Bacon Egg and Cheese Wreath
1 package crescent rolls
8 pieces cooked bacon
6-8 scrambled eggs
grated cheese
Unroll crescent rolls and place wide ends together in a circle, slightly overlapping each other. Lay a piece of bacon down each triangle. Put scrambled eggs around the circle made with rolls. Top with cheese. Bring the ends of the triangle back to the center of the circle. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
5 Minute Fruit Salad
Ingredients
You will need;
Orange Juice approx 2 cups – to taste and sauce thickness desired. (any style you like works, pulp or none)
Sour Cream 16 oz.
Jello Instant Pudding in Vanilla, 5.1 oz box
Optional – You can use low sugar juice, non-fat sour cream and sugar free pudding.)
Canned Peaches 2 (chunk)
Canned Pears 2 (chunk)
Canned Mandarin Oranges 2 (I usually add 3 though)
Canned Pineapple (tidbits or chunk)
2 Fresh Bananas (not shown because I forgot to buy them)
To Make
Open all fruit and place in colander. (If you are wary of sugar, you can also rinse)
Let drain well.
While fruit is draining, combine your OJ and Pudding mix, blend till creamy.(fast tip: if you have a large mixing cup, pour in your pudding mix and fill with OJ to the 3 cup mark. It’s perfect!)
Add OJ and Pudding mix to Sour Cream in large bowl. Mix.
Gently fold fruit into sauce mix.
Cover and refrigerate.
*If desired, slice Bananas into the fruit salad right before serving and fold in.
Serves 15-20
Fast and Easy: all season fruit salad dessert recipe
I like to make mine ahead of time so the fruit can suck up all the saucy goodness. You can top with whipped cream or cool whip if you like
Ranch Pasta
Ranch Pasta Salad
1 cup Greek yogurt (fat free is great!)
1/4 cup Miracle Whip (fat free/reduced fat is great!)
1 packet (+ additional depending on your taste) ranch dressing mix
1 lb pasta, cooked
2 large carrots
1 1/2 cups broccoli
1 cup ham
1 cup cheese
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 red bell pepper
Combine the Greek yogurt, miracle whip and ranch dressing mix. Set aside.
Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water, drizzle with a bit of canola oil so it doesn't stick.
Chop the veggies, ham (sometimes I use cooked bacon pieces) and cheese into bite sized pieces. Combine with the pasta and 3/4 of the dressing mix. Stir well, add additional dressing if it is too dry.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

The Best Party Punch
1 can frozen piƱa colada concentrate, thawed
1 can frozen orange pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
4 liters of diet lemon-lime soda
1 bag of pebble ice
1 bag of frozen raspberries
Directions:
Pour the thawed concentrates into your punchbowl and stir.
Use one of the empty cans and fill it with water four times and add it to the mixture. Stir.
Add your diet soda to the mixture. (You can use regular sugar-filled soda if you want, but I think it gets too sweet and you will also feel guilty when you fill your glass for the sixteenth time. Which you WILL.)
Next, add about half your bag of pebble ice.
(NOTE: Please do not screw up the order and add the ice before the soda. You will get an ugly foam at the top of your punch bowl.)
Add your frozen raspberries to the top.
Congratulations! You have just created the Mona Lisa of Punch!
Your punch should be a lovely dark yellow at the bottom of your punch bowl, light lemony yellow in middle, almost white on the top, and then bright magenta on the very, very top! So pretty!
And then, when you start serving the punch with a ladle, it all mixes together and becomes this dreamy pink color. And then, when you lift the punch bowl to your lips when it is almost gone to swallow the last few drops of punch, it is an even darker pink because the raspberries have really mixed in.
