Pear Salad {Granny's Recipe}

Pear Salad  is   a vintage recipe going way back.  Pears are filled with mayonnaise and freshly grated cheddar cheese, then topped with a cherry. This recipe is a childhood favorite of mine. My mother would always make Pear Salad with canned pear halves, as none the difference from fresh pears.

Oreo Truffles

Oreo truffles, cookie crumbs blended with cream cheese and covered with a chocolate candy coating for the best-tasting truffles. These Oreo Truffles were a great addition to the  Red Velvet and Coconut Cream Cake Balls I served recently at a reception. Over at  Bakerella's blog post, she says it best "Oreo Truffles made with, you guessed it… Oreo cookies. They are super easy to make and even easier to eat. Oreo cookies are crushed blended with cream cheese and then covered in white chocolate".

Red Velvet and Coconut Cream Cake Balls

Red Velvet and Coconut Cream Cake Balls are made using your favorite flavor of cake mix and coatings, you have a people-pleasing treat! I was looking for a real eye-catching dessert for a reception I was helping my sister give, and remembered that I had seen a recipe for Cake Balls , but I never printed it. After looking up cake balls on the Internet, I found out just how much these little jewels are popular. The Dallas News had a wonderful article and tips on how to make cake balls, but all time queen of cake balls is over at Bakerella .
