Peach Angel Trifle

Glaze:
1 - 6 oz box of peach jello
2 - 3.4 oz boxes of vanilla cook and serve pudding mix
2 ½ cups water

In medium sauce pan on high, add all ingredients and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly!
Remove from heat and let stand until cooled.

2 - 8 oz packages cream cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat)
1 - 12 oz container of cool whip (I use the lite)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 round angel food cake (I make mine from the box, tastes much better than store bought and 1/3 the cost but store bought will work too)
About 7 large ripe peaches

Peel and slice the peaches then cut some of the slices in half. Add some sugar and set in the fridge for about an hour or so. (keep some as a reserve for garnishing)

Cream the sugar and cream cheese. Then add the cool whip and beat until light and fluffy.

Drain about ¾ of the liquid on the peaches from sitting with sugar; pour the glaze over and stir.

Slice angel food cake into 1-2 inch pieces.

Fill a trifle dish or 9 inch deep glass bowl, with layers of the cake, peaches and then the cream cheese mixture.

Garnish with reserved peaches.

Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before serving. Longer is fine. Now enjoy!

Ziploc Omlets



-Have campers write their name on a quart-size
Ziploc freezer bag with a permanent marker.
-Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag
(not more than 2). Shake to combine them.

-Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses,
ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns,
salsa, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms etc.

-Each camper adds prepared ingredients of choice
to their bag and shake
(not too full, or it won’t fully cook).

-Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip
it up.

-Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly
13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a
large pot.
-Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be
prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and enough orange juice to make a glaze (I always use more than 2-3 teaspoons). Drizzle over warm muffins. They taste best if served warm.

1 1/2 cups milk
3 T. Sugar, divided

1/8 t. salt

Cinnamon Pull Aparts

This recipe is a family tradition in my house. We have these for breakfast for every birthday, for brunch for every Thanksgiving and for breakfast every Christmas. They are so yummy.

18 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls (I've tried other brands and they just don't work as well. For those of you who live in Cali the only place I've found that regularly carries this brand is Vons).

1/2 pkg. Butterscotch Cook & Serve pudding (not instant), (this has been hard to find lately, I find it randomly at different stores, they always have instant but its hard to find the cook and serve, so those of you who live in so cal, let me know if you find a good place that carries it. Stater Bro.'s does once and awhile, but I haven't had luck at Vons).

1/2 t. cinnamon (sometimes I just eye ball it)

1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar

1 cube of butter

Place rolls in a greased Bundt Cake Pan. Sprinkle dry pudding mix and cinnamon over frozen rolls. Melt butter with sugar in a sauce pan and stir together. Pour butter/sugar mixture over the top of the frozen rolls. Cover bundt pan with Pam sprayed plastic wrap and let rise overnight (about 8 hrs., I wouldn't let it rise over 10 hours because they get too big and the top tends to burn in the oven, but it depends on the dough. They should rise a little above the bundt pan, but not so much that they fall over the side of the pan.) Take off plastic wrap and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Pull out of the oven and place a large plate on top and invert the bundt pan onto the plate so the rolls fall out on the plate (you might have to separate the rolls from the pan a little bit before you tip it upside down, and of course you'll need to use hot pads during this process.) Now eat! Wish I had a picture to show you how good they look!
