Ah...the salsa dip recipe. I got the recipe from a friend and love how simple it is. I shared it with Patti once when she was looking for something to take to a gathering with Clay's family and I told her this was a win, win! 

I'm not sure how many times she actually made it though?

Banana Bread

Every time I open up those recipe boxes I am overwhelmed by emotion. I still can't believe that Patti is no longer with us down here on earth. I really wanted to organize the recipes with Patti Jo and I still find myself wanting to call her and ask for a recipe...or just ask her advice on something I am trying to create. I hate to admit that I still have Patti Jo's cell number in my phone, how do you delete something like that? Patti told me on several occasions that she really liked being the oracle of all family recipes. I would call her and ask for a recipe, write it all down with the intention of keeping it, but I would still call the next time I needed it. I can't tell you how many times I called her to ask for "The Banana Bread" recipe. The silly thing is that you can Google the crap out of banana bread recipes and they are all pretty much the same. It didn't matter, I needed that damn recipe from Mom...which it turns out was from Faye, a friend of Mom...

Dump Cake

This recipe just made me realize how hungry I am, it sounds amazing. I know I've had this in the past, but I don't have any specific memories of it.  I wonder if you are suppose to flip the whole thing upside down when it is baked and cooled a bit so it becomes an upside down pineapple cherry cake? Put your thoughts in the comments. I'm adding the ingredients to my grocery list now and will report back accordingly. From the kitchen of Patti Jo? Preheat oven to 350 degrees Grease & flour a 9 x 13 pan Pour in 1 can crushed pineapple & the juice Spread 1 can of cherry pie filling over the top of the pineapple Sprinkle 1 package of yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the first two ingredients Top everything with 1 stick oleo (or butter) sliced thin and evenly distributed over mix Sprinkle 1 cup of chopped nuts (optional) over top Bake for 1 hour  Author: Jason Doyle
