I have been looking through my recipe books trying to come up with different recipes that my daughters can practice their kitchen skills on.  This was one that I passed by many times.  It just didn’t stand out much with ingredients so I didn’t think it would be that spectacular.  Well guess what??  It was, and my daughters had a very easy time making it.  It will definitely go in our master food lists under desserts.

You will need the following:

• 1 baked 9 x 13 chocolate cake
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 pkgs instant chocolate pudding
• 3 cups milk
• cool whip
• mini chocolate chips, or other candies for garnishing

Mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until crumbly.  Sprinkle half the crumbs over the baked cake.  Mix up pudding and pour over top of cake.  Top with remaining crumbs.  Spread cool whip and top with mini chocolate chips.

Simple and easy for younger daughters to make.

These are a great spin on plain old boring tacos. A nice different flavor combination and something different to make.  We all need variety in our dinners.  Try this tonight, you won’t be disappointed.

You will need to cook the following in a small pot over medium heat:

• 1 pound ground beef, cooked
• 1 can pinto beans, drained
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• While that is heating you can make your flatbread shells.  Take a can of jumbo biscuits and roll them out individually.

Place them on a griddle or frying pan and cook until lightly browned.

To serve– place a flatbread and then top with sour cream mixed with ranch seasoning, meat mixture, shredded cheese, lettuce, and salsa.
