Nasal Saline Drops

I use this recipe to fill up our saline nose drop bottle.  Just a few drops in an infant's nose or some in your own and the mucus will come out easier in a stuffy nose.  It also shrinks the membranes in the nose.   1/4 tsp salt 4 oz water Mix the above together.  I usually heat the water so the salt dissolves better.  Then let it cool before putting it in the container.  I also half the recipe since my nose drop bottle can't hold 4 oz. 

Monika's Delight (AKA Barnacles) or Mousse Cups

My mom made these for an extended family party.  When someone asked what they were called, she said, "Monika's Delight."  Somehow, one of my siblings (perhaps Jason) said, "What?  Barnacles?"  Ever since, it has stuck.  Preheat oven 325. Ingredients Any kind of cake mix 1/2 C margarine or butter, melted 1 egg Mix the above ingredients together.  Fill cupcake tin 1/2 full (a rounded tablespoon full) or 1/2 full mini cupcake tin (1/2 tablespoon).  Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes.   As soon as removed, push dent into cakes with back of tablespoon (or 1/2 tablespoon for mini muffin) for fill.   While the cooking, combine the following: 1 small pk instant pudding 1C milk Fold in 8oz cool whip.  Put into cupcake indentation. Cool - Serve - Refrigerate.  Easy to serve and carry to location.  Also delicious.
