Since we love to eat at our meetings I am going to start posting our menus and some of our recipes. My aunt suggested this, and I think it is a great idea. I am hoping this may tempt more foodies to attend our meetings?! At the January meeting we had a Luau/Picnic theme. We ate hot dogs, hawaiian rice salad, fresh pineapple and strawberries with an amazing cream dip, hawaiian potato chips, fresh sauerkraut,macadamia nuts, and lemonade. For dessert we had pineapple upside-down cake. Everything was fabulous, as always, and there was more than enough food for a few extra mouths, as always.
The recipe I am posting here is a club favorite that Jennifer has brought many times. It is Berry Jello Pretzel Salad. Yummy!
3 Layer Pretzel Salad
2 cups broken pretzels (about the size of peanuts)
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 teaspoons sugar.
Mix together. Put in 9X12 glass pan. Pat down to make a single layer.Bake at 400 F. eight minutes. Don't overbake. Cool.
One 8 oz. package cream cheese (no/low fat), room temperature.
1 cup sugar
One 8 to 12 ounce package Cool Whip, frozen (I used 12 oz, but I didn't find low fat)
Mix cream cheese and sugar together, then add chunks of slightly thawed Cool Whip. Keep mixing until smooth. Pour over cooled pretzels (be sure to get Cool Whip to touch sides of pan, to seal pretzel layer below).
One large, or two small packages of Jello (to compliment type of berry chosen) (sugar free)2 cups boiling water (in a 4 cup, or larger container) (that pours!)Two 10 ounce packages frozen berries (any kind).
Mix Jello into 2 cups boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Let stand 10 minutes. Spread berries over Cool Whip in a single layer. Drizzle Jello over frozen berries.Chill until serving time. Enjoy!
