Funfetti brownies

These are not only super easy to make, but they can be made with ANY cake mix!

And if the glaze is to sugary for you, you don't have to add it!

I hope you enjoy making these as much as I love eating them. :)

•  Funfetti cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup oil
• powdered sugar
• water

YOU WILL NEED A HAND OR STAND MIXER FOR THIS!

-Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees -

In a bowl, add the mix, eggs, and oil, and mix on high speed until it is well blended
Your batter WILL BE THICK.


Spray a 13x9 baking sheet and a spatula with PAM. Spread your mix on the sheet slowly, about 1 1/2 inch from the edge.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

In a cup mix about 1 cup of powered sugar with 3 table spoons with water to make a glaze.

Pour over your brownies right outta the over and you can start enjoying a warm, delicious, gooey funfetti brownie!

As you can see mine did not spread enough to touch the pan, but that didn't stop them from being delicious!

Some mixes will spread to all corners and sides so be sure to leave 1 1/2 inches free.

ENJOY!

Chilaquiles



Chilquiles are one of my favorite foods to make because very few ingredients are needed, and they don't take too much time. Plus, they are very filling and you can top then with many things.

• 12 corn tortillas
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 medium sized tomatoes
• 2 jalapenos
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
• about 3 cups water

• All you have to do is tear your tortillas in any size pieces you want and let them get toasted. You really want them to be crispy because once you add your sauce they will soften up.

•  For the sauce
• cut up your tomatoes and jalapenos.
• add that, the water, and the bouillon in a blender and liquefy

•  Add the sauce to the tortillas, and cover your skillet for about ten minutes on med high heat.

And youre done

Keep in mind, that not all the water will evaporate.



 

Roasted Parmesan Asparagus

Roasted asparagus; a quick and easy side that is simple, yet tasty.

 

• asparagus
• olive oil, about 3 tablespoons
• salt, 1 tablespoon
• grated parmesan cheese, as desired

 

• Preheat oven to 400degrees
• In a baking pan, lined with aluminum foil, arrange your asparagus in a single layer
• Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle on the salt
• Sprinkle as much parmesan cheese as desired
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender

 

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Yield- 4 whole peppers, 8 halves

• 4 Green Bell Peppers
• 2 packets of Spanish Rice (You can do it from scratch, but this is to save time)
• Mozzarella, Cheddar Jack Cheese (Or any cheese/cheeses you like)

You can also add some meat, but since I don't eat any I choose not to add any.

1. Pre-heat over to 350

2.Wash your peppers. If you are going to leave them whole; cut of the top and gut the inside. If you are going to half them; just cut down the middle. If you cut off the top, the rice and cheese will most likely fall off.

3. Like a baking sheet with foil (Shiny side down) and place your peppers on it. Bake them for about 30 minutes ( depends on the size) or until the skins start to wrinkle.

4. While your peppers are baking, make your rice according to the instructions and slice, or grate, your cheese.

5. When your peppers are done, take them out of the oven and stuff them with the rice. Top of with as much cheese as you like. 

6. Place in oven once again just long enough for the cheese to melt and brown at the edges.

ENJOY!

Potato Stuffed Pasta Shells

THIS WILL MAKE ABOUT 12 SHELLS

• 12 cooked to al dente giant pasta shells (if you cant find these, you can use Manicotti) 
• 4 large boiled potatoes, no skin and mashed with a bit of salt and pepper only
• About 2 cups of cheese ( You can use any kind of cheese you like, and as many as you like. I used about 3/4 of a cup of each Mozzarella, Ricotta and Colby jack.)
• 3 cups Chopped raw spinach 
• 1 small tomato, sliced very thin

• Combine the spinach and the potato along with your cheese(s)
• On a foil lined baking sheet, align your pasta shells so the opening in at the top, and gently stuff the potato mixture in them
• Top with some cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven until your cheese melts.

The great thing about these is that you can stuff them with anything and everything that you like. With some ground beef ,sauce, and cheese, these can easily be turned into lasagna boats. Or if this recipe is to plain for your taste, you can add more vegetables and whatnot into the mix. The versatility of these is endless!
