Hello All!
I know it has been a while since I have written and for that I apologize. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with some good sales for parents and some excellent crafts for kids. I think I may have found a few really good ones.
Recently, I was giving two American Girl magazines for my daughter and was amazed at the number of great ideas they contained. I wanted to share a few of those with you. I also wanted to update you on the latest sales that The Ultimate Book Soiree can offer though Barefoot Books. If you haven't checked out the website please do. These books are amazing. www.ultimatebooksoiree.info
As aways, I'm open to your suggestions and crafting ideas.
Thanks!
Phyllis
Fruit Pizza
This is a wonderful idea for those holiday sleepovers and even a family Christmas event.
Ingredients
1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice cookie dough and arrange on greased pizza pan, overlapping edges. Press dough flat into pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
2.In a large bowl, soften cream cheese, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust. You can chill for a while at this point, or continue by arranging the fruit.
3.Begin with strawberries, sliced in half. Arrange in a circle around the outside edge. Continue with fruit of your choice, working towards the middle. If bananas are used, dip them in lemon juice so they don't darken. Then make a sauce to spoon over fruit.
4.In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, corn starch, orange juice, lemon juice and water. Cook and stir over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, and add grated orange rind. Allow to cool, but not set up. Spoon over fruit. Chill for two hours, then cut into wedges and serve.
