"September Recipes".....

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it!.....Goerge Eliot
Today is Sunday.....The first September Sunday of 2008.....It is close to 100 degrees here at our house, but I am working on Halloween swap boxes,... doing a bit of cooking... & quite contently pretending it is a lovely Autumn day, with crisp, cool temps. & leaves a falling. I am quite tardy with the posting of recipes, so I thought I would rectify that with this post! I am sharing two amazing recipes, both of which are especially good at this time of year! The first is a recipe I was given by my good friend Linda... She lives in the tiniest of villages back east, in a big old house & is quite the cook! This cake she shared one day when a group of us were getting together at my house to quilt. It is "German Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Icing" & is simply delectable!.....The other is a Gooseberry Patch recipe, for "corn pudding" that I have made dozens of times over the last several years. This corn pudding is something that can be made at this time of year to accompany turkey or beef, but also works well along side mexican dishes as well!.....Try them for yourself....I'm sure they will become "family favorites" at your house too!
Gooseberry Patch Corn Pudding:
16 oz. can corn, drained
16 oz. can creamed corn
2 eggs, beaten
8 oz. pkg. corn muffin mix

These both sound really delicious Heidi, especially the cake. I'll add these ingredients to my grocery list for today. Thank you for sharing them.
I have a similar recipe to the corn pudding, and everyone LOVES it. Can hardly wait to try the German Apple Cake. I made the Apple Cake Doris this weekend and definitely kept my reputation as an excellent cook! I'll put a plug in with my next post!

Heidi, these sound delicious. I am going to have to try them - especially the corn pudding. My family loves all kinds of corn pudding.
Those recipes do sound D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S!

Humm... I could do with a slice of THE German Apple cake, right now, followed by English Tea... of course!

yum! Both recipes sound great! I can't wait to try th apple cake- my husband loves things like this...and I have never found a Gooseberry Patch recipe I didn't like!
That apple cake sounds soooo yummy! We're planning on going to the orchard this weekend. This recipe will be a great way to use some of the apples! Not just for apple crisp! :)
Sounds delicious! I love your fall colors. Everybody seems to be in that "Halloween's in the air" frame of mind!
