Aunt Sheila 3 Ingredient Cake

 My Mom gave me this cake recipe. It came from Aunt Sheila. We have tried all different combinations and haven't had one we didn't like.

Mix 

1 cake mix

1 can pie filling

3 eggs (flax works too)

Pour into a 9x13 and bake at 350 25-35 minutes.

Our favorite combo:

Lemon cake mix

Raspberry pie filling

Strawberry cream cheese frosting

TOMATO JUICE SOUP

We all really like this soup.  The 2nd time I made it I added 1# cooked italian sausage and used tortellini pasta (with cheese - any kind would be good).  I did a 8 oz package - could have used more, but not necessary.  Next time I think I will add 1 can of green beans at the end.  Could also try chopped spinach.  I made and put in the instant pot before work on crock pot mode then added pasta and did pressure cooker for how ever long it needs to cook pasta (tortellini I did for 6 min - regular pasta I would do 10-11 min)  I also did bay leaves instead of dried basil - liked it better.  Makes lots would be easy to double if needed.   

4 cups tomato juice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can Italian diced tomatoes (regular works too)
1 cup carrots
1 cup celery
1/2 onion
1 T dried basil or bay leaves
1 # cooked italian sausage, cooked
----
8 oz pasta

Crock pot low 8 hours or instant pot enough time to cook pasta (haven't used instant pot enough to know if vegetables will cook in that little amount of time?)

Dessert - cobbler or cheesecake
(for Jackson's baptism we had 15 adults and 4 kids - I did two BIG cans of cream of chicken, 1 BIG can of chicken broth (bigger than 32 oz), 4 cans of chicken and 2 cream cheese - we had about 2-3 cups of mixture left.  Did 10 cups dry rice (5 cups in 2 different ones) the one rice cooker only had 1-2 servings out of it.)

Sloppy Joes - Pioneer Woman (makes lots)
hamburger buns (toasted?)
slices of cheese
bag of chips (when I did this meal with Lisa - she made pretzel salad and a broccoli salad to go with it - was perfect!)
any kind of dessert would be good 
Lisa and I took this meal (see her salads) to 3 families plus our own.  I doubled the recipe plus I added a little extra meat (did a little less than 1/2 turkey).  It was 9 adults and 12 kids.  Gave each kid 1/4 c and for each adult 1/4 plus 1/8.

We did this with the missionaries - they had had it about a week before at someone elses house, but seemed to like it.  Asked for honey & butter to put on it which was great because I hadn't thought about it.  So good!  What was so nice about this meal is I made the dessert the day before, started the chili in the morning and got everything ready for waffles except for fridge stuff.  Then I only had to put together salad, drink and make waffles. Was easy cleanup too.

Chili - Steve's recipe (Candace folder)
Cornbread - McCleve 2nd edition - made waffle style
Green salad - got a bag of romaine with veggies and bad of ice berg with veggies and mixed the two.  Added tomatoes and cucumbers.
Grated cheese & sour cream to go on top
Dessert - chocolate lush, but anything would be good
