We'll meet at Jennie's on Thursday, March 15th at 11:00 a.m.

See you there!!

Dessert Recipes You Need

Hey folks,

Thought I'd share my two favorite dessert recipes, which as usual come from my favorite recipe blog.

You just need them.  :)

Love, Miriam

Easy No-Bake Cheesecake

                 

                1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened

                ½ cup sugar

                1 Tbsp. lemon juice

                1 8-oz. container Cool Whip

    1 6-oz. prepared graham cracker crust

    Desired toppings, e.g. blueberry pie filling, raspberry sauce, graham cracker crumbs, fresh   strawberries, or chocolate syrup for drizzling

* Note: Double the filling if using a larger pie crust or if you want the pan be heaping with cheesecake goodness

In a large bowl, whip together cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice until smooth and lump free.  Mix in Cool Whip just until thick, creamy and combined.  Pour into prepared graham cracker crust.  Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until set (if you’re in a hurry, put it in the freezer for 1-2 hours).  Serve cold with desired toppings.

 

Triple Chocolate Cake

                1 chocolate cake mix

                1 4-oz. package chocolate pudding mix

                1 ¾ cups milk

    2 eggs, slightly beaten

                1 12-oz. package chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9 or 10-inch Bundt pan.  Sift together cake mix and pudding mix.  Mix in milk and eggs until well combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Pour into pan.  Bake for 45-50 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto serving plate.  Top with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, or my personal favorite—fresh whipped cream and raspberries. 

I know I'm late and February's almost done,

but please come over this Friday for food and fun.

Bring us something new to you.

Nothing from your tried and true.

Sweet, spicy or maybe even blue.

Eleven o'clock will be the start time.

C-ya then, hope you enjoyed this rhyme.

Maybe, I'll make something with a lime:)

Reminder

Just a reminder that we're having Recipe Group at my house tomorrow at 11:00.  Bring on your Birthday Requests!         -Miriam

Birthday Requests

This month, bring something you asked your mom to make for your birthday when you were a child.  I want to hear about your childhood birthday traditions and see pictures of you in your awkward years (I've got plenty myself).  Hope to see you then!

Thursday, January 19th at Miriam's house.
