Sunday Dinner...

I had some of this...
and some of this...
So I made this...
Sweet Slaw and Brown Sugar Beans.

Sweet Slaw
Shredded cabbage
Shredded carrots
Hellman's
Sugar
Mix Hellman's and sugar to your liking adding a scosch of milk to thin just a tad.
Mix shredded cabbage and carrots together, add dressing, mix well.  Chill and let rest to mix flavors.

Brown Sugar Beans
Dice bacon and onions.
Brown bacon, drain, add onions till transparent.  
Drain nearly all gravy from beans (save about 2T)
Pour beans into skillet with bacon and onions
Add brown sugar to your taste and a bit of maple syrup.
Cook on low till heated through.

Dinner wouldn't be complete without some fried chicken so I put this together...
and voila!!
The finished product...
This is a no brainer so no recipe will follow.
However what would Sunday dinner be without a sweet piece of cake...
So, I took these ingredients and mixed them together and...
while this was baking...
I gathered these ingredients...
to make the drizzle for the top of the cake...
Can you say Dreamylicious Orange cake with cream cheese drizzle?
M-M-M-M, a Sundaylicious Dinner.

Dreamylicious Orange Cake
1 pkg Orange Supreme cake mix (Duncan Hines is what I used)
1 pkg (3.4oz) vanilla pudding and pie filling
4 lg eggs
1 c sour cream
1/3 oil

Beat eggs.oil and sour cream
Add cake mix and dry pudding, mix well.
Pour into a 'Pammed' bundt pan
Bake at 350 about 40-45 min. or till a pick comes out clean
Let set 10 mins. Shake pan gently to loosen turn upside down on plate.

Drizzle:
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, room temp
icing sugar
a bit of milk
Beat cream cheese till smooth, add icing sugar and a bit of milk to make a drizzle to the consistency you like.
Pour over cake while still a bit warm.  If you like a thinner drizzle cake can be completely cool.

VARIATION:
You can also make streusel and fill the middle of this cake if you like.
Strusel:
Save a couple of tablespoons of the dry cake mix
a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar
about a teaspoon of cinnamon
about a tablespoon of butter
about a 1/2 c. chopped nuts
Mix altogether till crumbly.

After mixing up cake batter pour 1/2 into a bundt pan pour strusel on top and add rest of batter.  Bake following directions above.  Add drizzle.

ENJOY!
