POOR MAN'S COOKIES
In the 1930s, producers of a popular radio program called Jake and Lena invited listeners to write in for this recipe. My mother changed the name from Jake and Lena Cookies to Poor Man's Cookies because they contained no eggs, milk or nuts. Despite the name, the cookies are rich in taste!

These are traditionally made at Christmas at Grandma's house. Fattigman (pronounced futty mun) means poor man. They are my very favorite Norwegian treat!

Steps:
- Start off with cooking the white rice.
- As the rice is cooking start cooking your beef, I like to season it with pepper and mesquite seasonings, but you can also use garlic salt or any other seasonings you prefer.
- Once the meat and rice is done cooking mix together the meat, rice, and soup.
- Top it with the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven on 375 for about 30 minutes or until the cheddar is bubbly and starting to brown,.
- * Sometimes I like to mix corn into it to give it a little more nutrition/flavor.

GRANDMA'S POOR MAN'S CAKE
This cake is something my Grandma made during the depression. I always thought it sounded odd, but it is actually pretty good. My Dad said that as kids (he was one of 9) it was one thing that was always a treat.
