Fruit Pizza

Cream together the following:
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp fruit juice (I use pineapple, but I think you could use any)

For Crust, 1 tube of premade sugar cookie dough.

After crust is baked take your creamed items and smooth over. Add fruits and pour glaze over everything.

Glaze:
1 1/2 cup fruit juice
2 Tbsp corn starch
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Glaze is done when it thickens (also, almost goes a clear color). Make sure you let it cool before you pour over the fruit.

Fruits:
strawberries
grapes
kiwi
bananas
pineapple
nectarines/peaches
raspberries
blueberries
Anything else you think would be good on it.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

thanks WAAY!

it'll be in the book!

Avid Listener · Chairwoman Of The Board

My pleasure!! It is awesome!!! I know it is not quick but yet it really is since you can have it cooking all day and when you get home just zap some potatoes and vegetables and you have a whole meal that is really good.

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

I think that works just fine! when I worked 3rd shift, I used to use the crock pot a lot! ribs, bbq sauce, onions and mushrooms thrown together at 8 am- by 5 pm I was waking up to the delicious smell instead of the alarm clock!

Avid Listener · Chairwoman Of The Board

This is a recipe that is inspired by RACHEL RAY....

Ingredients:

8 small potatoes

1 small yellow onion

Dash of Salt

Dash of Pepper

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Directions:

Wash potatoes and use a fork to poke holes into the potatoes. Place potatoes into the microwave for 10 minutes. Let potatoes cool to the touch and cut into bit-size pieces. Warm the olive oil in frying pan and place potato pieces into pan. Use a cheese grater to grate onions right over the potatoes (so all the juices from the onion go into the pan), season to your liking and brown.

ok y'all know that I'm not much of a cook so I'm having a hard time coming up with something. But people are always asking me to bring my dip to parties.

Mexican Dip

use an 8x11 cake pan and layer the following:

1 large can of refried beans

1 large bottle of salsa. I usually use mild, but it depends on what you want

1 med size tub of sour cream. (I sometimes add more) The sour cream with have to be somewhat softened or it wont spread very well.

Cover with shredded mexican/taco blend cheese.

Serve with tortilla chips. Scoops work well with this.

And it's very easy to double up.

Avid Listener · Chairwoman Of The Board

Woo- That mexican dip sounds scrumptious!! No wonder everyone asks you to bring it!! We have monthly parties for birthdays and I might just have to bring this dip!! Thanks!!!

Woo Hoo · The Chosen Woo

Our other one is a spread

mix imitation crab meat with ****tail sauce and pour it over a block of softened cream cheese. Serve with Ritz crackers.

It's very addicting!

My little one's favorite thing right now is smoothies. The secret is to keep your fruit frozen. You don't have to worry about spoilage and with them being frozen, you don't have to add ice.

2 cups of v8 strawberry/banama smoothie juice

1 frozer banana

1/2 cup of strawberries

handful of blueberries.

Put it all in a blender and then I add one sugar substitute packet to make it sweeter.

PS: We have lots of other combos too, but that's her favorite.

I like this recipe a lot...a yummy summer dish! (Sarah's Secrets)

Shrimp Ceviche

Kosher salt
2 pounds medium-small shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 limes, juiced
8 lemons, juiced
2 oranges, juiced, preferably sour oranges
2 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 bunch cilantro, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 serrano chile, roughly chopped
2 large avocados, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
Tortilla chips, for garnish

In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the shrimp and simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a bowl of ice water to chill.

Drain the shrimp, cut into 1-inch pieces, and transfer to a bowl. Add the lime, lemon, and orange juice, stir to combine, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 6.

Stir the tomato, onion, cilantro, and chile into the shrimp mixture and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

When ready to serve, gently stir in the avocado and cucumber. Divide the ceviche among 8 chilled martini glasses and tuck 2 to 3 tortilla chips around the sides of each.

Speaking of shrimp, this is what I made 2 nights ago (makes one serving):

3 tbs butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
handful of frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined (I'm sure you could also use fresh)
1 tbs dry sherry (plus a glass for the cook)
thin spaghetti (or I would've used angelhair pasta if I had it on hand)

Cook the pasta.
Melt the butter. Add the garlic. Add the shrimp and cook until pink. Meanwhile, drink the glass of sherry (but not the tablespoon). Add the tablespoon of sherry and cook until warm.
Serve the butter sauce and shrimp over pasta.

Shrimp with Basil, Garlic & Tomatoes
[Food Network: How to Boil Water]

1 cup quartered cherry or grape tomatoes (about 12)
5 large fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium-large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp. Divide the shrimp between 2 (8 or 9-inch) pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans. Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat, or do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Season 1 side of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to lightly film the bottom of the pan and turn the heat up to high. Invert the pan of shrimp so they all fall into the skillet(s) at once. Saute the shrimp, undisturbed, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a bit more oil and 1/2 the garlic to each pan. Turn the heat off and turn the shrimp over with tongs. Cook the shrimp for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl with the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or a serving platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
