Free Rice

I just came across this site. Don't know how much it will actually help to end world hunger, but it can certainly help visitors/players to improve their vocabulary.

Super Delicious and Easy Dessert Dip

Thank Kraft Foods for this recipe. It's a favorite in our household.

1 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, softened
1 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream

Mix ingredients until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is wonderful with fresh fruit such as apples, bananas, melon, or pineapple.

Just in time for the holidays - Cranberry Orange Relish

This recipe is so good and so easy.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE Relish
1 orange (I use the navel oranges - no seeds)
1 lb. (4 cups cranberries)
1 3/4 cups sugar

I just throw the cut up orange into my food processor. Then add the cranberries.Process until the orange and cranberries are fine. Then add the orange and cranberry mixture to the sugar.Stir until well blended. I like mine a little sweeter so use rounded measures of sugar.

Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. I freeze mine because you can't find it ready made this way. Ocean Spray used to make it, but no one carries it except somewhere on the internet. It's cheaper and quicker to just make it yourself. I make enough to last until the next cranberry season.
