On a happier note than my two previous posts i thought i would share a recipe. With spring just around the corner, i thought it would be appropriate to share a recipe that screams spring. The recipe is a "fruit pizza". It is super easy to make and super delicious at the same time. My family always brings it to group events because it can feed a lot of people for desert or even breakfast.

Ingredients:
1 package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 package of cream cheese
1 container of frozen whipped topping (thawed)
2 cups of sliced strawberries
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/4 cup of water
2 bananas
3 kiwis
1 small box of blueberries
lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Slice cookie dough and arrange on greased pizza pan, overlapping edges. Press dough flat into pan. 3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
4. Cool for 10 mins 5. In a large bowl, soften cream cheese, then fold in the whipped topping.
6. Spread evenly all over the cooled crust.
7. Chill or arrange the fruit.8. Slice strawberries in half, along with slicing bananas and putting lemon juice on them so they do not brown
9. Arrange strawberries in a circle around the outside edge. Continue with other suggested fruit of your choice, working towards the middle. 10. In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, corn starch, orange juice, and water. Cook and stir over medium heat.
11. boil for 1 or 2 minutes
12. Remove from heat
13. Allow to cool but don't let it set completely
14. Spread the mixture evenly over fruit.
15. Chill for a few hours, then cut into wedges and serve.
This can feed up to 16 people and takes approximentaly 45 minutes to make it in total. The most fun part in my opinion is that you can choose the shape that you want to place your fruit in! Sometimes you can make it festive. For Christmas you can place the fruit in the shape of a tree or at spring you can make a flower. For someones birthday you can put it in their first initial or something fun like that!
