Not quite ready to see this go

I have Book Group this coming Saturday, and am going to take an Oatmeal Spice Cake, and will post the recipe if there is any interest. Very easy scratch cake, goes together almost as quickly as a cake mix, but tastes rather better.

Also, I meant it when I asked for other people to post recipes here! Not just writing that for typing practise.

Shameless Attempt to Obtain Recipe for Oatmeal Spice Cake fr

Here is a recipe for corn bread that family and friends like (or have come to expect) at potluck gatherings:

1/2 cup corn meal
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 1/4 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen (thawed)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).

Combine corn meal and buttermilk, let sit for at least an hour to let meal soak in liquid.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar into bowl. Stir in brown sugar.

In a separate bowl, mix together egg, honey and melted butter.

Mix together buttermilk/cornmeal, dry ingredients, and egg mixture until batter is smooth, but not over beaten.

Stir corn into batter.

Pour batter into 9 inch cake pan, of which the bottom and sides have been coated with non-stick spray.

Bake in preheated oven about 30 minutes, until golden brown on top and when toothpick inserted in middle of bread comes out clean.

If you like, crumble two strips of crisply cooked bacon over batter before placing into oven to bake.
 
Well, next Sunday the 25th St. Michaels is having a chicken parmesean dinner, so naturally desserts are what we bring, I will take a chocolate cake with mocha frosting, and a watergate cake, I always bring those two cakes they are very popular, I will also either make a pie of some sort or a new cake recipe also. I will post the recipes later when I dig them out.

Until then here is a pasta salad I fix for many potluck dinners, there is never any left over.

Pasta Salad:
2 1/2 lbs tri-colored springs cooked
1 1/2 lb hard salami sliced thick and cubed
1 lb sandwich pepperoni sliced thick and cubed
2 lbs cheese cubed(I prefer muenster or colby)
2 cans jumbo black olives drained
1 jar green olives drained
1 english cucumber peeled and cubed
1 sweet onion finely chopped
1/2 gallon italian dressing
1 1/2 cups Salad Supreme

after pasta is cooked and cooled slightly in large bowl(Tupperware Thatsa Bowl)mix pasta with half of dressing and the salad supreme. Add in the vegetables, olives, meats and cheese. Mix well. Add remaining dressing. If you like a rather wet salad you will probably need extra dressing.
