Last week, I hosted some friends over at my home for our monthly Mahjong night. We rotate homes each month and delight in socializing, eating yummy food and playing Mahjong. Because it’s been so hot here (90’s in October!), I decided to make a salad. Everyone loved my dressing and asked for the recipe. I thought why not share it here!
SALAD DRESSING:
- 1/3 C. Cider Vinegar
- 1 t. Dry Mustard
- 1 t. Grated Onion
- 1 T. Celery Seed
- 1/3 C. Sugar
- 1 t. Salt
Combine ingredients then add 1 C. Vegetable Oil.
My dessert was also a hit. Since it’s October, it felt only fitting to bake a pumpkin dessert for the evening. I told the gals they could find the recipe here on my website. I thought it was only a few years ago that I posted it. However, when I went back to look for it, I found that I posted it back in 2009…yikes! I can’t believe it! So here it is again. If you haven’t tried it–it’s a must–really!
GOOEY PUMPKIN CAKE:
-
1 pkg yellow cake mix
-
1 egg
-
8 T. melted butter
Mix these ingredients together. And be forewarned it will take some work as it’s gonna be quite crumbly! Then pat this into the bottom of a greased 9″ x 13″ pan.
