Cauliflower Salad

So you have to like cauliflower for this salad obviously, but it is a great salad which we usually make during the summer for potlucks that we have at the campground up at Silver Lake.

Cauliflower Salad

Break cauliflower into rosettes, mix peas (don't cook), and cheese, mix in the dressing and mix it all together. Let set in refridgerator for 1 hour.

Stuffed Mushrooms

If you like mushrooms, these are amazing. Since my husband does not like mushrooms I only get to have these when my mom makes them for dinner. Which is always a nice treat to spend time with my family eatting dinner together talking and laughing. My dad and I are always in a fight to the finish to get the last mushroom.

Stuffed Mushrooms

2lbs fresh mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed (save the stems)
1 1/2 lb lean bulk pork sausage
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Garlic Salt (to taste)

Chop up the mushroom stems and mix with the pork sausage. Saute the mixture until the sausage is cooked. Drain, add cheese to sausage and cook slowly until cheese is melted. Season to taste with garlic salt.

Stuff mushroom caps with the mixture and place in 2 greased baking pans 9x13 inch each. Bake uncovered, for about 30 minutes at 350.

This recipe speaks for it's self. If you are busy and in need of something that does not require to much preparation then this is your recipe.

3 medium potatoes (Sliced, and peeled) I use a mandolin slicer and it makes this process go much quicker.

Spread raw hambuger and onion in the bottom of a casserole dish. I usally put a can of Cream of Chicken Soup on top of this too, it helps to add more flavor. Layer with green beans, and potatoes over the raw meat. Cover with Cream of Chicken Soup. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Potato Chip Cookies

Okay so first things first. Don't let the name of these cookies discourage you. I do not bake often because for one thing I am horrible at it and I wreck almost every kind of cookie that I make. This cookie though I have never wrecked and I never get sick of them. I will tell you though that most people when they hear of these cookies they say that they are not going to try them, but once they do they fall in love with them. My husband for many years would not touch them, but finally he did and could not deny that they were awesome.

Potato Chip Cookies

1 Cup Crisco
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 Cups of Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
2 Cups Plain Potato Chips (Crushed)
1 tsp Vanilla

Mix everything together. Roll in small balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes.
