LOL! My mom's looks even better than mine! She uses a made from scratch crust.
When are you going to start making the damn things from scratch!
Got a recipe for a made from scratch dough for this thing? I could make this except I don't have the frozen dough.
Made it. Ate some of it. Loved it! It's not exactly like that spice cake I had over the weekend. What I had over the weekend was darker. I'm wondering if it was some sort of pumpkin spice cake or something. But this was yummy in it's own right. I'll have you know I spent about an hour outside on our back steps cracking walnuts with a hammer because all the walnuts I had were black walnuts my dad had brought down from WV for me!! I didn't get near enough for the recipe because the kids were eating them faster than I could crack them. Did get a few saved for the recipe though. The cinnamon was missing the teaspoon or tablespoon thing so I went with teaspoon. Figured that was about right. Or rather hoped that was about right. Haha. Anyway, it was good, Shannon. Thanks!
I got the message about the "stump the cook." I just don't quite know what you asking or thinking of doing. I'll help you anyway I can.
NEVER too much cheese!
LOL! I believe Middle Eastern and Indian cultures use the term "minced" as well.
How about posting some Scottish recipes, Margaret? I know that there are others besides me that would love them!
