Cake In A Minute

1 box of Angel Box Cake Mix

2 Boxes Chocolate Cake Mix

Mix together the cake mixes in a large bowl and store in a gallon ziploc bag.

To make the cake: 

Take 1/3 cup cake mix with 3 tbs water.  Mix together in microwave safe dish.

Microwave for 1 minute. Let this rest for 15 minutes and serve.

Can top with ice cream, whipped cream or anything!

Can substitute different cake mixes also. 

Always use angel food mix,

 but can do lemon, red velvet, spice, strawberry instead of chocolate. 

 Be creative!

Homemade Clay

1 c. cornstarch

2 c. baking soda

1 1/4 c. cold water

1 tbs. oil

1 tbs. food color

Put all ingredients in a pan and stir together

over medium heat. When it comes to boil it will thicken 

and be like dry mashed potatoes. 

Once it all comes together, remove from heat

and place on a plate. 

Cover with a damp cloth until it is cooled. 

Then knead with a little cornstarch and start creating!

Creamy Rice Pudding

1 1/2c. cooked rice

11/2c. half and half

1/3c. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

Mix in a sauce pan until creamy and thick.

Then add:

1 egg beaten with a little bit of the hot mixture.

(this is so the egg can be tempered to the heat)

Stir the egg into the pudding and cook for 2 more minutes.

Remove from heat and add:

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tbs. butter

Stir and serve warm or chilled.

To make chocolate rice pudding 

just add 1 c. good chocolate chips 

when you add the butter and vanilla.

Best Beef Stew

2 pounds stew meat

1/8 c. flour

2 tbs oil

1 onion chopped

3-4 large carrots chopped

4 potatoes chopped

2 celery stocks chopped

2 cloves garlic 

1/8 c worchester sauce 

1 can stewed tomatoes 

1 small can tomato sauce

4 c. beef broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Put flour salt and pepper in a large ziploc and add stew meat. Shake until all covered evenly. Then brown in hot oil. After brown on all sides add your veggies and sauté until cooked a bit. Then add the remaining ingredients. Everything needs to be covered in liquid so add water if needed. Bring to a boil and then reduce and let simmer for several hours. I like to transfer it all to a crockpot and cook all day on low. You want the meat to fall apart. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

Taco Ranch Soup

1 pound ground beef

1 onion chopped

1 can pinto beans

1 can black beans

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can green chilies

(Can use 1 can rotel instead of 

tomatos and green chilies)

1 can corn with juice

1 pkg spicy ranch dressing mix

(or regular)

1 pkg taco seasoning

*I usually add some water to consistency we like.  But should be a little thick.

Brown meat and onion. Add all the cans and seasonings. Simmer until ready to serve.

Top with cheese and sour cream. 

Poppyseed Chicken

5 c. chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

1 c. sour cream

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 tbs. poppy seeds

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. minced garlic

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 c. crushed ritz crackers (about 1 1/2 rolls of crackers)

1/2 c. melted butter

Stir together the condensed soup, sour cream and seasonings. Add in the cooked chicken.
Put into a greased 9x13 in pan.

In a separate bowl, stir together the crushed crackers, poppy seeds and melted butter. Sprinkle over the chicken and sauce.

Bake for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven. Make sure the top of the casserole is browned and the sauce is bubbly. Serve plain or over rice. We like to eat it with broccoli also.
