- 1 (8 oz) package Cream Cheese (soften)
- 1 (7 oz) jar Marshmallow Creme
Mix together equal parts of soft cream cheese and marshmallow creme. Stire well together, cut up fresh fruit and dip. Works really well with tart fruit.

Love that this recipe is quick, easy and delicious!

Recipe: Oreo Truffles
I picked up all the ingredients to make this on our Christmas Baking day, however, I didn’t have enough time to make it on Saturday. Since I had all the ingredients made this for another Holiday event. I picked up this recipe by Kraft at the grocery store and it is delicious!Oreo Truffles
- 1 package (8 ounces) Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 package (approximately 1 pound) Oreo Cookies (or other chocolate sandwich cookie), finely crushed (about 4 1/4 cups)
- 2 – 8 ounce packages (8 squares each) Baker’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted (you can use 1 Semi-Sweet and 1 White Chocolate if you prefer more variety)
1. Mix cream cheese and 3 cups of cookie crumbs until well blended.
2. Shape into 48 (1 inch) balls. Dip in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs.
3. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Family Recipe: Simple Potluck Corn
My husband had to make a side dish for a work event. The main course was BBQ so we wanted to come up with something that would compliment the main dish. The challenge was it couldn’t be something that required refrigeration or heating up right before the meal but had to make it four to five hours so they could eat it at lunch. Several years ago my Mom shared a recipe for corn that cooked in a crockpot it was simple, easy and delicious. Since Jake has a plug at his desk at work, I put together the corn recipe, stuck it in the crockpot and sent it with him to work. He stirred it a few times throughout the morning and it was ready just in time for the potluck lunch.Potluck Corn Recipe
- 32 ounces Frozen Corn
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese
- 1/2 stick Butter
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 6 tablespoons Water
- Salt
Cook on low in the crockpot for 4 hours.
The Potluck Corn recipe was a hit. Even though the crockpot went to work completely full it came home empty. Glad it was enjoyed by the Jake’s co-workers. It is always a joy to share with others.
