This year, our church had a pre-Thanksgiving potluck at the Saesim's. I was inspired from the Food Network to make 2 out of these 3 dishes. It's really not much, but I take pride in it because bottom line, I don't cook that much. Here's what I prepared:
Paula Dean's Banana Split Brownie Pizza
I don't know why this picture keeps coming up sideways, but pretty much I baked brownie pizza in a 13 inch round pizza pan. (bake brownie according to box instructions - I used Duncan Hines Chewy Mix). Then, the spread (in white) is actually cream cheese mixed with a little bit of sugar and crushed pineapples (drained). You don't want to know just how much cream cheese I used. =/ Anyways, you can pretty much add whatever fruit you'd like. I added sliced strawberries, blueberries, & bananas (w/ a little lemon juice to prevent browning).
Wala~~~~~....I love this dessert because it's quick and easy.
And very fun to decorate! =) After putting on the spread & fruit, I added peanuts and chocolate syrup! =)
It was very fun! I have to admit, I was a bit scared of how it would taste (...never tried it before...) Thank goodness it was a hit! =) I mean...how can you go wrong with brownies, cream cheese, and fruit, right???
Here's the link to this wonderful recipe:
Next: Robin Miller's Herbed cheese stuffed bread twists!
1. Buy refrigerated bread sticks. Or if you're gung ho, make your own dough.
2. Dip your finger in water and make a canal.
3. Spread herb cheese through the canal. I used Alouette Garlic & Herb Spreadable Cheese.
4. Then you fold over both sides to cover the spread.
5. Twist the bread sticks and lay it on a pan (spray with PAM oil) or a cooking sheet. Brush bread sticks with egg white and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
There you have your herbed cheese stuffed bread twists!
