Rebecca's double chocolate cake recipe
ingredients:
1 2/3 cups flour
1 cup of either brown sugar or granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with fork in ungreased square pan 8x8x2 for a thicker cake, or 9x13 for a thinner cake.
Mix in remaining ingredients, except for chocolate chips.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over batter and bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean--30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of your pan. Sprinkle top with powdered sugar if desired.
We opt for the 9x13 pan as it makes more servings, which are thinner, thus less calories!
Rebekah's Taco Soup Recipe
Quick and easy to make. Just adjust the quantity for your family size, and tweak the ingredients for how your family likes it--mild or spicy, or different beans....
2 lbs lean ground beef or turkey OR diced chicken
3 cans ranch style canned beans
3 cans rotel
3 cans corn
Cook meat (I drain if beef, but some people don't drain it). Add in all other ingredients.
Add tortilla chips and top with cheese. (Some people do while on the stove, but I like my chips crunchy so I add mine right before I serve it)
