No Bake Berry Icebox Cake


Delicious, easy Patriotic desert.

No Bake Berry Icebox Cake

Ingredients:
19 oz graham crackers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 pkgs Vanilla Instant Pudding
2-1/2 cups cold milk
12 oz Cool whip
3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 oz white chocolate chips

Directions:
Beat cream cheese and dry pudding mixes in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually beat in milk.
Gently stir in Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream, reserving ½ cup.
Spread a thin layer of cool whip in a 9x13 pan just to coat the bottom.
Layer 5 graham crackers across the center of the pan, then 2 more, breaking them as needed to fit around the top and bottom edges.
Spread a layer of pudding mixture over grahams and top with a layer of blueberries and sliced strawberries.
Place graham crackers on top of berries, then pudding mixture, then layer of berries again.
Repeat the graham-pudding-berries layers 1 more time (3 times total) and you should reach the top of the pan.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the graham crackers have softened completely.
When ready to serve, melt white chocolate chips in a bowl as directed on package and drizzle over dessert.
You can use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the berries or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy "piping bag."

Egg Roll Stir-Fry


All yummy flavors of Egg Rolls in one dish without a shred of guilt of the fried wrapper.

Egg Roll Stir-Fry

Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork or beef
6 green onion,
1 small head of cabbage
3 carrots
4-5 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions:
Cook and crumble ground meat with onions in a very large skillet until meat is cooked through. Do not drain. You’ll need to select a skillet large enough to contain all the cabbage – divide everything evenly into two skillets if necessary.
While meat and onions are cooking cut cabbage into thin shreds; set aside. I cut mine in half lengthwise, set the cut side flat on the cutting board then thinly sliced the cabbage into strips.
Peel carrots with a vegetable peeler then either dice small or use the peeler to shave off thin slices; set aside.
Combine garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame oil, vegetable oil and soy sauce in a small bowl and stir to combine; set aside.
Add cabbage and carrots to ground meat then cook and stir over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture then stir well.
Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
