Taco Salad night with POKE cake!!

Taco Salad

 

We went easy tonight, and had taco salads. One of my favorite parts of this dinner, is everyone gets to make their own!

 

Ingredients:

 

2lbs Hamburger (we do 2 lbs just because we like leftovers)

 

Taco Seasoning (2-1 for each pound of meat)

 

Lettuce (shredded)

 

Tomatoes (chopped in fine pieces)

 

Cheese (grated)

 

Sour Cream

 

Nacho Cheese Doritos

 



 

 

 

Brown your meat. Drain the fat. follow the instructions on the seasoning packet. Once you have your meat ready, you are ready for dinner. Drake (4) only eats the Doritos! Sean (6) likes Meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. McKayla (8) Likes everything but sour cream.

 

This is my plate... Doritos on the bottom, then lettuce, seasoned meat, tomatoes, cheese, and topped with sour cream.

 



 

 

Now on to Dessert. My hubby and I love this cake. I thought we were going to have to fight the kids to get some, but none of them liked it... My kids are CRAZY. This is by far, my favorite treat. Like and sweet.

 

Poke Cake

 

 

Ingredients:

 

White Cake Mix

 

Tooth picks/ Fork

 

Jello (we used strawberry)

 

Cool whip

 

 

First things first. Bake the cake according to the directions, and let cool. Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the cake. Newt mix the jello. I used 1 cup boiling hot water, mix until dissolved, then add in 1/2 cup of cold water. Once mixed, dump all over the cake.

 



 

I used the spatula around the edges to loosen the cake. Next cool the cake for 30 min or so in the freezer. Last step is to use the cool whip like frosting. Now eat and enjoy!!
