March Recipe #2

     Well, I have had several people tell me they are enjoying scrolling down "Heather's Recipe Lane"...so I thought I would make that scroll a little longer by adding one more recipe a month!
     Now that Winter is gone and the warm weather is hopefully here to stay until Fall, I have a very good, easy, pretty and refreshing dish for you guys to try and enjoy this Spring season. I have used this dish as a appetizer/snack/salad side or dessert. By far, this is one of my "many" favorite dishes!
    “Strawberry Jell-O Salad” (Large Batch)
Ingredient’s:
1-Large Cool-Whip
1-Large Cottage Cheese (Small Curd)
1-Large Can Crushed Pineapple
2-Large Boxes Strawberry Jell-O
        2-Cups Boiling Water
Directions:
Pour 2 cups boiling water over jell-o mix. Stir until dissolved (2min.). Drain all pineapple juice into a measuring cup, make up to 2 cups with cold water. Stir this into jell-o. Add cottage cheese and pineapples (stir). Fold in cool-whip (stir thoroughly). Place mixture in a large container. Chill over night. (Keep Refrigerated)

Note: This dish can be made (almost) Sugar Free. And you can also use Lemon/Lime/Orange or whatever flavor Jell-O you like instead of the Strawberry. For those of you that are dieting, it can also be made as a Low-Fat dish as well. Believe me, it is still good Low-Fat....Anything cold and refreshing taste good to your taste-buds when you've been on a diet STARVING for two months. ha-ha! Its worth it though!! (Side Note: I have said farewell to 22 pounds thus far!!!YAY!!) 

Until Later...."That's all for now, Good Folks"!!!

March Treat!!

Diet or no Diet you should always have a family treat, the easier the better sometimes!! And with those kind of treats..Those fat grams are not counted in my diet. HA!
         
         "Oreo Pie"

Ingredients:
8oz. Cream Cheese, Softened
½ - 1 Package Oreo’s, Chopped
1 Large Cool Whip
1 (9in.) Graham Cracker Pie Crust or Oreo Pie Crust
Direction:
1. In a large bowl, beat soften cream cheese and thawed cool-whip until smooth.
2. Fold in chopped Oreo's. Pour mixture in pie shell and refrigerate until firm. Cut and Enjoy!!

Try It!! And tell me how easy it really was!!

February!

    Well, believe it or not...It is now February! And I am trying to keep my (recipe post) promise. The way the weather has been the last few weeks I should be posting something cool and smooth for Spring, but I am afraid we still have some snow yet to come. Maybe If I believe we will have more snow, It will be reversed. Oh well, as you can tell I do love Spring! But, whatever God wants is o.k with me! He loves to keep us guessing though!  
     Cheese Ball is a good snack/appetizer, all year around...I like making it, #1: its easy, #2: it is quick to make, #3 you have to mix it with your hands, and when your done,,, you get "lick" your fingers clean! ( to me, that's the best part) And last but not least #4: I don't add #3's fat grams to my diet (it wasn't on my plate.. ha ha)!

Cheese Ball:
   2  8oz. Cream Cheese
   ½ lb. Shredded Ham
   2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
   2 Table Spoons Chopped Chives

In a medium bowl combine all ingredients. Mix together thoroughly and form into a ball. Place on a plate and top with additional chives. Chill for one hour, serve with crackers and enjoy.

Caramel Candied Apple's and Pretzel Rods "Yum"

I wanted to let everyone know about my Loaded Caramel Candied Apples and Caramel Coated Pretzel Rods. I have added a few pictures for you to see.
This picture was taken as I was filling orders for Christmas.

And here is my finished Apple ready to be delivered.

My Apples sell for $5.00 each. I do these all throughout the year. They will be tagged and decorated according to your occasion. These make wonderful gifts for any event that you don't get, just anywhere. These are also very pretty cut and placed on a platter right before serving for a party or gathering. (yields 8 slices)

And here is my Loaded Caramel Coated Pretzel Rod. $2.00 each. Makes a great gift as well! They are loaded with the same as my apples. You will find what I load them with to the right of my blog.

So there you have it...Loaded Apples and Pretzel Rods. If you would like More information, feel free to contact me, I will be happy to answer any question you have.
