We are taking a step back to look at what foods bring us that oh so good feeling from home . One recipe that reminds me of family is my Grandma's Pound Cake. I wonder if part of my sweet tooth comes from her. Any time we were together there was candy and dessert everywhere you would turn. I like this one because it can be dressed up many a different way--fruit, cool whip, ice cream, honey, you name it! It's good any way you make it. And it is super easy!
Grandma's Pound Cake
1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, flour and vanilla. Pour mixture into a well-greased and floured pan (tube or Bundt). Bake at 350° for 1 ½ hours.

Man, that sounds really great and easy to make. I love pound cake. :)
Oh, we're home! Wahoo!! I plan to call you when we've got less company (Monday probably). I will add pictures to the blog soon!
Oooh, this looks good. I've been wanting to try pound cake from scratch!
One of my favorites that Violet handed down early in our marriage. The little pink piece of paper is so old and faded I can hardly read the ingredients, but it so reminds me of her. Also, try heating a slice in the microwave and spreading it with butter! My favorite "topping".
