1/4 c. Shortening
1/2 c. Sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
3/4 c. Flour
1/2 pkg Danish Dessert (see below for instructions on how to prepare)

1/2 tsp. Salt

Mix shortening, sugar egg, and vanilla. Blend with mixer then add flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and chill in freezer for 10-15 min. Press into sprayed pizza pan. Crust will be very thin. Roll or curl up edges to prevent edges from burning. Bake at 375 for 6-12 minutes.

Mix sugar and cream cheese with mixer and spread over cooled crust. Spread prepared Danish Dessert over cream and top with fruit.

Fruit Ideas:
Pineapple cut in thin pieces
Peaches-diced
Strawberries
Bananas
Canned Mandarin Oranges
Kiwi

Blueberries


To prepare danish dessert: Pour 1/2 package into a small saucepan and add 1 1/4 cups of cold water. Bring to boil and boil on high for 1 min. Take away from heat and let cool.

Easy Yummy Nachos

1 bag nacho cheese doritos - or any other chips, these are just my favorite
salsa
grated cheddar cheese
refried beans

Sorry, no measurements here, have always done this by whatever looked good. If you come up with good measurements be sure to add them!

1. Mix together salsa and refried means.
2. Layer chips, glop on mixture, and sprinkle cheese. Repeat one more time.
3. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes till cheese is melted.

I serve with tacos.
