​2. Squash Casserole (provided by Morgan Brown)
 

5-10 squash

Minced Onion

1 egg

½ cup milk

1 block of sharp cheddar cheese

1 sleeve of Ritz or Saltine crackers

 

Stew squash on stovetop with minced onion. Once squash is tender, drain squash and place in casserole dish. Mix the egg and milk in a separate bowl.

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 4-ounce jar of chopped pimiento drained

2 Tablespoons of sour cream

1 cup of extra sharp cheddar cheese grated

1/2 to 1 cup cheese crackers

 

Combine all ingredients except cheese crackers and spread into a baking pan.( Season mostly with pepper-the soup is already salty.) Crush up cheese crackers spread on top. Bake for 30 minutes at 325°F.

 

 

For cake:

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix

1 egg

8 tablespoons butter, melted

 

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 tablespoons butter, melted

1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

 

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey. Serve with fresh whipped cream.

2 eggs

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3/4 cup flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
 

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 teaspoons mint or peppermint extract

2-3 cups powdered sugar

green food dye

 

Preheat oven to 350°F and line pans with cupcake liners. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil and vanilla extract together. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour in half of these dry ingredients into the oil mixture and stir. Add milk and gently stir again and then add the rest of the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over mix. Fill cupcake liners half full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until and inserted knife comes out clean. Let cool. 

Frosting Prep:

Beat butter until smooth. Add vanilla and mint extract and beat again. Slowly add in powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency (add milk if it becomes too thick). Add as much green food dye as desired. Pipe on cupcakes with Thin Mints! I crushed a few cookies and used them as "sprinkles".
