Taco Bake(serves 4-6) By: Lindsey

1 box Deluxe Mac and Cheese
1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup thick and chunky salsa

Preheat oven to 400. Prepare mac and cheese as directed on package. While mac and cheese is cooking, brown meat, drain. Add taco seasoning and water to meat; simmer 5 min. Stir sour cream into mac and cheese. Spoon half of mac and cheese mixture into 8 inch square or 9 inch round backing dish; top with layer of meat mixture, 1 cup of cheese and remaining mac and cheese mixture. Cover. Bake 15 minutes in oven. Then top with salsa and remaining shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for 5 additional minutes or until cheese is melted. Can also top with tortilla chips along with salsa and cheese.

I just made this last night. I actually continued doing layers until all my mixtures were gone. It definitely does not have to be perfect. I would also recommend serving it with rice and/or beans. ENJOY!

Bulldog Brittle

Apparently this recipe has been around for a long time but until this past Christmas I have never eaten it----loved, loved, loved it!! As always my favorite recipe's are those that are delicious and easy, so here's another one. Donna Bulldog Brittle 8 whole graham crackers 1 cup of chopped pecans 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1/2 cup sugar This is so good and so inexpensive to make that you will probably want to double the recipe. Break crackers into fourths. Place on foiled lined cookie sheet pan, leaving space between crackers. Sprinkle chopped pecans over top of crackers. Melt margarine and butter in boiler. Add sugar, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 2 minutes, pour over pecans and crackers. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT BROWN. Let cool and break into pieces.

Yummy Corn Casserole By: Lindsey

Hey ladies! Well, just wanted to let you in on a GREAT recipe that my mother-in-law shared with me. EVERYTIME I make it people go on and on about how much they love it. The other day, at a neighborhood block party(where I knew no one) someone called me the corn girl and asked everyone to give me a round of applause for the corn casserole that I made(and they did). Ha! So, definitely try this one. You will LOVE it! 1 8oz. cream cheese 1 can creamed corn 1 can whole kernel corn(drained) 1 box of jiffy corn bread mix 1 stick of butter Mix all the ingredients together(I would highly recommend using a mixer...not by hand). Spray a small pyrex dish(unless you double the recipe, then use a 9x13). Pour the mixture into the dish. Bake on 400 for 45 min-1 hour. Take out when it is a little brown.

Angel Hair Pasta

Angel Hair Pasta-one box Pine Nuts-one jar 3 or 4 cloves of Garlic 2 Shallots Fresh Basil Parsley 3 Tomatoes Feta-one package Parmesan Cheese-one cup or more if you like it cheesy   Boil pasta just for a couple minutes and set aside in a colander.  Put water back in your pot and start it boiling. Place pine nuts on a cookie sheet and place under broiler for roasting then set aside ( they burn fast so be careful). Mince garlic and chop shallots, basil, parsley, and tomatoes. Put about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a skillet and heat on medium. Add the shallots and garlic, saute for a minute then add the parsley and basil.  Put the pasta back in the boiling water and add tomatoes to the skillet (tomatoes do not need to be in for very long).  Drain the pasta again and put in large bowl.  Immediately before serving put the herb and olive oil mixture on top of pasta and toss.  Add the pine nuts and the cheeses, toss again and serve.
