I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe yet. This has been a family favorite for years! It's so delicious! I hope you enjoy it!

What you need:

1 box of Yellow cake mix

3/4 of a package of the large Instant Vanilla Pudding

4 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup water

1 tsp. rum flavoring

1/2 cup melted butter

1/4 cup poppyseeds

Grease a bundt pan. Mix cake mix and pudding together first and then add the rest of the ingredients. Mix until well blended. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Glaze:

1/2 tsp. milk

1 tbs. melted butter

Juice of 1/2 a lemon (you can use lemon juice, just follow instructions on how much you need for half a lemon)

1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients together. Drizzle over cake after it's cooled for about 10 minutes.

Biscuits and Gravy

This recipe is another great one from my friends blog www.nummiesforyou.blogspot.com . You should definately check her blog out! I made this for dinner the other night because I was in the mood for something simple and fast. This was simple and fast and was very delicious! I served the gravy over mashed potatoes and had the biscuits as a side to dip into the gravy!

What you need:

Biscuits:

2 cups flour

3 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup milk

2 tsp. melted butter

Gravy:

1 pound sausage (I used Jimmy Dean, they have a couple of different flavors that I think would taste great in a gravy)

2 tbs. butter

6 tbs. flour

3.5 cups milk

Salt and ground pepper to taste

In a bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Combine milk and butter and incorporate into dry ingredients until blended. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Meanwhile brown the sausage in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until there is no pink left. Add the butter and stir until melted. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and gradually add the milk. Stir over medium heat until you reach desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over warm biscuits!
