Holly Cookies

 Because I can never get the wreaths formed quickly enough I do it this way.




Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 30 large (regular, not jumbo) marshmallows (4 c. mini)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons green food coloring
  • 3½ cups corn flakes
  • red cinnamon candies

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the vanilla and food coloring. Stir in the corn flakes. 
  2. Grease a spoon and drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a greased cookie sheet, or vegetable oil sprayed wax paper. Place 3 red cinnamon candies on each bunch of "holly," pressing slightly so they stick.
  3. Let sit until they have cooled and set.

Fresh Salad

 


  • This is a wonderful salad that I have made and only gotten two meals out of it. It's that good.

  • 1 broccoli chopped into florets
  • 1 cauliflower chopped into florets
    1 red onion thinly sliced opt.
    2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
    1/2 cup shredded cheese opt.

DRESSING


  • 1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1 Tbsp cider vinegar
    1 Tbsp sugar
    1/2 tsp black pepper


  • Place prepared veggies into a large mixing bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, pepper and sugar.
  • Pour over veggies and toss together.
  • Chill in the fridge one hour before serving.

  • *** I don't ever have mayo because I don't like it at all. And I seldom have sour cream. I just used miracle whip. It turned out great.

Apple pie dump cake



 ****1 spice cake mix white or yellow cake mix works well too

1 1/2 sticks butter 

2  20 ounce cans apple pie filling


Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Prepare 9 x 13 cake pan coating with oil or cooking spray.


Dump apple pie filling into prepared dish and spread evenly. I like to cut up the apple slices if they are too big. I like bite size better than a big chunk of apple.


Evenly sprinkle cake mix over pie filling.


Melt butter and pour evenly over cake mix.  Once you pour the butter, carefully tilt the cake can to evenly distribute the butter all over the cake mix.


Bake for 40 t0 45 minutes, depending on your oven, on center rack.

Serve warm. Store in fridge covered.


****I like the yellow or white cake mix better, less spice.
