My stolen recipe from Laurel's house.

My stolen recipe from Laurel’s house.

Go ahead and make a double batch. Trust me.

 

I no longer have to go to my sisters house in Idaho to eat his baby.  Why have I waited so long to bring this to my own kitchen?  I recently shared this at a neighborhood gathering and we now have a whole crew of Utah Fans to share the recipe with.

It is very simple!  Bake your favorite chocolate cake mix on a cookie sheet and let cool while you make the creamy filling.  (The ingredients will surprise you!)  Spread the creamy goodness and refrigerate a few hours or overnight to fully dissolve the sugar.  Then make the cocoa frosting and serve cold.

It will be your new favorite!  Kids will love you.  (And there is a secret stash  of wrapped single portions hidden in the package that looks like it contains Brussels Sprouts in the freezer! Ha!

Grandma Joyce

Why Table For Fifty?

For 70+ years, Grandma Joyce has been perfecting her own recipes and training a second and third generation of great cooks, All of us cook, and garden, and do-it-ourselves. It’s the way we were raised. At this writing, if you count children, children’s spouses and grandchildren, there are exactly FIFTY of us. Thus, TableForFifty is a collection of second and third generation recipes we have shared with one another.

Home Cooking Starts at Home

table for fifty home
The family home, built in 1901 has been a place for family gatherings for five generations. Today, Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Jim maintain the home, a large vegetable garden, and enough flowers that the two of them have instituted a "don't ask, don't tell" policy with regard to the nursery and bedding plant budget.
