Frozen Orange Cream



We just celebrated Memorial Day!

My boy cherub played in a baseball tournament close to home.

My girl cherub read a 636 page book.

My mom came for a visit.

We had dinner with my brother's family . . .

and we worked around the house!

I did laundry until I could do no more!
My boy cherub and the Mr. had borrowed a power washer . . .

the testosterone is still high around here!
That thing provided hours of fun for them and they are thinking of more things to clean!

On Monday evening, we sat down to dinner on the patio.

We grilled pork chops and corn on the cob

and I made the Mr.'s favorite potato salad.

For dessert, I made this easy and cool dessert.

I didn't make it up --

I just used the recipe from Kraft!

Over our dessert, we contemplated all of the different flavors that could be used!

I think the next time I make this, I'll do a lime freeze!

Frozen Orange Cream
 
2 cups  orange sherbet, softened*
1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated)
1/2 cup orange juice*
1 container (8 oz) cool whip, thawed
 
LINE 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil and spray with Pam. Spread softened sherbet onto bottom of prepared pan to form even layer.  Honestly, I guessed at the sherbet.  One can never have too much sherbet . . .unless, of course, the rest of the ingredients don't fit in the pan! 
 
Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually add condensed milk and juice, beating until blended. Whisk in COOL WHIP; spread over sherbet in pan.
 
 
FREEZE 3 hours, or until solid. To unmold, invert pan onto plate; remove foil.    
 
Allow to sit on the counter for a few minutes before slicing the dessert.  Once sliced, I returned the dessert to the freezer to remain frozen until ready to serve.      
 
*Substitute lime sherbet, lime juice (or frozen limeade), and some lime zest for a new flavor.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
