Ranchy Frito Corn Salad Ranchy Frito Corn Salad This is one of those recipes where you can really adjust any of the ingredients to suit your own taste! This is one of my son's favorite dishes! I never take this anywhere that I don't get asked for the recipe! 2 cans Mexicorn, drained 3 -4 green onions, sliced 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 of a packet of dry ranch dressing mix 1 cup crushed Fritos Combine all ingredients except Fritos. Chill. Add Fritos and stir just before serving. Garnished with additional sliced green onions, if you like! This also makes a great dip! Just serve it with the Fritos, instead of crushing them!

In the Mix Cookie Company Gourmet Cookies Mixes Caramel Macchiato Cookie Mix Freshly baked cookies from mix In the Mix Cookie Company Gourmet Cookie Mixes are available at Hobby Lobby and are not terribly expensive. They were very easy to make, requiring only 5 tablespoons of softened butter and 2 tablespoons of water. They are available in a variety of flavors. These had a nice little hint of mocha! I would definitely buy these again, especially as a gift. It was nice to be able to pull these out of the pantry and have a plate of cookies in just a few minutes!
