Pina Colada Cake

Do you like piña coladas?  And gettin' caught in the rain?  

Then I have a cake for you.

It's found in our church's cookbook, and it's actually called "Piña Colada Cake."  I've made it so many times now, I can pretty much make it in my sleep.  At least twice a year, Easter and Christmas, it's a family "special occasion" favorite--I even make the occasional cake for my aunt's birthday because she's so crazy about them.

Chicken Ball

This is actually a family recipe that I got from my aunt, out of a church cookbook (Recipes and Reflections, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Clover SC, and you should probably track the cookbook down, because it's got a lot of delicious recipes in it.)

Slow Cooker Spaghetti Sauce

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for something that you can just toss in the crock-pot, let it simmer for a few hours, and then come back to it and have a nice, delicious meal ready.

Well, I can't promise that, but I can promise you a meat sauce that you can use for spaghetti, beefaroni, or pretty much anything else you want to use it with. It can also serve as the base for chili (with or without beans).

It's a pretty low-maintenance recipe that you can spice up with any additives that you want. Mostly I just add cheese near the end, shredded cheddar or Mozzarella if I've got it on hand, because we're a cheese-eating family here.

Spicy Beef Roast

Like pretty much every single other person on the planet, I'm always looking for things. A new purse, the exact right pair of jeans that fit perfectly and make me look flawless while being extraordinarily affordable, a nifty pair of shoes that don't hurt my feet and yet offer decent support, the best deal on Fancy Feast cat food for two picky cats who don't know how good they've got it.

Mostly, though? I look for recipes. Because cooking is not my favorite thing to do. I don't MIND it, oddly enough, I just get tired of DOING it every night, and I'm occasionally always looking for something new to try that's easy, that tastes delicious, and that doesn't break my budget.

While in recent months, both Pinterest and Six Sisters' Stuff has filled that void, I came across a recipe of my own that I discovered a few years back. It's from a booklet of recipes at Crock-Pot.com and is amazingly good.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Dip

I found this on Tumblr and it had been reblogged so many times, I could not find the actual original attribution. I traced it as far back as I could, to the blog of the person (Jessica) who first posted it, but not the exact post.

That being said? It looks so sinfully delicious I can't wait to try it, and I thought it'd be worth sharing.
