Fruit Pizza

I love this recipe so much that I'm ignoring my Saturday night ironing and floor cleaning so I can share the recipe with you.  And, I'm trying to distract myself from eating the last piece of fruit pizza that is staring at me.  
 This recipe is from my sister-in-law, Annelisa, who is a fabulous cook!  Everything she makes is delicious!  This "pizza" has a sugar cookie crust, layered with cream cheese "frosting", topped with fruit and then a pineapple juice glaze.
I made this fruit pizza last night and my family ate lots of it for dinner (along with some pancakes).  It's healthy since it's "fruit" pizza, right?

This would be a yummy treat for Valentine's day.  If I lived closer to my dad, I would make this for him.  He loves sugar cookies!  It would be fun to make the pizza in a shape of a heart.

Fruit Pizza
recipe from Annelisa

Crust:
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tarter

Cream together butter and sugar.  Add egg.  Then add together flour, baking soda and cream of tarter.  Press onto a 14" pizza pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  Let cool.

Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese (I used fat-free)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat cream cheese until smooth.  Add sugar and vanilla.  Spread of cooled crust.

Fruit:  
Arrange fruit of your choice on frosting.  Can use strawberries, kiwi, bananas, mandarin oranges, pineapple, etc.

Glaze:
Heat 1/2 c. pineapple juice in saucepan.  Mix in 1 Tlb. cornstarch .  Cook until thick.  Pour over fruit.  This will keep the bananas from turning brown.  Chill.

One Hour Rolls

These rolls are amazing!  I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me.  The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour!  And delicious too!   I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them.  Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you. Here's what you'll need.  I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers.  You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour. In the mixer bowl, add warm water (not hot), oil, sugar and yeast.  Mix together. After ten or fifteen minutes the yeast mixture should be puffed up like this.  Time to add the salt and beaten egg. Then mix in the flour.  (I've used a mixture of half wheat and half white flour successfully.) Keep adding flour until the dough is manageable.  It ...

Chicken Angelo

Don't forget to enter the Whirley Pop giveaway .  It ends tomorrow! Am I the only person that asks their friends what they're making for dinner all the time?  That's kind of why I started this blog, because I want to know what my friends are making for dinner. The other day I asked my friend, Juli (who is great cook), what she was making for dinner.  She told me she was making Chicken Angelo.   Then she told me what's in it.  I knew I had to try it too because she has some picky eaters at her house like I do.   I figured if they'll eat it then maybe it was worth a try at my house. This Chicken Angelo pasta has my favorite things, artichoke hearts and mushrooms in it.  But don't be fooled into thinking that my family likes these things too.  Because they don't.  They won't touch an artichoke or mushroom with a ten foot pole. That being said, my family loved this pasta dish.  They even gave me the go ahead to make it again. ...
