Fabulous Food

I stole this from a website! But I want to keep a record for it and try it. I'll be making it tomorrow so I'll post any updates if I change anything.  Ingredients 1 c. diced onion 4 Tablespoons butter 1 cup sour cream* ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon dried parsley ¼ teaspoon turmeric ¼ teaspoon celery seed (or celery salt) optional: dash to ¼ tsp. cayenne Instructions Melt the butter in a heavy pan, then saute the onions over medium for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Turn the heat to medium-low for about 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally and cook until browned and smelling amazing. The onions will have reduced to about ⅓ cup. Allow to cool, but not in the refrigerator (the butter will harden too much). Mix with the sour cream and all the spices. Allow at least an hour for the flavors to blend, and serve at room temperature if possible. Store in the refrigerator. http://www.eatingrules.com/2012/10/homemade-french-onion-chip-dip/

I made this cake for my daddy's birthday, and he's not big on sweets, so I decided to make it a fruit cake.  I'm not going to go through all of the ingredients because it's all pretty straight forward - I'll add links and info where it's needed.  You'll need: Ingredients to make 2 vanilla cakes 2 pints of strawberries (and other fruit if needed) 4 chocolate pudding cups (or 2-3 cups of pudding) 2 packs of dream whip mix and the ingredients to make it 1/2 cup of cream cheese 3-5 tbsp icing sugar This is a layer cake, so if you have two pans you can make the cakes seperately, or you can make one and cut it in half later. I cut mine in half.  You can also use and shaped pan you want - you'll just have to vary the baking times.  Begin by making your two vanilla cakes. Here's the site that I used for the recipe.  Just watch how long you leave it in - mine was done way before 1 hour even with the recipe doubled.  http://m.ricardocuisine.com/recette-detaill...
