Red, White and Blue cake..
I always try to make dishes that reflect the occasion. Since this is Memorial Day weekend I decided to make this cake like our flag. It was delicious and my kids loved that it was like a flag.
1 box white cake mix
1 box vanilla instant pudding
1 container of vanilla icing
1 container of blueberries
1 container of strawberries sliced in half
Make cake per box instructions. When cake is done take out and poke wholes in cake with wooden spoon. Mix pudding mix per box instructions and just when it starts to thicken pour all over cake. It will thicken in cake. Icing and decorate with blueberries and strawberries.

Marinated Pork Chops..
This is another great Memorial Day idea. I like to buy pork tenderlions and slice them myself. You really save money and get the best chops from these. I cook for 6 people daily so I usually cut the tenderloin into three chunks.
6 to 8 pork chops
3 tablespoon creole mustard
3 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teas. minced garlic
1 teas. dried thyme
1/2 teas. salt
1/2 teas. pepper
In a bowl whisk the mustard,olive oil,vinegar,worcestershire, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Place the chops in a large plastic bag and pour the mixture over and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Enjoy
Barbecue Baked Beans..
I came up with these beans while I was experimenting. My whole family loved these so they are a keeper... These are a great beans to make with your Memorial Day meals..
1/2 lb. ground beef
1 can pork-n-beans
1 can northern beans
1 can light red kidney beans
1 tablespoon mustard
1/2 cup hickory barbecue sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teas. chili powder
1/2 lb bacon
Mix all the ingredients together and place bacon on top. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.. Enjoy..

Chicken Stir Fry
This is a recipe that I got from a friend of mine years ago. This is another dish I make when my kids want Chinese. It is simple but delicious.
1 lb. chicken breast or strips
1 bag of frozen stir fry veggies ( your choice) I use broccoli, cauliflower and carrots
soy sauce to taste ( I use the low sodium)
1 8 oz box spagetthi noodles
Cook chicken until completely done. Cut into small size pieces. Cooking time will vary according to size of chicken. You can use tenders and it doenst take but about 5 to 10 minutes. I cook these on the stove in a little olive oil. In another pot boil and drain spagehtti nooodles per pack directions. In a third pot cook your veggies until tender but still firm. When everything is done in a large pot put the spagehtti noodles, chicken and veggies and add soy sauce to taste and stir all together and dig in. I usually never have any left.
