Cookie Frosting

I used this frosting for the first time in 2024. Previously I mostly winged frosting, and this really wasn’t much different than what I usually did. One difference was the almond extract – which I liked, but certain family members complained about.

Mexican Chicken Casserole

This Mexican-inspired casserole uses chicken (shredded or cut), black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, corn, and cream of chicken soup. The casserole is topped with crushed tortilla chips and cheese.

Apricot Gelatin Salad

This recipe is very similar to Bethany’s salad, but doesn’t have the shredded carrots and has mandarin oranges instead. This has apricot Jell-O, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, cream cheese, and “Dream Whip”. Is Dream Whip still something you can buy? I have never used it.

Spinach and Spaghetti

This recipe calls for jack cheese, eggs, spinach, spaghetti, onion, sour cream, and parmesan.

Shepherd’s Pie

This is not a family traditional recipe, but it IS one of my personal favorites. We use Dylan’s mashed potatoes for the topping, but do add the parmesan cheese for that.
