Chocolate Mayo Cake

 My moms friend made her a cake for her birthday and while I was shocked it actually tasted pretty good and was really moist. It was good enough that I asked for the recipe

Ingredients

  •  2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/2 cup of of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup of mayo
  • 1 cup of lukewarm water
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350
  2. Grease a 9" X 3" baking pan
  3. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix well
  4. Pour batter into backing pan
  5. Bake for 30 minutes

Ham and Shell Salad

 I used the following recipe with alterations to the dressing and no cheese or onions. It turned out OK. Next time I would add a herb of some kind and more salt. I only used miracle whip and the juice from a full lemon as my dressing. The amount of miracle whip was to taste as well as to a thickness I was looking for. I also used a ham steak then rendered the fat and let it cool. I wanted bigger ham chunks than deli meat. Looking back on it, this recipe was more of inspiration/guideline than actually following the directions

Easy Meatball Recipe

 My wife recently made sweet and sour meatballs on white rice and I really enjoyed the meatballs.

This was the recipe she used and I wanted to capture it on my site: https://lilluna.com/easy-homemade-meatballs/

She did not however share her sweet and sour recipe. If I get that I will edit this post.
