Recipe Club

These are just a few of the girls that come to recipe club. I started the recipe group almost 5 years ago. What started out as a few friends that wanted to get together and share recipes ended up with over 20+ gals coming. So we moved locations to the church where we are able to fit all the girls as well as have a place for the kids to run without destroying too much!

Left to Right: Brook B, Shelly T, Lisa W, Judy B, Karen S and Me Christi.

One of the reasons I like recipe club is that I can try new recipes out and see if my kids like them before wasting my energy and money on food they will not each. Plus the chatting time is not too bad too!

This months theme was Family Recipes. I shared this frozen Dessert that my mom made all the time. I was happy to see it was a hit as well as 2nds were taken!

**Don't let the name fool you this is a tasty frozen or nearly frozen treat!**

Mom's Pink Salad

1 - 12 oz. Package of Thick and creamy whipping cream

1 - 8 oz package of cream cheese (I used the 1/3 less fat kind and could NOT tell a difference!)

1 Can Crushed Pineapple (drained)

1 Carton of Strawberries

2 Bananas cubed

Mini Marshmallows

1 Carton Raspberry Yogurt

1 package of Raspberry or Strawberry Jello ** See note**

Soften cream cheese add a little sugar. Then add the cut up Strawberries and bananas and Marshmallows to liking. Mix in the Yogurt and fold in the whip cream.

** If needed to make the dessert look more "pink" add a little of the Jello to give flavor and color.

Place in freezer safe bowl and freeze for 3-6 hours pending the freezer. We like it where it is just frozen and yet still a little soft. This dish has great memories as it was taken often to family events I hope that you like it as much as we do!

Make Pretty with strawberry placements or mint to garnish.
