Pumpkin Pie Cake

-
This recipe is for all of you pumpkin pie lovers out there. This. is. better. For realsies. I got this from my friend Susie and it's the bomb diggity. I think it's something like 8000 calories per bite, but it's worth it.  Not exactly cake... not exactly pie.... just think of it as pumpkin perfection on a plate and go with it.

Crust:
1 box yellow cake mix (reserve 1 cup for topping)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg

Filling:
20 oz pureed pumpkin (not 29 ounces!)
12 oz can of evaporated milk
1 and 1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Topping:
1 cup cake mix (that has been reserved)
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 cup butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 pan (I used just a metal cake pan).

Mix together CRUST ingredients and spread into the bottom of pan.

Mix FILLING ingredients together very well and pour over crust.

Mix TOPPING ingredients together until crumbly and sprinkle over the top.

Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Let cool* and serve with whip cream or cool whip!


*It was delicious after it had cooled uncovered for about an hour, but it was even better the next morning after it had been sitting covered with tin foil all night. If serving guests, I would bake it in the morning, allow it to cool for a few hours on the counter uncovered. Then cover it for the rest of the day until ready for dessert.

Orange BBQ Chicken Kabobs

This easy, tasty chicken recipe requires no marinading time ! It was so easy and so flavorful! I found a version of it on www.allrecipes.com Orange BBQ Chicken Kabobs Cut chicken into kabob-sized chunks and put on skewers. Mix 2 parts BBQ sauce and 1 part orange juice concentrate. (I mixed two separate batches just to make sure there was no raw chicken cross contamination.) Spoon generous amount over kabobs Place on grill and cook for 10 minutes Flip over with tongs and brush remaining sauce onto kabobs. Grill for additional 5-10 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked. This can also be done in the oven! Put the kabobs on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet. BROIL for about 20 minutes on one side, flip, sauce up again, BROIL for about 10 minutes on the other side!

Homestyle Turkey, The Michigander Way

This turkey was pretty much amazing. Very flavorful and extremely tender throughout. I'm not very experienced with making delicious turkeys, so I would call this a no-fail recipe. I found it originally at Allrecipes . I served it for Thanksgiving dinner and all the eaters were completely ga-ga! Ingredients 1 (12 pound) whole turkey 6 tablespoons butter, divided 4 cups warm water 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon 2 tablespoons dried parsley 2 tablespoons dried minced onion (I used fresh) 2 tablespoons seasoning salt Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets, or add to pan if they are anyone's favorites. Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. You do not need to cut the skin. Just pull it up a little and shove your hand under it -- gross, but if I can do it, you can do it. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This...
