*Dog Poop Recipe - I wish I remembered the real name for this, but it was my kids' favorite when they were young, and "Dog Poop" is the name they gave it! Brown 1 lb. sausage and 1 lb. ground beef, drain. Add 1 lb. Velveeta Cheese and mix until cheese is melted. Put in a crock pot and keep it on "warm". To serve, simply spoon a tablespoon full of meat mixture onto small pumpernickel or rye bread party rounds.
*Christmas Jello Cake - Basic recipe is here. I use a two layer white cake mix and cook according to package directions. Cool cake completely and poke with a fork all over top of each layer. Then I mix 1 packet of red (strawberry) sugar free jello with 1/4 cup hot water, and separately mix 1 package of green (lime) sugar free jello with 1/4 cup hot water, and pour one color jello over one layer, the second color jello over the second layer. I "frost" the cake with Cool Whip, including some between the two layers. You can decorate the top with sprinkles or other Christmas cake embellishments. When you cut into the cake it's beautiful! One layer is marbled with red, and one layer is marbled with green. Keep refrigerated.
