Answer 2

Yogurt Fruit Parfaits

8 oz. container of vanilla yogurt (or your fav flavor)
frozen or fresh berries
granola cereal for the topping

Layer the yogurt and fruit then top with granola, a simple healthy recipe!


Pita Pockets

Cut a pita pocket in half, stuff with a good lean meat or have a vegetarian one.

Nachos Deluxe

Tortilla Chips, shredded cheese, pepperoni, hamburg, green peppers, onions, black olives
Brown the hamburg then load all the toppings on the nachos on a baking sheet. Top off with the cheese. Good with sour cream and salsa.

Answer 3

Try making mini pizza with refrigerator biscuit dough.
All you have to do is make each round of dough a little flatter, add some of your favorite sauce and cheese.
You can also put toppings on it, such as pepperoni, pineapple and ham or veggies.
They are great and easy to make!

1/2 '' salt
2 '' sugar (any)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 '' butter or margarine
1 egg

in a bowl mix flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
break up margarine and mix in bowl.
add egg and milk .
mix (it might be alittle hard to mix but it's worth it!!! and remember NOT to use an electronic mixer... use your hands!!)

heat oven to 350 degrees, place little BALLS of dough onto tray (do not squish them down remember they're not cookies!)

(this sometimes works best with some shredded cheese in it!!)

Answer 6

Lemon Pillow Cake

1 white cake mix
1 can lemon pie filling

Mix cake as directed on box and pour into a 9x13 pan. Place spoonsful of lemon pie filling in blobs over batter. Bake as directed on the box. Let cool completely. Cake batter covers blobs, so there will be pockets of lemony filling inside.

Frosting

1 can ready to spread lemon flavored frosting
1 tub of Cool Whip, thawed

Mix frosting and Cool Whip together and spread on cake. This does need to be kept refrigerated.

Scalloped Potatoes
--Fannie Flags Whistle Stop Café cookbook

2 lbs. Russet potatoes
3 tbs. Bacon drippings
3 tbs. Margarine
1 tbs. AP flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c. whipping cream (aka Heavy Cream)
Milk

Preheat over to 350ºF. Peal and slice potatoes thin. Put a layer in greased 1½ quart baking dish. Drizzle some of the bacon/margarine over your layer of potatoes, sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper and move on to the next layer. You may also use a bit of minced onion on the layers, if you like.

When you have your layers all set, pour the whipping cream over the layers then add enough milk to bring the level up near the top of the potatoes. (Don't overfill your pan with potatoes or the milk or it will boil over in your oven!) Cover loosely with foil and bake 1½ hours, remove foil and increase temp in the oven to 400ºF and bake another 15 minutes to brown the top.
