Cream Cheese Sheet Cake

If you want a really simple, really DELICIOUS sheet cake, then this is the one for you. And the batter is pretty darn tasty, too!!  I can't take the credit for this great recipe (or the picture), I found them on Pinterest, which led me to busymomblogs.com.  But I will take credit for the smiles on my husband and boys faces when they had (multiple) pieces!  :)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 6 eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 1/4 cups cake flour

Frosting:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add flour, mix well. Pour into a greased 15" x 11" cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Cool completely.

For frosting, combine sugar and milk in a saucepan; bring to boil over medium hear. Cover and cook for 3 minutes (do not stir). Remove from heat and stir in butter and chocolate chips until melted. Cool slightly. Stir, and spread over cake.

Makes 24-30 servings.

Biscuit Tostadas

• 1 can (15 ounces) chili beans, warmed through
• Salsa
• Cheddar cheese, shredded
• Lettuce
• Olives (chopped)
• Sour cream

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split each biscuit in half (or not--depending on how big you want to make the "tostada shell". Flatten each half into a 4-inch round. Place dough on parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until done and golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and top with ground beef, chili beans, and desired toppings of your choice. Kids LOVE this!!
