More recipes from our Friday night get-together . . .

Again, sorry!! Here are a couple more of my friends' and family's favorite recipes!

Salsa Dip
2 8oz. cream cheese
Approximately 1.5 cups Pace Picante Medium Salsa (Or to taste!)
2 tsp. Garlic Salt/Powder (Or to taste!)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Tortilla Chips

Mix cream cheese and salsa. Add salt and shredded cheese. Please adjust any of the amounts to taste! I don't actually measure when I make it. Serve with tortilla chips.
I used to make this, use a little less salsa, and then spread it on tortilla shells. Then you cut up the shells for bite-sized appetizers. Needless to say, that took a lot of time. One time I had some extra filling left and my family just started eating it with tortilla chips. It was just as good - and much, much easier!!

Hot Pizza Dip
1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Mozzarella cheese
¾ cups (3 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
Sliced baguette bread, fresh vegetable dippers or Sea Salt Bagel Crisps.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese and seasoning using the Mix ‘N Scraper. Spread into the bottom of the Mini Baker.
If not already done, grate the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses using the Rotary Grater. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the cream cheese mixture.
Open the pizza sauce with the Jar Opener or Smooth-Edge Can Opener, if needed. Using the Skinny Scraper, spread the sauce over the cheeses. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with Sea Salt Bagel Crisps in Medium Bamboo Bowl with Small Bamboo Spoon.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
(I found this recipe online last week. I made it for the first time, and my husband loved it!!)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound fresh rhubarb, chopped (I used about 2 cups, that was already chopped and then frozen)
2 pints fresh strawberries (I just used one container that I got at my local grocery store - I sliced them)
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie (I used Pillsbury!)
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons white sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Add strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Toss with sugar and flour and let stand for 30 minutes.
Pour filling into pie crust. Dot top with butter, and cover with top crust. Seal edges of top and bottom crust with water.
Apply yolk to top of pie, using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with sugar. Cut small holes in top to let steam escape.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and brown. Cool on rack.

My attempts at photo editing sites ...

Hey there blog readers! I know, I know, I was supposed to be posting more regularly ... I'm sorry. But my garage sale is done, so that means I should have more time to post, right? The reason I am posting today is for that Nebraska Learns class I talked about at the beginning of the month. Nothing like procrastinating - today is the last day I can complete it! ;) I am actually really enjoying this first "assignment." Our assignment was to play with photo editing sites. For my scrapbooking friends out there, I'm thinking this could do wonders for your already wonderful pages! As I was working on my second picture, I had an idea. There are many pictures - like that particular one - that I'd like to include in my scrapbook, but can't make myself create a whole page for a picture of a flower ... but can you imagine putting this photo of the flower on it? I can. How much cooler would that make the page? I could talk about where I was and why I took the pictu...

Happy May Day! Pampered Chef style!

   Today - May 1 - marks the beginning of two important things; both in Close to My Heart and The Pampered Chef.    I will make two separate posts so as not to confuse or undermine the importance for each company. Today's post will focus on The Pampered Chef. Check tomorrow or Monday to find out what's so special about May for Close to My Heart.    For The Pampered Chef, May 1 marks the 11th year of our Help With Cancer campaign. Since 2000, The Pampered Chef has donated more than $7.9 million dollars to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer education and early detection programs!    Just for the month of May, The Pampered Chef has five exclusive pink products available for purchase. For each item purchased, The Pampered Chef will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society.
