Oh my goodness!!

Cranberry Christmas Cake

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
12 oz fresh cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl. Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.

Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (I baked mine for 43 minutes.) Let cool completely before cutting into small slices.

1 lb. Lean Ground Beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
3 Large Avocados
6 Grape Tomatoes
6 Jalapeno Rings
1/2 Cup of Sour Cream
1/2 Cup of Salsa
3/4 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese - Shredded
5 Large Romaine Leaves - Shredded

***To season the meat use Cumin, Chili Powder, Onion Salt, Garlic Powder, Celery Salt, and Pepper. You can also use a taco seasoning packet.

Cook the ground beef with all of your seasonings over medium-high heat until the meat is cooked all the way - Drain excess grease from the pan
Cut the avocados in half and use a spoon to scoop out the avocado. If you slide a large spoon a long the edges, you should be able to get it out in one piece
In the empty avocado shells, add 1/6 of the shredded lettuce into the bottom of each shell
Next, add 1/6 of the ground beef into each shell
Top each one with cheese, salsa, sour cream, tomato, jalapeno and avocado.
