Comments

I will soon be adding a new addition to my blog. Some friends and I am going to start making menus with shopping lists. If you would like to join our little party and add some recipes please comment below and let me know. This will save a lot of time for everyone and give us a variety of dishes. I think it will be a lot of fun. I will first be placing a pantry list after receiving recipes and then a list for each week. Five meals will allow you to adjust things and still have your family favorites. Lets Cook!!

Golden Graham Chex Mix
This is not your normal Chex Mix. It's sweet and amazingly good. A family favortie treat.

6 cups Golden Graham Cereal (generic brand is ok)

1 small package (about 3/4 cup) of silvered almonds

Mix the above ingredients together

Desolve and boil for 2 minutes the following:
3/4 cup butter or margarine

Pour about 1/2 mixture over dry ingredients and mix well. Repeat once more and ENJOY

Raspberry Lemonade Salad
This is a big hit where ever I take it. Its so easy. Don't let the ritz crackers fool you. If you don't know its ritz crackers you wouldn't believe it.

6 oz frozen raspberry lemonade (just use 1/2 of 12 oz can)
1 large container whip topping (I use a large and a small. It tastes great and goes further)
2 sleeves of Ritz Crackers
3/4-1 cup melted butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Melt butter in microwave. While doing that, add both sleeves of crackers in a gallon size ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or smash with hands. Mix crackers and butter and powdered sugar in a bowl. Place a little more than 1/2 of mixture in bottom of 9x13 pan. It will look kind of like a graham cracker crust would. Then mix frozen raspberry lemonade and whip topping together. Spread this on top of crust. Take the remaining cracker mixture and sprinkle generously on top. Refrigerate for at least an hour. If you need it in a hurry you can make it and take it. Refrigerating would just be good if you can.


Pastachio Pudding Fruit Salad.
your mom has probably made this. I love it for summer bar-b-ques. So easy and everyone loves it

1 small package pistachio pudding
1 large container of Cool Whip or any brand
1 can crushed pineapple or tidbits if you prefer, either one needs drained
1 cup mini marsh mellows
3/4 cup shredded coconut

Mix Whip topping and pudding and then add other ingredients in any order. If possible, refrigerate for an hour or so. But you can make it and take it if you need too.

The nice thing with this salad is you can add as much of something as you like or as little. You can also add additional items your family likes. I think nuts would be good in this also. I might have to give that a try.
