I love cooking, looking for new recipes, and trying them. Being here in Africa I have learned to go back to the basics as the baking items are not easily found. No Crisco, Karo syrup, Bisquick, Mexican foods, or cake mixes to name a few. I found these today and thought that they looked pretty yummy. The only problem is that I will have to wait til I get home to try the Almond Joy Cake, as I have not been able to find chocolate chips here.
...Almond Joy Cake...
It is rich, but really yummy. I would suggest a little whipped cream (fresh if you've got it!) or ice cream with it...
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 C. evaporated milk
1 C. sugar
24 large marshmallows
1- 14 oz bag sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 C. evaporated milk
1/4 C. butter
1- 12 oz bag milk chocolate chips
1 C. toasted almonds
Bake cake mix according to box directions & poke wholes with the end of a wooden spoon. In a large saucepan, combine 1 Cup evaporated milk & sugar. Bring to a boil and stir in marshmallows until melted. Add coconut & pour mixture over cake while both are hot.
Melt together remaining milk, butter & chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Add almonds. Spread on top of cake.
It's heating up in Arizona --It's winter in South Africa--I thought this would be agreat summer dinner!
Katie's Tortellini Salad
4-6 chicken breasts (cubed & soaked in Zesty Italian Dressing)
48 oz. Cheese Tortellini
1 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, chopped
1 cup Sliced Olives
1 cup Artichoke Hearts, chopped
2 cups Baby Spinach
Mix all together in a large bowl & toss with your favorite Caesar Dressing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
If any of you try these recipes tell me what you think!

help!!
tj hurt his back running today-
he hurt his back over a year ago and every once in awhile he re-injures it in the same place- all he was doing was running today and upon returning home his back hurt and then hurt more as the day progressed.
the origional injury happened on a trampoline.
He is worried and doesn't know what to do, as he is scheduled to participate in his first triathon on this Saturday.
