Best Lemon Lush Ever

by Rebecca June 6, 2020
written by Rebecca

I am so proud of myself! I just made the perfect Lemon Lush! With the help of the recipe that my friend gave me of course. I feel so good about this recipe that I want to share it with you guys! The good thing about this recipe is that you can always arrange the layers yourself with your preferred ingredients. Yes, you do not necessarily need to follow all the ingredients because some of you might be allergic to nuts for example. So, instead of Pecans, you substitute crushed Oreos, toasted coconut, graham crust, chocolate curls, and the list goes on. It depends on your personal taste. We need to be creative, right? Anyway, enjoy this recipe!

Ingredients

1 stick butter – melted

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cup pecans – chopped (reserve 3/4 cup for topping)

1 16 oz. container Cool Whip

8 oz. cream cheese – softened

1 cup of sugar

2 boxes Lemon Instant Pudding – regular size (made to directions and refrigerated)

How to make Lemon Lush

Step 1: In a 9×13 glass dish, arrange 4 layers.

Layer number 1: Combine 3/4 cups of pecans, butter, and flour in a glass dish. Whisk until well-mixed and apply pressure to stick it on the bottom part of the glass dish. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees until the color turns light brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Layer number 2: In a small glass bowl, combine 1 cup of Cool Whip, sugar, and cheese. Stir until well-blended. Distribute the mixture on top of the first layer.

Layer number 3: Refer to the instructions provided on the package of the lemon pudding to prepare. When you have done, spread the pudding on top of the second layer.

Layer number 4: Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the third layer and garnish with the rest of the pecans.

Step 2: Cover the bowl and put inside the fridge to cool overnight.

Step 3: Serve and enjoy!

PINEAPPLE COCONUT SNOWBALLS

by Rebecca June 6, 2020
written by Rebecca

What a nice and cold treat to eat on a sunny day. I recently learned about this recipe. My friend introduced me to this heavenly like dessert. I am not a huge fan of pineapples nor coconuts but this made me changed my appetite towards these two fruits. I never thought that the two fruits I despise the most would become my favorite. This recipe helped a lot in changing my mind. It’s kind of weird because the only additional recipe that was included was cream cheese! But the combination of the tastes of coconut and pineapple made perfect sense. It is a dessert that you will not get tired of eating. I mean, aside from the flavors, it’s also nice and cold so it kind of feels like you are eating ice cream. Yesterday was hot so of course, I made these cute little snowballs to somehow ease the heat. My kids and I sat down on our porch while eating this and just bonded. It was the best day and thanks to this amazing treat, it became perfect! I really hope you get to try this. You are in for a treat! You will not be disappointed, I assure you that!

Have you ever heard of the Keto diet? I gained weight this past few months so I’m trying to get in shape. I’m very much into Keto more than you know. My menu follows that of Keto and one of my favorites is this Low Carb Chicken and Broccoli Cheesy Casserole. It’s cheesy, it’s healthy, delicious, and so easy to make. This dish is for all the keto-dreamy out there!

INGREDIENTS

3 cups cubed chicken

16 oz (1lb) bag of frozen broccoli

1 medium onion diced (about 1 cup)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cube chicken bouillon (or 1 tsp bouillon powder)

1/2 cup water (optional, I added this to help disperse the chicken flavoring but the water from the veggies as they cook also would suffice if the dish seems too watery to you)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)

1/4 cup sour cream

1 cup ricotta

Bacon Grease

Step 7: Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

I love how artistic this dish is. I mean, look at those pretty looking dips. Your mouth will surely water just by looking at it. I am so glad that I have stumbled upon this amazing recipe. The internet paid out! In this recipe, you can use turkey instead of beef but I prefer beef because it is always present in our fridge. My friend tried the turkey and she said it was as good as the beef so there you go! Either one works perfectly well with this dish. By the way, aside from the beef and cheese, it also has bacon in it. Just think about all the flavors happening at the same time! Man, it’s the best! Try this today. I know you’re gonna love it!
