I don't have any recipes but I would love to have some of her recipes!
Megann's family, we still pray for you as you grieve this incredible loss. We miss Megann. Since she cannot be replaced, we are not replacing her at Bunco. It is still Megann's group.
Megann prepared this dessert for us at Bunco in April. She sent me the recipe on April 17. It is for "Heavenly Banana Delight" and she has her own comments at the end of the recipe.
Heavenly Banana Delight
One 31/2 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
One 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
One 12 ounce box vanilla wafers
3or 4 bananans sliced
3 Tbs. chocolate syrup
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix, condensed milk and milk, and beat for 2 minutes or until well blended. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream. Add the whipped cream and sour cream to the pudding mixture. Place half the vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 13x9x2 inch dish. Top with half the sliced bananas, half the pudding mixture, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Repeat each layer and decorate the top with the remaining chocolate syrup.
*I put this in my trifle bowl. I used the large box of instant pudding because I like more pudding and I just added 1 ½ c. of milk instead of 1 cup and I did about 2 cups of whipping cream and reserved some for the top. With the whipping cream that I reserved for the top I added powdered sugar to sweeten it. I left out the chocolate syrup but if I would have had pecans in my freezer I would have topped it with chopped pecans, that would have been prettier. Also, strawberries. I almost left the bananas out completely to just do strawberries, but I went ahead and did some bananas too. So you can pretty much so what you want to it. Enjoy.
This a recipe Megann shared with me. She came to the house with all the ingredients and, needless to say, we made it. It was wonderful.
Megann’s Dip
Creamy, Dreamy, Spinach, Onion, and Bacon Dip
May be made up to 2 days ahead of time, covered, and refrigerated. Let stand 20 minutes before baking as directed.
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 10 oz pkg frozen chopped onions, thawed and squeezed dry
3 (8 ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (5 ounce) package shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
Preheat over to 350*
Combine all ingredients except corn chips in a medium bowl. Spoon mixture into a 2-quart baking dish. Bake 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with corn chips.
Megann's comments: Did not list corn chips in ingredients, but you know what I mean. You can buy any size you want. This is good while the guys watch football. Can chop your own onions, but this is easier.
I'd love a copy of that recipe book when it's available for sale...if that's the plan.
Megann prepared this for us when she and Jon were newlyweds in Henderson, TN. It was one of the most delicious meals I have ever eaten in someone's home! I hadn't been married very long myself, and I was so impressed that Megann already knew how to cook so well! She was such a warm, welcoming, and talented hostess! It has been one of my favorite dishes ever since that night. I always think of precious Megann, and our wonderful visits when I make this!
BBQ Beef
Slow cook a 2 pound beef roast in the crock pot. Drain juices. Shred beef.
Combine...
1 7 oz bottle ketchup
6 oz Coke
1 1/2 TBS liquid smoke
2 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS applesauce
2 TBS worcestershire sauce
1 TBS mustard
Pour sauce over shredded beef in the crock pot and cook 3-4 hours longer.
Seeing Sarah's comment about Megann "already" knowing how to cook made me smile. That girl was cooking meals for her family (and others) when I was still subsisting on pb&j. Looking back, I realize that Megann had some qualities of a mature 30 year old at about age 16 (at least the housekeeping ones :). I don't have any recipes, just memories of being slightly awed by her maturity.
I agree with Kate - and not just where cooking was concerned. In my memory, Megan spent most of her life preparing for her goal - to be a Christian wife. It's apparent, by all comments, that she achieved her goal -resoundingly- even with fewer years than most are given.
You are so right.
Plus, I would not send all of her "recipes". Like the one she made for her dad and I when she was around 10 years old to surprise us with a "Breakfast in Bed". You know she could not stand the smell of eggs in any way, shape, form or fashion. So, how about toast, jelly, bacon, and vanilla-flavored scrambled eggs? That way, she could not smell the eggs. What do parents tell their sweet little daughter as she watches you eat? Hmmm...they are delicious. The memory is sweeter than I could ever dream.
