Excellent pie

This recipe was in the paper a couple of years ago. Takes along time to make, but it is excellent. I have been offered $30.00 for this pie, but prefer the smile it puts on my family's face!


White chocolate strawberry shortcake pie

For white-chocolate glaze:

1/3 cup heavy cream

4 ounces white chocolate, chopped

For cream-cheese filling:

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed

To assemble pie:

1 (9-inch) layer butter-recipe yellow cake, cooled (use a mix or your favorite scratch recipe)

1 (10-inch) deep-dish pie crust, baked and cooled

4 cups fresh strawberries

1 (13.5-ounce container) strawberry glaze (see note)

16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed

2 ounces white chocolate, chopped

2 teaspoons shortening

To prepare white-chocolate glaze: Heat cream in a small saucepan until steaming; add white chocolate. Remove from heat and stir until chocolate is melted. Set aside.

To prepare cream-cheese filling: Beat cream cheese until fluffy; gradually beat in powdered sugar, then vanilla. Fold in whipped topping. Set aside.

To assemble pie: Trim outside edge of cake layer so that cake will fit into the bottom of the pie crust; set cake trimmings aside for garnish. Split cake layer horizontally.

Spread 1/3 of cream-cheese filling in the pie crust. Invert the top half of the cake layer, cut side up, into the filled crust. Spread with 1/2 of the white-chocolate glaze. Spread remaining white-chocolate glaze onto the cut surface of remaining cake half.

Rinse and dry berries. Select a few of the prettiest berries; set aside for garnish. Stem and slice remaining berries. Combine sliced berries with strawberry glaze; stir carefully to coat. Spread about half the glazed berry slices over the cake in the pie crust. Invert bottom half of cake layer (glazed side down) over berries.

Frost sides and top of cake with remaining cream-cheese filling, smoothing the surface. (It should look like a frosted cake sitting in a pie shell.) Grind the reserved cake trimmings into crumbs; press into sides of cake. Arrange remaining glazed berries on top. Spoon whipped topping into a pastry bag; pipe on decorative rosettes.

Melt white chocolate with shortening; drizzle over top and sides. Garnish with reserved whole berries.

I've found that an excellent, never fail substitute for the dumplings is commercially-prepared flour tortillas, sliced into strips, and dropped individually into the boiling broth. They come out the consistency that Grandma used to make, and it works every time. It also tends to thicken the broth a bit.

Pasta Alfredo with Chicken and Bacon

This is a favorite for both my family and my husband's family. I make it EVERY time we get together. I haven't met anyone yet who doesn't like it. It's super quick to make and can be eaten hot with salad and bread or cold as a pasta salad. I came up with the recipe after eating Farfalle al Sugo Bianco at the Macaroni Grille...I hope I spelled all of that right. It's not exactly like the Macaroni Grille's, but it doesn't have to be, since it's mine, right?

This was the first thing I ever made for my husband, and he's been all mine since that night...the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

I've even published this in some of our family cookbooks. I'm very proud of this recipe and would love your feedback on it.

I would say this serves about four...my family of three eats it for dinner then my daughter and I usually finish it off the next day for lunch.

Ingredients

½ lb pasta (rotini or bowtie)
1 jar Alfredo Sauce
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ lb bacon
3 green onions, chopped
Garlic, Salt & Pepper, to taste
Olive oil

Boil pasta in salted water. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and cook with garlic, salt and pepper. Fry or bake bacon and chop into small pieces. Pour alfredo sauce into a saucepan, use milk to rinse remaining sauce out of jar. Add chicken, half of bacon and half of green onions to sauce, heat until warm. Pour sauce over cooked and drained pasta, toss to coat. Top with remaining bacon and green onions.

NOTE: Cook the chicken anyway you like. I have boiled it, fried it, marinated and grilled it, & rolled it in italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and fried it. My favorite, by far, is to place the cut up raw chicken into a bowl with about ¼ cup of olive oil, add about 4 cloves of crushed garlic, let it sit for about 10 minutes, salt it, then dump it all in a nonstick skillet to quick fry. Then you just kind of drain it and add it to your sauce.

I am always asked to bring this to potlucks, and it is always a hit. The ammounts vary. If brocolli is on sale I use more, if it is expensive less. Same with cheese. I prefer brown rice, but have also made it well with white.

Cook rice by your favorite recipe. (I use two parts salted water to one part rice, bring to boil, cover pan reduce heat and cook until water is absorbed.)

When rice is almost cooked, add brocolli. I use either frozen or fresh. If using fresh, cut head into small pieces. Peal stem and slice about 1/8 inch slices. When rice is finished cooking the brocolli should be done also. Then add Cream of Mushroom soup and grated chedder cheese. I like sharp, but medium works also.

For a potluck, I usually use 1 pound of rice, about a pound of brocolli, a family size can of soup and from a half pound to a pound of cheese. This makes enough to fill my crock pot, which always works well for take along meals. Also good put into a casserole with bread crumb topping and baked until top is brown.

Twenty-five years ago I went to a friend's house for dinner; she made this. After that I was hooked. I've been collecting and tweaking with recipes ever since, and you know? As simple and unassuming as this one is, to this day--its still my best one and I have some good stuff! I've been asked for it so many times, I finally ended up leaving extra copies in my box for when I take it somewhere or make it for someone else. Its yet to fail..literally--I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe.

This is the centerpiece of my collection:

Bird's Quiche (Linda George)

1 deep dish pastry shell (purchased, or use your favorite pastry recipe)
10 oz frozen spinach, cooked
1 c shredded Swiss cheese
1 - 7 oz can (or bigger; doesn't matter) Hormel canned chicken
1/4 c chopped onion
2 eggs slightly beaten
3/4 cup Best Foods (Hellman's) Mayonnaise
3/4 c milk
1 tsp basil
1/4 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 375*. Pierce pastry shell well with a fork. Bake 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350*. Prepare filling:

Put the spinach in a large strainer and, using the back of a soup spoon, press out as much of the cooking liquid as you can; the dryer the better. Place in a medium sized mixing bowl along with the chicken and onion and chop together well with a fork, taking care not to break down the chicken pieces too much.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, milk, basil and pepper (no salt). Fold into the spinach mixture until evenly incorporated. Poor in cooled crust. Bake 45 - 50 minutes. Top will be browned. Allow to stand 30 minutes before cutting.

This is good hot or at room temperature. Muffins and fruit go well.

Can't Miss Sweet and Sour Meatballs

These are sooo simple, and always a hit at parties and get-togethers!

1 package of frozen, precooked, homestyle meatballs
1 large can jellied cranberry sauce
1 small can tomato sauce
1 medium onion, diced

Place frozen meatball on a baking sheet, and bake according to package directions.
Meanwhile, place onions in the bottom of a slow-cooker on high, and cook until transparent.
Add cranberry and tomato sauces to cooker, and heat and stir until cranberry sauce is melted.

These are better the longer you can let them simmer, but can be done on the stovetop and served immediately! Easy, and sooo tasty!
