Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad

I got this recipe a couple years ago from a work potluck. This is seriously healthy, with all of the sugar-free and light ingredients.  Another great summer recipe.

16 oz plain lowfat yogurt
8 oz lite cool whip (thawed)
1 large box sugar/fat free instant vanilla pudding
1 large can mandarin oranges in juice (drained)
1 regular can pineapple tidbits in juice (drained)
1 cup to 1 1/2 cups grapes

Mix yogurt, cool wihp, and pudding together. Mix in fruit and chill.

Ejoy!

I got this recipe from Jeremy's aunt Kim a couple years ago. It's a delicious summer recipe.

1 head cauliflower
Real bacon pieces (as much as you want)
1/2 cup shredded chedar cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
1 cup Miracle whip
1 cup sour cream

Mix sour cream, mayo, and sugar in a bowl

Cut broccoli and cauliflower into bite sized pieces.  Add bacon pieces, onion, and cheese in large bowl.  Add mayo, sour cream, and sugar mixture and stir together.

Enjoy!

Cinnamon Honey Butter

This is a great recipe for a food gift, or just to have on hand.  I halved the recipe because I wanted to check it out, but you can make more if you're going to share!

I found this recipe at Fly Through Our Window.  If you have a chance, check out her blog. She has lovely photographs.  It makes me want to live at the Gulf Coast!

Here is the recipe:

2 sticks of butter at room temp
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 cup of honey
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon

Using the whisk attachment for your mixer, whip the butter {make sure it’s soft and room temp}. Add to it the powdered sugar, then the honey, then the cinnamon. Whip it good. Scrape the sides. Whip it again.

Serve! Darby's recipe recommended you spoon into 4 on jars you can find at
Wal-Mart.  This recipe makes 6 of those jars.  Seriously, check our her blog, the recipe is towards the bottom of the post I linked.  The pictures she had for this recipe are great!
