REALLY easy fruit salad

3/4 pkg cream cheese
1 8oz container of cool whip

Soften the cream cheese and mix together with cool whip. Then add any fruit you want. I like to do strawberries, bananas, and apples, and grapes.



Janice's Orange Tapioca Salad

1-3 ounce box of Orange Jello
2-3 ounce boxes of Tapioca Pudding
3 cups Water

Mix together-cook until thick-cool and fold in 8 ounces Cool Whip.

Add 2 cans Mandarin Oranges, 1 13 1/2 ounce can Crushed Pineapple-well drained.

Pour into greased jello mold or dish. Refrigerate-best if it is overnight. Garnish with mandarin oranges. 

Red Velvet Pancakes

1 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
3 Tbsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl-set aside.

In a separate bowl whisk together:

1 large Egg
3/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1/8 tsp Red Gel Food Coloring (optional)
2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Add wet ingredients to dry, and mix until just combined. 
Cook pancakes on griddle.

Buttermilk Syrup

1 1/2 cups Sugar
3/4 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Butter
2 teaspoons Corn Syrup
1 teaspoon Baking Soda

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

In a saucepan (use a large pan as it will bubble up a lot) stir together the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda. Bring to a bowl and cook for 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla. 

Gingerbread Waffles

3 cups Flour
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Salt

4 large Eggs
2/3 cup packed Dark Brown Sugar

1 cup Canned Pumpkin
1 1/4 cups Milk
1/2 cup Molasses
1/2 cup Melted Butter

Preheat waffle iron.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt.

In a medium bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar until fluffy, then beat in pumpkin, milk, molasses and butter.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until moist. Do not over stir.

Spray waffle iron with Pam or brush with melted butter, then cook.

Serve with toppings of choice (buttermilk syrup and maple whipped cream).
