Thanksgiving Flashback

Let's pretend I did this right after Thanksgiving and it isn't the middle of December now.

It has been a busy few weeks, to include not only two computers crashing but modem problems as well. It has been interesting to say the least. Enough of that though, lets relive at least one of the desserts from my holiday because really it was a great one and lots of great food came from it!

I know we are going backwards but hey that's just how it is this morning. Thanksgiving in Reverse! Here was the hit of the party, the kids loved it!! Fruit Pizza turkey style. They simply could not get enough! You can really do this recipie any time you wish. I've been doing it for years around the Fourth of July but when my husband asked for 'fruit pizza' for Thanksgiving I was a little stumped until I started thinking of all the great colorful fruits that were out there and then I was like 'By George I think I've got it' ran down to the local Dollar General, found a turkey windchime, took it apart used the wooden head and tada!!!! I was totally excited with how he turned out and everyone just had to have a slice!


Never Fail Sugar Cookies
2 cups of flour
2/3 cup of shortening
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
2 tlb milk
1 tsp vanilla

Cut shortening into flour.
Add in sugar blend well
Add egg, milk and vanilla blend until moist.

Press cookie mixture into the pan of your choice. A round pizza pan or a square greased cookie sheet ( on my squares I use a 9/13 casserole dish)
Cook at 400 for 7 mins, now this could varry from oven to oven just press the center and make sure it is done, but remember not to overcook because no one wants a hard cookie! Let Cookie cool

Creamy Pizza Topping

8 oz of cream cheese
8 oz of cool whip topping
1 cup of sugar

Cream cheese should be soft, adding in the sugar until you have it well blended. Then fold in whipped topping. Let it set up as the cookie cooks and then cools.

Once you have a cooled cookie you will need to bring it out and spread on your topping and from there it is up to you.

In the summer I use bananas, blueberries and strawberries to make an American Flag, Thanksgiving I used... Cranberries, bananas, and mandarin oranges.



ENJOY!!! I promise they will love it!
