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!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! ...
