Erin's Raspberry Topped Lemon Pie

What would my family do without one of my best friends and one of the best cooks I know...Erin!!!  If you love raspberries and you love lemon....then watch out!

1 (9in) graham cracker pie crust
1 (10 oz) pkg frozen red raspberries in syrup, thawed
1 T cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c lemon juice from concentrate
2 drops yellow food coloring
whipped cream (you can use a whipped topping, but it's not nearly as good!)

Preheat oven to 350.  In saucepan, combine raspberries and cornstarch; cook and stir until thickened.  In bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and food coloring.  Pour into crust, bake 8 minutes.  Spoon raspberry mixture over top.  Chill 4 hours.  Spread with whipped cream and serve.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Better Than Anything Cake (Well...almost anything!)

I made this for the girl's basketball team for Nicki's birthday and it was a HUGE hit!  I made two of them and they were gone in literally seconds!

1 pkg Betty Crocker SuperMoist German Chocolate Cake Mix
Water, oil, and eggs as called for on mix directions
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 16oz jar caramel topping
1 8oz cool whip, thawed
1 bag toffee chips or skor candy bars chopped up

Heat oven to 350.  Make and bake cake as directed on box, for 9x13 pan.  Cool for 15 minutes.  Poke top of cake all over with handle of wooden spoon or straw.  Drizzle with milk evenly; let stand until milk is absorbed.  Drizzle with caramel (I only use half the jar because it's too sweet).  Run knife along sides of pan to loosen cake.  Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.  Spread cool whip over top then sprinkle with toffee.  Store in fridge till ready to eat.  (I also drizzle a little more caramel on some hot fudge over the top!)

DeVonya's Chocolate Chip Cake

Ingredients:

1 box devil's food cake mix
1 large pkg instant chocolate pudding
1 c sour cream
1 c vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c warm water
1 pkg semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, and water.  Stir in chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.  Bake 50 to 55 minutes.  Cool cake thoroughly in pan, invert and remove from pan.
