Luscious Four Layer Pumpkin Cake

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog12 Comments

This is a reblog of one of my favorite holiday recipes…. I love this cake and I am determined to make it this year… I may even make it before Thanksgiving as I really want to enjoy it. It’s kind of hard to enjoy something so yummy when you are stuffed from all that turkey and other goodies from a big dinner.

Maybe this year we will kind of stretch out Thanksgiving a bit and have a few of our favorites throughout the Thanksgiving/Christmas season so we can enjoy them even more.

Sometimes it is hard to get kids to eat their veggies and we have to resort to all kinds of tricks to sneak the veggies in however this is a tried and true way to get them to eat veggies and like eating them. My sister had mentioned that she had made this also and that my nephews liked it which was amazing.

The amounts may not be exact as this is one of those recipes where I just kind of dump everything in together. You may want to tweak them to your liking but I hope you enjoy it. You could probably also top this with French’s Onions instead of the cracker crumbs. Continue reading “Vegetable Casserole” →

Grandma’s Mac N Cheese w/low carb alternative

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog24 Comments

Now I do confess that in years past I used boxed macaroni and cheese a lot because: 

  1. it’s cheap
  2. it’s easy
  3. I was too tired to make the real deal

However, I did try to make this recipe every so often and on special occasions and/or holidays. You can add a little ham or meat to make this a hearty main dish!

Things have changed over the years and we rarely buy the boxed stuff anymore at all. We’ve even adapted this for our low-carb eating and that recipe is below.
