      Oh lord, tell me about it. Ever since the children left my house is not a home. My daughter has just married a woman and I am trying my best dear lord to have patience and compassion for their choices. My son came out as gay in 2002 and shacked up with a gentleman who he now runs a restaurant with. Each Friday night he wears a wig and sings to the customers. My husband saw him do this and ripped that wig off and threw it into the street. It was awful. Anyway, two gay children and no chance of grandchildren. This recipe really was delicious. Glad you enjoyed it. My husband threatened to throw the cake over my son and his partner if he sees them dressing that way again. I tried to tell him it was just a performance and just for fun but I feel very much in the middle

      ​​@@joycheek6756what horrible advice. They are GROWN adults. She cannot "pray the gay away"
      As for your situation, teachers shouldn't be telling kids what gender they are. Teachers need to teach thier subject and respect what the child says. Not put ideas in thier head. Thats unprofessional, imo
      The frontal lube isnt fully developed until 25 years old. If they still feel like they are neutral- then they are.

      If your husband likes a pie or cake you have always made,Make it anyway! You’ll be glad you did if he goes before you! I’m so glad I made every meal special the last few months of my husbands life! Food was our love language! When he was on hospice he ask me to help chop up vegetables for Gumbo to serve his nurses! He made the rogue and most everything after I did the chopping!

      Thanks for this recipe! I can’t cook for two, I have thrown out so much food. It goes in the containers with the red lids, and sits in the fridge for a couple days and we eat it again for leftovers ( I’m so great full for my “eat everything” husband. Then put it back, most times in the same container still sitting on the counter since meal prep. When it gets shoved to the back of the fridge for several more days it will get thrown out! If it is too old the container goes also. My poor Mom would be doing flip flops in the grave to see my wastefulness. She lived through the depression with her aunt and 8 younger cousins. My Mom said she would smack hour hand if you licked the stirring spoon. Every drop was precious with 8 + children to feed. Thanks for recipe, it’s the best cake to cook in the summer cause even here in Pennsylvania cakes take a long time to cool.

    There's only me in my house, but I still make full sized things. I divide what I made, say a full size Texas Sheetcake into 4 sections, then put the full cake in it's pan in the freezer just long enough for it to get hard. Wrap each section individually in saran wrap and a plastic freezer bag. Then put the sections back in the freezer for later. That way you have made 4 "cakes" in the time it takes to make just one! Like the old saying goes, "Work smarter, not harder!"🥰

      The cake was very good just hard to get out of the pie plate, next time will grease and flour it as the spray did not work.

    Thank you, Mrs Lori -
    Yes, please, a new series on cooking for 2 people would be great ❤
    Especially with our economy causing everything to go up weekly .
    I used to just make big roasts or other yummy meals , but with prices , I've started just making what we have .
    Even our meat I break up and freeze just enough for me & my husband.
    I will take 4 pounds of hambuger and instead of splitting up into 1 pound packages , I now use 3/4 pound - so when I'm done, I end up with (5 ) 3/4 pounds of hamburger meat .
    I've started saving more money & making more meals .
    I love my grandmother who lived through the depression and my dad raised me and taught me how to garden , can meals, fish, sew etc...
    I then taught my children how to still live a beautiful life but not above their means .
    God bless you & Mr.Brown

    I have never heard of this kind of cake but it sure looks delicious. I will have to try it. I am really glad you took the time to share this. I am looking forward to seeing more recipes for two. Thank you Miss Lori.

    About 40 years ago Mom got a recipe she called "saucepan cake" from an Oregon friend that looks exactly like your Texas sheet cake. Thank you so much for the smaller recipe. I've been yearning for a piece of old fashioned oatmeal cake, and haven't made it because it's just me. I might try quartering a full recipe, and see what happens.😊

      I live in Iowa, and I have an identical recipe and we call it Buttermilk Brownies.😆 I have tweaked the recipe to kick it up a notch by using dark cocoa powder & espresso or stiff coffee in place of the water. So gooooood!

    I am a retired school teacher ... so I well know this cake! Always a treat when someone made it for Teachers Lounge. It holds many memories for me through the years ... lots of homemade vanilla ice cream... Birthdays. I have a ton of tiny cake recipes I have collected through the years! I love them all!

    So glad I saw this! I think for our family I'll double it in a 9x13. We all LOVE Texas sheet cake, but I'm from Texas & my recipe is for a whole sheet pan & that's a lot!
    lol I knew Mr Brown was fixin to bust out in a dance, how can ya not dance while eating Texas sheet cake!
    Hugs to both y'all from Texas!

    I’d appreciate more recipes for main dishes, sides, desserts for 2! We eat leftovers and enjoy those so when I make a regular menu item, we freeze some in a portion for future meal. We would like to see some other smaller quantity items.Thx. Susan

    The big debate over Texas Sheet Cake is whether or not to add cinnamon to the batter. Most of us born and bred Texans agree you need that little bit of cinnamon for a TRUE Texas Sheet cake. Either way it is one of the best cake recipes ever! Thanks for downsizing it.

  • @lonaphillips9617
    @lonaphillips9617 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The recipe I use for Texas sheet cake has sour cream. Try adding about 2 large tablespoons of sour cream to this while heating the butter, cocoa, and water. Makes it moist. Extra good

    This is a family favorite. I add 1/4 tsp. Cinnamom to the batter. I also poke more holes in the cake so the icing melts into it. Yummy stuff here in Texas.

    Miss Lori, we have been empty nesters for nearly 10 years but I still cook for an army. Actually, I am doing a little bit better, but it's really hard to change how you cook. I'd love to hear more of your down-sized recipes. Thanks so much.
