Oreo Truffles

I make this one a lot because everyone always LOVES it, and because it is easy.

1 pkg oreos, crush  (keep in the filling)
1 pkg softened cream cheese
 mix, form balls, cool in fridge.

dip and cover in melted white bark chocolate.
If you want to make them look pretty, can drizzle dark chocolate on them.

I have also seen people add in 1/2 t vanilla, 1/3 c p. sugar into cream cheese.

 We went to our friends for dinner on Sunday and she made this pie, it was SOO good. She sent me the recipe, apparently it makes 3 pies, so if you want to freeze them or something.

FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE

2 1/2 cups sugar 2 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry jello

3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 tsp. salt 7 cups strawberries

3 pie shells

Make paste with cold water, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into boiling water and mix well. Cook until thick, about 3 minutes. Add jello and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Chill.

When cold, add strawberries and pour into baked pie shells.

Let stand 3 hours before serving. 

Top with whipped cream to serve (this made it extra good!!)

Yummy EASY dessert, don't know the name of it

So my friend made this for a potluck, and it is the easiest thing to make, and it taste really good.

1 sm pkg vanilla instant pudding
1 sm container cool whip
1 large container vanilla yogurt
 mix
add in fruit, like raspberries or strawberries, you don't have to add a lot

chill a couple of hours in the fridge, or the pudding will still be crunchy if you don't.

That's it!

Rhubarb Pie

Heidi wanted me to post this. We love this pie a lot.

Rhubarb Pie

4 c chopped Rhubarb
1 1/3 c sugar
6 T flour
1 T butter
1 recipe for a double crust

mix sugar and flour and sprinkle 1/4 of that over crust in plate. Heap rhubarb over that. Sprinkle rest of mixture, dot with butter. Cover with the other crust. LOWEST rack in oven for 15 minutes at 450, then reduce temp to 350 and keep in oven for 40-45 minutes.

The sugar needs to touch bottom and top of crust to caramelize, so don't mix it in the rhubarb.

Eat with vanilla ice cream and it is delicious!!
