Taco Braid
by: "girlfriends on the GO"
by: "girlfriends on the GO"

A great twist on your normal taco dish. (I'll be including a picture shortly.)
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
1 pkg taco seasoning
12 Rhodes rolls, thawed (I'm sure you could use your homemade dough too)
1 15 oz can refried beans
2 C shredded cheese
Follow directions on taco seasoning packet to season ground beef. Roll out rolls together (after thawed and risen) into a rectangle about the length of a cookie sheet. Spread refried beans down the center of the dough. Top with meat mixture and then sprinkle with the shredded cheese. Use a pizza cutter (or knife) to cut strips along each side of the dough (even numbers on each side). Starting at the bottom, take each piece, cross, and twist. Crisscross dough across top of filling. Continue crisscrossing until your pizza is braided. Carefully place on a greased cookie sheet. If freezing, see directions below. Otherwise, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 25-30 mins until bread is golden brown.
Freezing Directions: Wrap braid with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze.
If you have questions about the crisscrossing, just ask! My mother-in-law had to explain it to me! And show me actually...

Freezer Choc Chip Cookies
Slice and Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
by: "More Make a Mix Cookery" by Karine Eliason
The recipe makes 4 logsthat when baked yields 3 dozen cookies.
30 min/20 min prep
2 C butter
1 1/3 C granulated sugar
1 2/3 C packed brown sugar
1 T vanilla extract
4 eggs
5 1/2 C all-purpose flour
2 t salt
2 t baking soda
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 C chopped pecans (optional)
Cut four 14" by 12 " pieces of waxed paper and set aside. Cut four 14" by 12 " pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars; beat in vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy. In a large container mix the flour, salt, and baking soda; gradually add the flour mixture into egg mixture until blended.
Stir in chocolate chips and nuts; divide mixture into 4 equal pieces, with lightly floured hands shape each into a 8-10" roll.
Wrap each in sheets of waxed paper and then in the foil. Label and date each package, place in freezer. These will keep for 6 months in the freezer.
To prepare cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees, cut frozen dough into 1" thick slices, and cut each slice in fourths. (I only did mine in half and had the cutest little cookies.) Arrange cut pieces on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Allow to cool slightly on cookie sheets then tranfer to wire racks.
