    I'm Kathy Lloyd. I grew up on a farm near Elmore, MN and have lived in Fairmont for over 44 years. I have always loved to cook, even when I was very young. I loved to stay with my Aunt Dorothy during my childhood. She was a great cook and used to give me freedom in the kitchen, teaching me along the way. She made recipes from our Norwegian heritage, along with pies, homemade doughnuts, yeast bread and cinnamon rolls. 

    Marrying a husband with a hearty appetite and raising 3 sons and 1 daughter gave me plenty of hungry appetites to satisfy! I worked as a nurse for 42 years and have been retired for 11 years. Even though I loved my work, I love having time to spend with my grandchildren, to experiment with new recipes and work with my flowers in the summer. Life has been very good to me, blessing me with my loving family and great friends!

    I enjoy sharing my love of cooking and recipes with the readers of the Photo Press! (I have had my share of cooking failures over the years!)

The Storm!

9/25/2018

 
Pa Lloyd was out of town all last week so Maggie and I were alone! Maggie is terrified of storms so we were in the basement when the storm hit. My neighbor Erin knocked on my back door to check on us. When I looked out my front porch windows I couldn’t see the yard. We have one large tree on our property and two large branches had broken off and covered my yard, broke a hand rail on the front steps, and bent the eve troughs along the porch roof. What a mess!  On Friday afternoon when they were done with work my daughter Mary, Scott and two grandsons, Nik and Justin came to the rescue, with a chain saw and four hours of hard work the four of them had the mess cleaned up. I was so grateful for my family’s help! I ordered Jake’s pizza and had made a dessert that day, so at least they were fed. Here is the dessert recipe I made for them. My great granddaughter Lydia cried when her serving was gone!
 
Layered Chocolate Dessert:
Crust:
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour
chopped pecans if desired.
Mix all together and press in greased 9x13 inch pan, bake 20 minutes until golden at the edges, cool.
 
First filling layer:
1- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup cool whip
Cream cream cheese, add powdered sugar and vanilla, mix well, fold in cool whip carefully spread over crust.

Second filling:
1 small pkg. chocolate instant pudding mix
1 small pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups whole or 2 % milk
Whisk together until thick pour over and spread evenly on cream cheese layer, chill until firm, then top with 8 oz. cool whip. Chill until serving.  You can use any flavor of pudding mix you like, chocolate is our favorite!

Have a great week!
