Pink Pudding

1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
1 (8 serving) box raspberry Jello
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping

In large bowl, combine cottage cheese, dry Jello mix, and pineapple. Mix well.  Add whipped topping. Mix well. Refrigerate until time to serve.

This was the first dish my husband made for me when we were dating.  It is actually a salad, but we eat it for dessert.  You can also make it a diet recipe by replacing the Jello with the sugar free version and the whipped topping for the fat free version.

This recipe was a hit when I tested it on our church Youth Group!  Those kids are great taste testers.  I chopped all of the ingredients needed for this recipe the night before, then in the morning it took less than five minutes to assemble.  Now that is My Kind of Cooking!

My new cookbook is available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!

Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Sandwiches

Slow Cooker Hawaiian BBQ Sandwiches 

4 to 5 pounds beef chuck roast or pork roast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, sliced
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, divided

In large skillet, add oil.  Add roast to skillet, brown all sides over medium high heat.

Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray for easy clean up.  Place the roast in the slow cooker.  Arrange onion and pineapple over roast.

Pour 1 cup of barbecue sauce over top.  Cover with a lid.  Cook on low 6 to 8 hours.

Remove roast to a cutting board or plate.  Using 2 forks, shredded the roast.

Place shredded meat in a large bowl.  Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and pineapple from slow cooker, place it in the bowl with the meat.  Add 1 cup of liquid from the slow cooker.  Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce.  Mix well.

Serve on buns.  Makes 6 to 8 servings.

I love to use my slow cooker all year long.  There is nothing like coming home to the delicious aroma of a homemade meal, ready and waiting for you.

Barbecue sandwiches are one of my favorite meals.  But finding a good one can be difficult.  They either have too much barbecue sauce mixed in with the meat, or it has a dollop of sauce spread on top of dried out meat.  With this recipe, the meat is tender and juicy, and each bite has the perfect amount of barbecue sauce.

On Tuesday, we had a fundraiser at Passion Radio. I made the Hawaiian BBQ sandwiches, and they were a big hit!

Our good friend Bill Scott came in to help with the fundraiser.  Bill is not only an incredible fundraiser, he is also an author.  His new book "The Day Satan Called" is due out in October.  This book is generating a lot of buzz in publishing circles.  Nightline is interested in interviewing Bill, and there may soon be a movie deal.  You can download a free chapter of the book at his Facebook page.

Sweet n' Sour Chicken

Sweet n' Sour Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces Russian salad dressing
8 ounces Apricot preserves
1 packet onion soup mix
1 (10 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained

Cut chicken into bite size pieces and place in greased slow cooker.  In small bowl, combine dressing, preserves, and onion soup mix.  Pour mixture over chicken.  Cover.  Cook on low 3 hours.  Add pineapple to slow cooker. Cook uncovered 1/2 hour. Serve over rice.  Makes 8 servings.

 

This recipe is from my cookbook, MY KIND OF COOKING.  

When this was entered in one of our Slow Cooker Recipe Contests,years ago, it was unanimously chosen as the first place winner.  I love Chinese food, so for me it had an edge over the other dishes entered. Typically, the chicken in, Sweet n' Sour Chicken, is deep fried, and then covered in the Sweet n' Sour sauce.  In this version, the chicken is not deep fried, but it is so full of flavor you will not miss it.

We have two new additions to our family!  Manki and Mine, are two foreign exchange students who attend a local high school.  We first met Manki and Mine, when a girl in our youth group, brought them to church.  

Manki (from Hong Kong), my husband Stan, and Mine (from Bangkok).

When Manki and Mine attended the Christmas party at our house, they told us that they were very unhappy at the home they were staying at, and asked if they could move in with us.  On Sunday, they made the move, and now are part of our family.  We are so happy to have these incredible girls staying with us!

Sweet n' Sour Chicken, was the first dinner I cooked for Manki and Mine.   As it was cooking, the girls said it smelled just like a dish they eat at home.  Apparently they liked the meal, because they went back for seconds.
