The Recipe Swap Box

I found a blog that is sharing recipies.

This FUN starts at http://ihavetosay.typepad.com/

There you will find a number of folks sharing.


My contributions to this event is as follows:

#1 Pink Lemonade Salad - one of my Grandmothers desserts.
Ingredients:
About 40 Ritz crackers
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 stick of butter or margerine
1 - 8oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 - can of sweetened condenced milk
1 - 6oz can of frozen pink lemonade
A few drops of red food coloring (optional)

Directions:
--Put the crackers in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

--Add powdered sugar and melted butter to the crackers and press them to the bottom of a 8" X 8" cake dish. Reserve a portion of the crackers to sprinkle on top of the dessert.

--After having the cream cheese at room temperature, mix it with an electric mixer until smooth with the condensed milk and lemonade, and food coloring.

--Sprinkle the reserved crackers on top and allow to chill for a couple of hours.


#2 Chicken with Duck Sauce
Ingredients are as follows:
Chicken parts of your choosing.
1 envelope of powdered onion soup mix.
1 small bottle of Catalina salad dressing.
1 small jar of apricot jam.

Directions:
--Bring out your favorite retangular cake pan, and lay the chicken parts closely together.

--Mix the powdered soup, salad dressing and jam together in a bowl, and pour over the meat, but not too liberally. Not to leave the sauce too deep on the bottom of the pan, it will not allow the meat to glaze well. If after you see you may want more sauce added during the cooking, just use your own judgment.

--Leave the dish uncovered (this will allow the sauce to glaze nicely), and place it in a 350* oven for close to an hour, or until the meat is "fallin' apart done".

--When you retrieve the meat from the oven it serves nicely atop prepared rice. After dipping the extra fat off the sauce, pour the "drippings" over the meat and rice, or serve it on the side.

This dish will be a winner, even for the hardest to please at your table! We have a granddaughter that will avoid chicken at ALL costs ...but will enjoy this dish anytime it's served.

The sauce also compliments pork and beef as well.

If you wish, there is a delightful Fruit Sherbet just below. :)


Enjoy!
