This looks interesting, and is certainly easy enough!
Note the cake mix size. They have all shrunk now, and we're not going to get the same size out of a 9x13 pan.

Citrus Bars (Mr. Food)

1 (18.25-ounce) package lemon cake mix
2 eggs, divided
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, 1 egg, and oil until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of cake mixture for topping; set aside. Press remaining cake mixture into an ungreased 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Bake 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until creamy. Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, and remaining egg, beating until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture over baked crust and sprinkle with reserved 1 cup cake mixture.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until lightly browned; let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over cake then cover and refrigerate. Once chilled, cut into bars.

French Spring Soup

!/4 C. butter
1 1b. leeks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 large carrots, cleaned and chopped
2 qts. water ( I used 1 qt. water, 1 qt. chicken broth)
3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped (I used 1 C potato flakes)
1 bunch fresh asparagus trimmed & cut in 1" pieces
1/3 C long grain rice uncooked (I omitted this)
4 tsp. salt (I used less because of the chicken broth)
1/2 lb. spinach
1 C heavy cream (I used half cream, half milk)
Saute leeks, onions and carrots in butter until tender. Add water, broth, potato flakes, asparagus. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer. Cook 30 minutes. Add spinach and heavy cream. Cook 5 minutes more.

I made this for yesterday's dinner. It was very easy, delicious and a keeper. I wasn't going to put the potatoes in at all but decided the potato starch would give it a nice consistency. I didn't have any potatoes in the house but happened to have the potato flakes for a recipe for a friend that I was trying to keep gluten free. They worked well and I accomplished exactly what I wanted too.

Jasdip, I've seen recipes for pork roast with cranberry sauce cooked (I think in a crockpot). After the roast cooks, you thicken the sauce with corn starch. I haven't made it, but it sounds good. Have you tried the Ocean Spray website? They may have recipes there. I love cranberry sauce! Haven't tried this, but anything with Ritz crackers is great in my book. TOFFEE BITES (Kitchen Trials) 1 box Ritz crackers (225g) 1 bag Werther's Original Hard Candy (180g) 1 can sweetened condensed milk Preheat your oven to 350F with a rack in the middle position. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a mat or parchment paper.Unwrap the caramels, place in a zip lock bag, and use a rolling pin to break into small pieces. Do the same to break the crackers into small pieces. Put the broken crackers, caramels, and condensed milk into a medium bowl and mix well with a fork.Dump the mixture on the the prepared baking sheet, and use a spatula to spread out to an even, 1/2" thickness. Bake for 15 minutes. While the bites are baking lay a sheet of parchment paper on your counter. Dump the cooked mixture onto the parchment, and as it cools use two spoons to break it up into bite size pieces. Let cool completely before eating.

This is an easy recipe using pork tenderloin. Pork Scaloppine (Real Simple) 8 ounces curly egg noodles 1 1 1/4-pound pork tenderloin, sliced 3/4 inch thick, pounded 1/4 inch thick kosher salt and black pepper 1/4 cup flour 2 tablespoons olive oil 2/3 cup white wine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Meanwhile, season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat it in the flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, brown the pork, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the wine and butter and cook for 1 minute. Add the pork back to the skillet and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve the pork and sauce over the noodles.

This recipe was in the food section of the Tampa Bay Times this morning. It isn't what you'd call a light dessert, but it sure sounds good if you like coconut. Coconut Poke Cake 1 (18.25 oz.) pkg. white cake mix 1 (14 oz.) can cream of coconut 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (8 oz.) pkg. flaked coconut, toasted 2 c. heavy whipping cream 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. coconut extract 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar Prepare and bake white cake mix according the package directions for a 9x13" pan. Remove cake from oven. While cake is still hot, using a large-tined utility fork or chopstick, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Mix cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk together. Pour over the top of the still-hot cake. Cool completely. While cake is cooling, toast coconut. Place coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally and watch closely. Once it starts to brown, it will burn quickly. Remove from pan immediately or the residual heat will continue to cook (and burn) coconut. Let cool completely. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. This may take 5 minutes. Add flavorings and powdered sugar, continue until stiff paks form. Once the cake has cooled, spread whipped cream evenly over the top, then sprinkle with toasted coconut. Refrigerate immediately. NOTE: This cake gets better after refrigeration. The topping will deflate slightly, but the coconut flavor gets more intense. Still delicious two full days after it was made. Serves about 12.
