Quick Fix


After dinner one Sunday, Brian asked what was for dessert.

No clue!!! So I went looking through my cupboards.


I took two hostess cupcakes and kind of cut them up with

a fork and then stacked lots of cool whip on them.


He loved them, now we have that as a regular a lot on Sundays.

Potato topped hotdogs

Okay when I was first served these at dinner at my mother-in-law's I thought she was crazy. I was very hesitant to try them. Little did I know that my husband loved them. My kids also think they are pretty good. They are so easy to make and take no time at all.


Ingredients:
Hot dogs
Mashed potatoes, I use potato pearls
Cheese

Cook hotdogs, slice down the middle. Top with potatoes. Cover with a slice of cheese. Microwave until cheese is melted. Serve. We dip in ketchup.

Sloppy Joe's

This is my sis-in-law's recipe. We love it.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 med. onion, diced
1/3 of a green pepper, chopped

Brown hamburger with onion and pepper, drain grease.

Add in:
1 cup V-8 juice
3-4 shakes of chili powder
1 bay leaf
1/4 c. ketchup
salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer 45 minutes. Take out bay leaf before serving. Can add flour to thicken. Serve on hamburger buns. Freezes really well.
