The best things I ever put in my mouth! Well, as far as tamales go! I am NOT going to attempt to re-create it though. Tooo much work! Antoinette got them from her husband's job! Holy Moly are they good!
Sorry, I haven't posted in a while! I haven't been in the cooking experimenting mood!

Apple Slice Cookies!
Fun for the beginning of school. I'm making these for the teachers...toooo cute!!INGREDIENTS
1 little jar of red decorator sugar
1 roll Pillsbury Create 'n Bake refrigerated sugar cookies 2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Black string licorice, cut into 1-inch pieces
Heat oven to 350°F. Cut 17x12-inch piece of plastic wrap; place on work surface. Sprinkle red sugar evenly over plastic wrap. Roll cookie dough in sugar to coat. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze 30 minutes.
Remove half of dough from wrapper; freeze remaining dough until needed. Cut dough into 1/4-inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 2 inches apart. Place 3 chocolate chips in center of each slice to resemble seeds. To form slice shape, make 2 indentations on 2 opposite sides with fingers. Repeat with remaining half of dough.
Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until unsugared edges are light golden brown. Insert 1 licorice piece on top of each cookie to resemble stem. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Baked Cavatelli!
I have been on a pasta kick lately. I dunno, don't ask...
This is like a grown-up version of my favorite PASTA BAKE that we make at school.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. mild Italian sausage
1 lb. dry Cavatelli
2 tablespoon onion powder or minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp black pepper
1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion powder/minced and garlic until sausage is brown. Drain and remove from the skillet.
3. In a large bowl, mix the spaghetti sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and pepper. Add the cooked sausage and pasta to the mixture. Mix gently.
4. Spoon mixture into a casserole dish. Bake, covered in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes or until nearly heated through. Then, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the top of the entire casserole dish. Bake about 5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted.
