One of the best things about making recipes, is the ability to create fun little things that put a smile on your face, even before you eat them. Today, it’s broccoli on a boat! These remind me of those little romantic boats in Italy, as your cruise gently down the river of romance. Seeing as I’m always too busy to take the vacation myself, I have to get away somehow!
Here’s what you’ll need:
|
| MIX cream cheese and dressing until well blended. Spoon evenly over pepper slices. |
| TOP evenly with broccoli. |

If you’ve been living in the real world, you’d notice that things are beginning to get a little tight around the funds area. Money is on the minds of almost everyone in America, so we don’t have the time or money to be constantly going out to restaurants to get our ‘tater fixins, so here’s a quick and fool-proof way to make restaurant style baked potatoes, minus the tip! It’s about making the ordinary moments special anyway.
Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 25 min
Makes: 2 servings
Here’s what you need:
1 large baking potato (about 10 oz.)
2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
2 Tbsp. BREAKSTONE’S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
1/4 cup KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, divided
HEAT oven to 400ºF. Place potato on microwaveable plate. Prick in several places with fork. Microwave on HIGH 7 to 8 min. or until tender.
CUT potato in half lengthwise. Scoop flesh into bowl, leaving thin shells; mash with cream cheese spread, sour cream and 2 Tbsp. Cheddar. Spoon into shells; sprinkle with remaining Cheddar.
BAKE 10 min. or until cheese is melted and potatoes are heated through.
This Lemon-Blueberry dessert is awesome!
Prep Time: 15 min
Total Time: 5 hr 15 min
Makes: 24 servings
Here’s what you need:
40 NILLA Wafers, crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 cup plus 3 Tbsp. sugar, divided
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup BREAKSTONE’S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream
4 eggs
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen blueberries, thawed, drained and divided
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
HEAT oven to 325°F. Mix wafer crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottom of 13×9-inch pan. Bake 10 min.
BEAT cream cheese, remaining sugar and flour in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Stir in dry pudding mix until well blended. Gently stir in 1 cup berries.
BAKE 1 hour or until almost set. (Center will still be jiggly.) Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Crush remaining berries. Top cheesecake with COOL WHIP and crushed berries just before serving.
EAT- it doesn’t rhyme with bake but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
