Salad Dressing 8 oz. softened cream cheese 1/4 cup of sugar 1 can of drained mango, (save some of the juice. If your dressing is too thick, use some of this for thinning it) 1 tsp. lemon juice 1/4 tsp. of ginger Put all this in blender and blend until smooth. Store in refrigerator. For salad, use Romaine lettuce and fresh fruit. Big Mac Salad Salad: Torn or shredded lettuce of choice Chopped tomatoes Shredded Cheese Ground beef, fried, seasoned, and drained Sauce: 1/2 cup mayo 2 Tbsp. ketchup 2 Tbsp. mustard 2 Tbsp. dill pickle relish Stir sauce to combine, allow to set a bit for flavors to meld. Everyone preps their own salad, layering in a
bowl, add sauce to taste. You will never miss the bun!! Broccoli Pasta Salad Dressing: 1 cup Miracle Whip 2/3 cup milk 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar 4 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt Salad: 1-1/2 cup uncooked Radiatore pasta (5 oz.) 1 lb. bacon 2 cup fresh broccoli florets 1 cup fresh cauliflower florets 1/4 cup chopped red onion 1/4 cup golden raisins or craisins 3 Tbsp. sunflower nuts In bowl mix dressing, refrigerate.

well. Crush the crackers. I always crush the crackers while still in their sleeve. Pour crushed crackers into beef. Mix the crackers into the beef mixture well. Form into a loaf shape and set to the side. Take the bacon and divide it into even amount. Take half of the bacon and lay side by side long ways. Fold every other bacon strip in half. Lay one of the other half of the reserved bacon strips across. Unfold the half folded bacon strip. Fold the other every other bacon strips that were not folded in the previous step. Lay a slice of bacon across and then unfold. Repeat until you run out of room. Start on the other half of the bacon strip until you have made a weave. Place the loaf shaped beef mixture into the center on your bacon weave. Wrap the weave around the beef loaf shaped mixture. Flip the bacon wrapped meatloaf upside down, making the ends of
the bacon tuck under the loaf. Place the loaf in the center of the oven on a cookie sheet. (Uncovered and no tinfoil.) It takes about an hour to cook. To make sure it is cooked all the way through, I sometimes use a meat thermometer, (165 degrees) but that isn’t really needed. Sometimes I leave it in for 15 more minutes, if I am worried it isn’t cooked all the way. Fiesta “Hot” dish 2 pounds ground beef 1/2 cup onions, chopped 1 can (16 oz.) refried beans 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies 1 envelope taco seasoning 2 Tbsp hot salsa 12 oz. uncooked lasagna noodles 4 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, divided 1 jar (16 oz. ) mild salsa 2 cups water 2 cups (16 oz.) sour cream, optional 1 can (2-1/4 oz.) sliced ripe olives, drained
