OLD FRUIT NEVER DIES, IT JUST GOES DOWN A DIFFERENT ROAD




Thought we would share a few nifty kitchen tips this week. Here's the first of many.

A GREAT TIP FOR OLD FRUIT:

Instead of throwing away fruit when it gets a little too ripe (and your family turns it's collective nose up at it) try this. Cut off all the bad spots and peel the fruit. Use it to top ice-cream, or to bake breads, or best of all, to make an old-fashioned cobbler with.

HOWEVER... If none of these ideas thrill you, here's a really inventive one: again you cut and clean the fruit. Drop chunks into a large covered jar with a half bottle of brandy in it. (I don't drink but you get the picture). Let the mixture set, adding fruit whenever you have it. Soon, in a couple of months, you have a great dessert topping and a crowd pleaser for your next "adult" party. At least that's what I've been told. Most can't remember eating it. :)

HAPPY SAVING!

BUBBLE PIZZA

Everybody knows that pizza is a health food, right. Well it is, and we're going to share today one of our favorite, easy-to-prepare pizza delights. It's called Bubble Pizza because when you cook it that is exactly what it does... it bubbles up and invites you to a fun night of eating. **Of course pizza is a great breakfast food too, but then everyone knows that, right?

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 tubes of biscuits (we like the grands type as they are larger)
1 16 ounce jar of pizza sauce
assorted pizza toppings such as pepperoni, ham, chicken, pineapple, mushrooms, chopped onions peppers etc.

PREPARATION:

Mix all of these tasty ingredients in a large bowl until the sauce covers and coats everything. Toss it all into a 9x13 greased cake pan or casserole oblong dish. (Not sure if the pizza knows the shape of the pan... never have figured that one out.) Cover your concoction with mozzarella cheese (shredded) and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes or until it is hot and the biscuits have browned slightly. Serve with Parmesan cheese. Break out the napkins and enjoy the bubbles!

Have you ever wanted to create the kind of fun-to-eat pizzas you spend way too much money for at the pizza shop right in your own home? You can. Click on the link below and learn how to do it quick and easy.

Happy eating
