I fell in love with cooking as a little girl, sitting on the counter, helping Mom cook. That shared love of cooking is what this blog is all about. I want this to be a place where we can all share and learn from each other all our favorite recipes, kitchen tips, and more. From how to fry an egg to Grandma's tried and true classics to your favorite olive oil. I hope everyone enjoys the blog, has fun with it, and will contribute your own ideas.

Truvy's Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa Cake

OK so thanks to The Pioneer Woman for posting this recipe. It is Truvy's Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa cake from Steel Magnolias. It looked so good and I just happened to have a can of fruit cocktail in the pantry so when the kids took their nap I made one really quick. It is SO good. As soon as I tasted it I had memories of Meemaw and my Aunt Mildred fill my head. I don't know if they made this (or something similar..) when I was younger, or what? Mom said it is similar to a dump cake they used to make a lot. And I know it tastes a lot like Meemaws "lazy cobbler" she used to make with canned peaches once in a while. Anyway, it is really good. A little on the rich side, but good. And how much easier can you GET? Really?! Anyone could make this. I suggest serving it with cool whip or maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
