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.

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 will be a little sticky, b

Havreflarn (Swedish Oat Crisp Cookies)

We had some teenagers over for a Swedish themed dinner last night.  They were participating in a "missionary for a day" activity.  They were paired up into companionships, like the official missionaries for our church and were assigned to a family for dinner.  They ate with us and then taught us a lesson about Heavenly Father's plan for us.   My husband served a mission in Sweden.  He lived there for two years and loved it.  Swedish meatballs are a staple at our house.  (They're super easy to make and my pickiest eater's favorite!).  When we visit IKEA we usually stock up on the cream gravy packets and jars of Lingonberries.  We were out of lingonberry, but after a few phone calls, I found some at one of our local grocery stores. We ate meatballs, gravy, lingonberry, mashed potatoes (I ran out of time, other wise I would have steamed little red potatoes from our garden) and green beans (though my husband doesn't remember eating them in Sweden

The Best French Bread I've Ever Made

This is the best french bread I've ever made.  I got this recipe from my friend, Nikki, who gave us some of this bread as a thank you for my hubby helping them move a piano.  I remember it being delicious and we gobbled it up fast.  I was intimidated for some reason by the recipe and waited a few years before I made it. We needed some bread for to make some turkey, provolone, avocado sandwiches, so I made some of this bread and it was perfect!  We sliced one loaf like they do at Subway.  Then later I made normal shaped sandwiches with the rest of the bread.  Delicious... light and fluffy and yummy! Update 2/22/12: This is still my favorite bread after making it for a year! It turns out perfect every time and it's gone in a flash! printable recipe French Bread recipe from my friend, Nikki Yield: 2 loaves   Ingredients 2 c. warm water 1 pkg (or 1 heaping Tbsp.) yeast 1/4 c. granulated sugar 1 T. olive oil
