This 7UP cake is my favorite recipe. My grandmother and mother used to make this when I was a child. It is absolutely wonderful! You can substitute 7UP for milk in the glaze.

Apricot/Cranberry Chutney
A terrific recipe that my mother-in-law gave me. We have enjoyed it as an alternative to the traditional cranberry sauce! She doesn't mind sharing it!
Leftover Ham and Shrimp Slow Cooker Gumbo
This ham and shrimp slow cooker gumbo is perfect for using up that leftover holiday ham that just won't quit! This recipe is also great if you want to freeze it and save for later if you're "hammed out." Two of my three young sons loved it, and the third asked for no beans and shrimp, which was easy to filter out of his bowl. My husband devoured it and wished it had more shrimp. Overall, this was a success, considering it was just a week after daily doses of Easter ham. Serve it by itself or over white rice.
Coconut Ice Cream
This creamy coconut ice cream gets its rich coconut flavor from sweetened cream of coconut. I also like to add flaked coconut to make a sweet homemade treat that any coconut lover will enjoy!
