Baked Crab Rangoon

15 won ton wrappers

1 (8 ounce) package vegetable cream cheese, softened

1 (3.53 ounce) pouch crab, drained

1/4 cup sweet and sour sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly coat won ton wrappers with cooking spray.  Press won ton wrappers into mini muffin cups.  In small bowl, combine cream cheese and crab.  Mix well.  Spoon mixture into won ton wrappers.  Top with sweet and sour sauce.  Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

I love to go to a Chinese restaurant and order Crab Rangoon.  This baked version is so easy to make and has all the flavor my local restaurant has, but without the hassle of trying to fold them up and deep fry them.  When I have deep fried them in the past, the filling in some of the Rangoons would spill out, leaving me with empty won ton wrappers.  With this recipe, each one comes out perfect every time!

Jordan has a blog called Gingerlocks' Kitchen.   Even though we were very busy that weekend, Jordan whipped up my new dip recipe in our church's kitchen while I took photos.  We had so much fun!  I can't wait to spend more time in the kitchen with Jordan!

Lemon Heaven Dessert

Lemon Heaven Dessert

1 (20 ounce) can lemon pie filling
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pre-made angel food cake, cut into cubes

In large bowl, combine pie filling and cream cheese.  Mix well using an electric mixer.  Add confectioners' sugar and lemon juice.  Mix well.

Gently fold in the angel food cubes.  Refrigerate over night.

Our son Tyler's girlfriend Jordan, shared this recipe with me.  

Jordan is a fellow foodie, and Tyler loves her cooking, so I knew it had to be good.  

With just my husband Stan and I at home now, I typically wait for a potluck at church or some other event to make desserts.  Lucky for you and I, we had a potluck on Sunday.  I took both of the dessert recipes that, Jordan gave me.  

The people at our church have been taste testing my recipes for years, and they know I value honest criticism.  When my pans are empty at the end of a potluck, and people are asking for the recipe, I know I have a winner.  That is what happened on Sunday. 

Thanks Jordan, for sharing your delicious recipes!
