Fruit Fluff

This recipe was probably one of the simplest things I have put together.  You buy ready made angel food cake, fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.  There is a pudding type mixture as well that goes in between and each layer and keeps it fresh.  I had this in my fridge for about a week as we slowly ate it, and every bite was wonderful!
It was fun decorating the top with the extra berries.

Beet Salad

I have wonderful friends who are always volunteering to bring things to each others parties.  My friend Karen Harris brought this beet salad to Tanner's graduation party.  She searched high and low and then ordered beets from the local market.  She cooked them and made this very delectable beet salad.

You can see the giant bowl she made for Tanner's graduation party!


I got a chance to get my hands on some beets as well and made a batch for myself.  The salad actually is placed on a bed of lettuce.  I did not realize this and only got the top layer of beets when I went through the line.  I can attest to the fact that whether you serve these over lettuce or not, if you like beets, you will like this salad!

Cream Cheese Cookies

Since it is so late, I HAD to post a dessert....a nice little bedtime snack.  These were gone so quickly.  They are called cookies, but you make them in a pan and cut them into squares.  Easy, easy, easy!! (Not to mention TASTY!)

Zucchini Magnifico

This dish was really delicious.  I had to tell my family that it was Hamburger Magnifico.  They are not big on zucchini.  Tom tasted it and actually  LOVED it.  He even went back to seconds.  TJ's friend Jessie thought those were pickles on top. (I was afraid to tell him they were zucchini.)  He actually was very happy to hear that those weren't pickles, he is not fond of them, but he loves zucchini!
I think once you dish it up and take a bite, you will love this dish!

Chicken Chili with Beans

I found this one in with some of MY favorites.  This came from my sister in law Denise.  (She is such a good cook!)  A really quick, easy to do meal.  Great for a fall or winter meal!

Mock Chili Relleno


I know what you are thinking.....this dish doesn't really look like much!  HOWEVER, ....
just grab a spoon and dig in and you will find the riches buried beneath!
Lots of tomatoes, chilies, cheese, and eggs.  I bet you want to take a bite now don't you!  Too late, the boys ate it all!
