Lemon Cookies

Some of my favorite cookies are the easiest to make.  They are so good, you just have to make some on your own!




First you mix one box of lemon flavored cake mix with a tub of kool-whip.  This will make the mixture dough like.  Add two to three drops of lemon juice for some added flavor.








Roll the dough into small balls and then roll in powdered sugar to coat them.  Place them on a greased cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart and place in the oven at 350 degrees.  Cook for 10-15 minutes until the bottoms of the cookies are starting to brown.

Eat and enjoy!

Taco Casserole

In high school I decided I wanted to try a twist on tacos (one of the foods that everyone in my family likes).  Thus, my taco casserole was born.  You can try it too.

First, cook some taco meat according to the instructions on the package.  Set this aside.  Place soft taco shells in the bottom of a cake pan, so that they cover the bottom and sides.  (You may have to tear some of the shells to get them to fit.)  Place this pan in the oven at 350 until the shells begin to brown and get crispy. 

Next, mix 1-1.5 cups of salsa with 3/4 cup of cheese, a handfull of chopped onions, green peppers, and jalepenos.  Adjust all of these measurements to how spicy you want it to be.  Sometimes I also like to add 3/4 cup of frozen corn as well.

When the taco shells are beginning to brown, spread taco meat in the bottom of the pan.

Spread the salsa mixture on top of that.

Then, sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on next. 

Lastly, spread shredded cheese on top. 

Cook the casserole at 350 until the casserole is warm and the cheese is melting on top.  Enjoy!
