Danish Dessert


Danish Dessert



This is a Brown family recipe served on special occasions.  I wanted to make it for Alyvia's baby blessing and I sent David to get some danish dessert mixes at the grocery store.  He searched for 3 hours and could not find any.  This is when we realized that they don't sell danish dessert mixes on the east coast!  Now I buy them online and always have atleast 2 in my pantry for special occasions.  This dish is a great one to make ahead of time as it tastes better and is more firm after spending a day in the refrigerator. 



Cookie Like Crust

2/3 C Soft Butter

1 Egg

(Mix together, then add to 1 yellow cake mix and combine)

Press dough into the bottom of a greased 9x12 pan or baking dish, forming a crust.  Don't press too hard or the crust will be hard.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 min

Set aside to cool


Cream Cheese Layer

8 oz Softened Cream Cheese

1 C. Powdered Sugar

2 Pkg. Dream Whip (made according to package)

(Combine all ingredients.  Put in a sealed container and chill in the fridge)


Danish Dessert Layer

2 pkgs of Danish Dessert (made according to box, the pie filling directions.  Set aside to cool)

2 pkgs fresh strawberries or similar amount of fresh raspberries washed and completely dried, then sliced. (If they are wet, they can make the filling have too much liquid)

After Danish filling has cooled, fold in sliced strawberries.  Should be a thick texture. Cover and put in refrigerator until completely cooled. 


Make the Danish Dessert

Put cream cheese mixture into cooled danish dessert crust.  fill 1/2-3/4 full.  Then, dump on the strawberry mixture, filling the dish to the top.  Cover with Saran wrap and chill in fridge until ready to serve.  Serve Cold.

Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Image
 I love Mexican food.  I'm pretty sure if I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life it would be Mexican.  These tacos were born from necessity and my love of tacos.  My family has downsized from 6 people to 4 people as my oldest children have moved out to go to college. When I make a whole Costco Salmon, I now have enough leftovers for another meal!  Not wanting this delicious salmon to go to waste, I incorporated it into tacos the next day and everyone absolutely loved them!   Photo credit: https://www.eatyourselfskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cilantro-lime-tacos-2.jpg Here are the ingredients for the tacos: Lemon pepper dill salmon - I make this the day before for a meal and then use the leftovers for these tacos.  Flake and fry the salmon in a frying pan on medium heat until it gets a little crispy.  You don't need to add oil because the salmon has a lot of natural oil in it.  You're just warming up the salmon,...

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

My family's favorite bread recipe!  It is so delicious, when it is cooking, the smell spreads through the house calling everyone to the kitchen.  The best part is that it's super easy to make!  That is why I put it in this blog.  Only favorite recipes are allowed in this blog, and part of being a favorite is that it isn't so painful to make again and again.  My friend Mina gave me this recipe and made it with me to show me how it's done.  I will forever be grateful for her.  She is an amazing cook and friend.   Rosemary Focaccia Bread First, Grab a large mixing bowl.  Then turn your tap on to the hottest setting and let the water get as hot it can.  Put 2 cups of hot tap water into the bowl.   Dissolve 2 Tbs. of honey into the warm water.   Add 1 Tbs. of yeast and stir it into the water/honey mixture.  Set it aside.  If you're really interested in watching the yeast grow, you can stare at it, 'cause I'm...

Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

 You can't have too many tacos!  When your main dish can be made into tacos the next day, you do it!  I made my Hawaiian meal with Kalua pork, rice and pineapple slaw and reconfigured it into tacos the next day and everyone loved them! I need to take a better picture, but these had great flavor and might've been better than the original meal.                                             Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw Kalua Pork  - Use the leftovers and fry it in a pan until it gets crispy in places.  There is enough oil in the pork, just heat the pan up and let it crisp. Pineapple Slaw - It tastes great the day after.  I used leftovers from the night before. Corn cut off the cobb- I fried the corn in a pan and added cilantro.  It was amazing! Corn tortillas- I fry them in a little oil on high until slightly browned. Cotija or Feta cheese (...
