Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies



My friend Pam did it again. She makes the best treats! I was suprised how easy this was to make and oh so delicious! Enjoy!

Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies:

Combine 1 chocolate cake mix with 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening and 2 eggs. Drop by tablespoon onto a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes (done but soft in the center). Remove from the oven and stick half of a cut large marshmallow sticky side down in the center of each cookie. Put back into the oven for 2 minutes. Remove again, and gently press the marshmallow down. Once cooled, frost. 
Frosting recipe:
Combine 1/2 cup melted butter with 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, 1 lb. powdered sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla. 
Enjoy!

"Taco 'Bout Awesome!" Primary Board Meeting and The Bomb Salad!


I made these cute Salsa favors for our fabulous Primary Teachers at our Tres De Mayo Fiesta Board Meeting! I found this cute invitation on Pinterest and made it my own. 
The Jars were very easy to make. I just found this cute fabric at JoAnn's. Cut in 1" strips and frayed the edges by pulling a few threads.

 Cut these cute Mustaches out on my Silhouette. I think that stickers would work too!
 Used my glue gun to get everything in place!



 I found this tag on Pinterest as well! I used full sheet sticker paper and used my circle punch and placed them on the lid. 


 We had Taco's, Chips and Salsa and this amazing salad called "The Bomb Salad" - I got it from my friend Heidi who got it from our friend Karrissa. It's a total crowd pleaser and the dressing is delicious on your tacos too!
Ole!
