Dump Fruit Salad by mommakate
THESE ARE APPROXIMATE Quantities.....
1 Can Mandarin Oranges - drained
1 Can Chunks of Pineapple - drained
1 Kid box of raisins (about 1/4 cup)
1 Apple - peeled and dices
1 Large handful of Mini Marshmellows -
1 Container of Non-fat Vanilla Yogurt
1/2 a container of non-fat Cool Whip or other topping (I use store brand and it
works fine)
DUMP all ingredients into a bowl and still.
You could use fresh grapes vice raisins but I prefer the variety in textures.
Use mroe Marshmelloes if you -- like my kids are purists and don't like "gooed
mellows" and pick them out anyway!
I garnish with Cherries and Coconut. As my kids are little I do NOT put the coconut
in the salad itself - my DD chokes on it wihtout molars to grind it, my DS also seems
to be "sentitive" to it - doesn't agree with his tummy.
Its light and not your "regular" fruit salad. Great for winter use too when fresh fruit
is not alwys available at decent prices.

Baked Pineapple for the Holidays by BethMLovesJesus
This goes wonderfully with ham! This dish is sooo easy, why Cheryl, I think you can do it!!!
2 cans pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 stack pack of Ritz crackers
1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)
Combine sugar and flour. Mix well with drained pineapple. Pour mixture into a well-buttered baking dish. (I use either an 8x8 or a 9x9. To go to a large casserole dish, double the recipe.) Crush crackers well and mix with melted margarine. Spread buttered cracker mix evenly over pineapple mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Comment by Hadley: I add cheese on top of the pineapple then add the crushed crackers. Yummy!

2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 c. chopped greep pepper, thinly sliced
1 c (4 oz) shredded chedder, swiss, or jack cheese
salt and pepper
4-5 pitas
1 to 1 1/2 cups creamy style salad dressing (green goddess, thousand island)
Combine all vegetables with cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refigerate. To serve, add dressing and salt and pepper and mix, fill pocket pitas and enjoy!
(salt and dressing will make your lettuce wilt, that is why you don't want to add it, until you serve)

Easy Pasta Salad by Paula TN
16 oz. spiral pasta (I use the veggie pasta, the ones with green, orange colors...sorry I don't know the name of it) You could probably use any type of firm pasta, like elbow, penne, bowtie, etc.
16 oz. broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix frozen vegetables
1 large bottle of Ranch Dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Boil the pasta and the veggies together in a large pot. You could do them separate, but it's easier to do them together. Drain thoroughly. Add dressing until well coated and toss around a bit. Very Yummy. I'd save some of the dressing to add for leftovers because it tends to dry out a little while in the fridge.
My family loves this and you could use Light dressing to make it a low cal recipe.
