Wedding Recipes

Several people have requested these recipes from DD#1's wedding reception. They are easy - easy!

Italian Cream Cheese
1 brick cream cheese (low fat works fine)
1 package Good Seasons salad dressing mix (dry)

Pour dry salad dressing mix onto a plate and spread it out in a thin layer. Unwrap the cream cheese and roll it in the dressing mix covered completely with the mix.
Place on a clean plate and serve with crackers.


Blueberry Punch (makes 1/2 gallon)

1 envelope of Kool-Aid - Berry Blue
1/2 c sugar
6 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate
Water
Vanilla ice cream

Mix the Kool-Aid, sugar and lemonade concentrate in a 2 quart pitcher. Add water to make 2 quarts. Pour into punch bowl. Add scoops of ice cream if desired.

The original recipe was one my Aunt Betty sent in for DD#1's cookbook. It used raspberry kool-aid and orange juice concentrate. We wanted blue punch for the wedding so we tried this combination and it was a hit!

SLUSH RECIPE

SLUSH RECIPE:
1 large can pineapple juice
2 cups Tang instant drink powder
3 quarts water

Mix all together in a 5 - 6 quart container (the large plastic ice cream buckets work well - I don't think a gallon would be large enough though). Place in freezer. Take out and stir well every hour or so. When slushy serve in cups - kids love it!
If left in the freezer too long it will freeze into a huge popsicle. You can still serve it but scraping - but I hate that so I make the kids (most are in their 20's now) scrap it themselves.
If you have an ice shaver you could also freeze some in the smaller containers and shave it to make a flavored snow cone.
