coriander-crusted salmon

This fish will rock your face off! It's super simple and has a ton of flavor. Serve on top of chickpea artichoke salad for a satisfying meal. My daughter loves this meal and said it was so good that she didn't even notice the red onions in the salad (she's 9).

Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
Duncan Hines recipe

Ingredients

Cookies

• 1 package of Lemon Cake Mix (any brand will do)
• 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Lemon Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar (I used less, we like our glaze more tart)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice together. Dough will be stiff.
Drop on ungreased cookie sheet 1" apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or just until edges are slightly brown. While the cookies bake, make the glaze. Mix powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest together. When cookies come out of oven, let them cool 1 minute then drizzle with glaze and enjoy!
