Strawberries and Strawberries...

When I was first married, I went to a fathering for women in our neighborhood. It was a brunch, so everyone brought something to niddble on. For dessert, this recipe was served. It is a great dessert if you need to feed a lot of people, or you can reduce the recipe in half to just feed your smaller family. You will love it. I have used frozen strawberries and fresh ones. Of course, the fresh ones are to die for, but the frozen ones are a snap to use. You get to decide which one you want. Its all yummy!

1 pkg Danish Dessert (you can find this in the same area as the jello)
1-2 pkg fresh strawberries (or 1-2 pkg frozen strawberries). How much you use depends on how strong a flavor you want.
1 white cake mix
1 pkg (8 oz) of cream cheese
1 c of whipped topping (regular whip cream does not work as well with this recipe)

Make the Danish Dessert sauce according to the pie glaze directions on the package. Add the berries at the last few minutes if you want to cook the fruit. You can wait until the pudding has cooled and add uncooked berries then.

Make the cake mix as directed on the package. This is where you have to make a decision. If you are serving more than 10-12 people, then use a jello roll pan (greased and floured or sprayed with PAM). If you are not serving that many than use a 9 x 13 pan. This can serve as many as 18-20 people with the jelly roll pan. Cool the cake completely.

Soften the cream cheese and whip it smooth. Fold in the whipped topping carefully. Mix well.

Frost the completely cooled cake with the cream cheese mixture. Top with the fruit topping.

Enjoy!

Chess Squares, Nieman Marcus Bars, Paula Deen and Gooey Butter Cake....The real origin

Kevin & Amanda's Chess Squares So, I saw this recipe on Pinterest a few weeks ago and thought, hmmm. I need to try this! With my daughter's open heart surgery, starting my final year of school and then a few major work projects, the blog got lost in the shuffle for a bit. Last week however, I started on a cooking binge and the first thing on the clip board to try were these chess squares. I read the blog that posted the recipe and realized they were reminiscent to her of another recipe. I thought they sounded (and looked) like something I used to have at my grandmas. So the sleuth in me kicked in, and a hunting I went, trying to find the progression on the variations of this recipe and ultimately, the origins. Nieman Marcus Buttermilk Pie Paula Deen's Gooey Butter Cake Searching for "Chess Squares" took me to Nieman Marcus Bars, which led me to the Nieman Marcus Website and their Butter Cake . I then found the Paula Deen "Gooey Bu

Chocolate Chip Reeses or Rollos Brownie thingys?

I have no idea what to call these, but oh my goodness are they easy and good. This recipe comes to you via Pinterest. I tried to trace it all the way back to its originator, but failed. It just kept going. So, I do not claim these as mine - although I have tweaked them and will try something new this weekend. As the picture indicates, these were done with premade cookie dough, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and box brownie mix. Thats the "easy" no frill recipe. Here it is: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray the insides of a square all edges brownie pan with Pam spray. Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of premade cookie dough and press into the bottom of each square. Top the cookie dough with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup placed upside down. Then fill up the well with your favorite prepared brownie mix up to 3/4 full. Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes. Remove and cool slightly. Here are some tips: You can use cupcake/muffin tins (either small o

Stuffed Cube Steak

The other day, I had a hankering for cube steak, but did not want Swiss Steak or Chicken Fried Steak - my usual go to's. I wanted to do something else with cube steak and remembered I had bookmarked a recipe from Pinterest that involved cube steak, bacon and goat cheese. I tried it, we liked it, and it is now in the regular dinner rotation. I also discovered that this recipe can be done on the grill and is quite tasty either broiled or grilled. You dont need a potato or rice dish with it. A really nice salad and some crusty bread with some homemade lemonade really makes this a great summer meal. It is also very quick. Just what we all want out of our summer dishes! Stuffed Cube Steak Serves 4 4 Cube steaks salt and pepper to taste 4 oz cream cheese (or goat cheese) softened - very soft. 2 T coconut oil 1 small sweet onion (Vidalia or Maui) finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 2 c baby spinach - stems removed and coarsely chopped 6-8 slices sun dried to
