	Carrot Cupcakes with Orange Icing by laby Yum! These cupcakes are really good. The cakes themselves were nice and moist with a good texture. I used regular dark raisins instead of golden because that's what I had. You could use a little bit more spice. They would have been a little bland had it not been for the flavorful icing. I didn't measure the orange zest, I zested one…	1 vote 342 views

	Cabbage Noodles by laby I've got an aunt that makes boiled cabbage and noodles I haven't had often but it's really good seasoned with some Jane's Krazy Mixed-up Salt. I saw this recipe at Handle like candy for something really similar but fried.

	Spicy Roasted Chicken by laby Spicy Roasted ChickenI didn't get a photo of this one but the pictures at Dinners for a Year and Beyond where I found the recipe are pretty good so you can check there to see what it should look like. I halve the recipe to make one chicken. The spice rub was pretty good, not too overwhelming. I didn't have any mashed potatoes so I…	1 vote 386 views
	Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt Cake by laby Blueberry Buttermilk Bundt CakeHere's another recipe I made ages ago that I am just getting around to posting. I made it twice. The first time I used real butter and frozen blueberries, it was really good. I made it again the next week using I can't believe it's not butter and fresh blueberries. It was okay but not as good as the…	1 vote 419 views
	Baker's Coating by laby Baker's CoatingI found a recipe for Baker's Coating in a book called Morning Glories by Sharon Kebschull Barrett. It's like a brush on version of Bakers Joy you use it whenever a recipe calls to grease and flour a pan.I adore this stuff. I never have cakes stick when I use this. All it is is equal parts oil, shortening and flour. The…	1 vote 269 views
	Mama Pilla's North Carolina Green Beans by laby Mama Pilla's North Carolina Green BeansI made this last summer when the beans were coming in.

Snap the ends off your beans and snap them into 2 or 3 pieces. Place the beans in the…	1 vote 444 views
	Easy Lemon Bars by laby Easy Lemon BarsThese are not your usual lemons bars. I like them but they didn't go over well with anyone else. I ended up eating almost the whole pan myself. However having to eat that many bars by myself means I don't think I'll be making them again.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Pourcake mix into a large bowl. Add…	1 vote 1867 views
