Cake Mix Cookies

 One of my roommates in college shared this recipe and I LOVE IT!! It's super easy and they taste wonderful! It's a great recipe to use with kids and you can make any color or shape you want! All you need is:

1 Cake Mix (If you are coloring, get a white or yellow cake mix. If not, get whatever you want!)

1/2 cup oil

2 eggs

Food Coloring (Optional)

Sprinkles (Optional)

Mix eggs, oil, and cake mix in a bowl. Once all mixed together, add food coloring. We used orange today to make pumpkins for Halloween ... but you can use whatever color you want!

 You can either drop spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet or spread the batter out on the cookie sheet and make one BIG cookie. If you want sprinkles add them before you bake.

 Bake @ 350* for 12-18 minutes. Take out of the oven and use whatever cookie cutter shape you want. Cool on cooling rack.

Enjoy!!

Tortellini Soup

So glad that soup weather is here ... even though this soup is great any time of year! It's super easy and tastes GREAT!

48 oz. Chicken Broth

2 small cans diced tomatoes (or 1 large can)

2 tbps. minced garlic

1 package tortellini (you can use frozen, refrigerated, or packaged ... whatever you like!)

Fresh spinach (optional)

Mozzarella cheese

Bring broth, tomatoes and garlic to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to the package. Once the pasta is done cooking, remove from heat and add 3 or 4 handfuls of spinach (or however much you would like). Serve with mozzarella cheese on top!
