidney beans will also work, 1 can niblets corn (drained), 5-6 slices crisp bacon, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 pkg ranch dressing mix blended with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup sour cream to make the dressing. Be sure you blend these together well.
Take 1/2 cornbread and cut in cubes. Place in the bottom of a tall trifle dish or a big glass salad bowl. A clear bowl just looks prettier because the layers show. Drain the beans well and put over the cornbread layer. Next put half the onion and half the green pepper. Pour half the dressing over this layer. Cut the rest of the cornbread in cubes and do another layer of cornbread. Drain corn well and put it over this layer. Sprinkle the rest of the onion and green pepper over this. Finish the top with the rest of the ranch dressing mix, the grated cheese and the bacon crumbled. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours before serving. This is best made early in the day and refrigerated for several hours to blend the flavors. I wouldn't make it the day before though because it could get soggy.

3 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Sauce:

Homemade Strawberry Ice-Cream Printable Recipe
http://myhoneysplace.com/homemade-strawberry-ice-cream-printable-recipe/
Ingredients
3 cups thickened cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
5 egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
8 oz. chopped ripe strawberries
2 tbs granulated sugar
Instructions
Chill a 1.25L (5-cup) capacity metal loaf pan in the freezer. Place cream in a saucepan. Add vanilla essence. Bring to the boil. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Use a balloon whisk to beat egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale, and a ribbon trail forms when the whisk is lifted. This traps air into the mixture, giving the ice-cream a light texture. Whisk in the cream mixture.
Pour into a clean saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a flat-edged wooden spoon, for 20 minutes or until custard coats the back of the spoon and leaves a trail when you run your finger through it.
Transfer the mixture to a medium heatproof bowl. Cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin forming. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to chill.
Pour the custard into the chilled loaf pan. Cover with foil and place in the freezer for 6 hours or until it's almost set. Use a metal spoon to roughly break up the ice-cream. Transfer the ice-cream to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, combine strawberries and 2 tbs granulated sugar in a bowl. Set aside, stirring occasionally, for 4 hours to macerate. Use a stick blender to blend until almost smooth.
Use an electric beater to beat the strawberry puree into the half-frozen ice-cream for 3 minutes or until smooth and pale. This breaks up the ice crystals and gives the ice-cream a smooth texture. Return to the loaf pan. Cover with foil and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.

Loaded Potato Bites~YUM
Makes 18-24 bites depending on size
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons of flour
2/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
3 strips bacon
1/3 cup scallions, chopped
1 egg
1 ¼ - 1 ½ cups Italian bread crumbs
Oil for frying
Salt and Pepper
Ranch or Honey Mustard for dipping
Take potatoes out of the fridge and let sit for a few minutes to take the chill off a bit. Meanwhile, shred the cheese, chop scallions, and cook bacon then dice finely. Add potatoes and flour to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine well, then add cheese, bacon, and scallions. Take about a heaping tablespoon of mixture and roll with hands into a small balls. It if doesn’t hold its shape, add a little more flour to make the potatoes sturdy. Heat oil in a medium sauce pan (or use your fryer) over med/med hi heat to about 350-375 degrees. Whisk egg into a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in an additional bowl. Dip each ball in egg and then roll in bread crumbs until fully coated. Set aside on a sheet pan. Test oil with one ball. The oil should bubble when potato is in oil and ball should take about 1-2 minutes to brown and cook through. Once oil is ready, add potato balls in small batches and fry for 1-2 minutes-it will depend on size. Remove with slotted spoon and place on plate lined with paper towels to allow excess oil to drain off. Repeat until done. Allow to cool for a minute or two and serve with dipping sauce.
