Graham Cracker Fluff

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 pkg. gelatin
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 egg whites (beaten)
  • 1 tsp. real vanilla
  • 1 cup cream (whipped)
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 12 graham crackers (crushed)
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar

Directions

Cook egg yolks, milk and sugar together in double boiler until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Dissolve gelatin in cold water, then add to hot mixture. Cool until it starts to thicken. Fold beaten egg whites, vanilla and whipped cream all together with above mixture gently. Put in serving bowl.

Mix together butter, crushed graham crackers and sugar; sprinkle over top; chill. (2 recipes fit in a 9x13 pan; 3 recipes fit a 10x14 pan for a crowd. I usually put part of the graham cracker mix in bottom of pan. Dream Whip is okay for cream.)

Quick and Easy Supper Ideas!

3 Quick Easy Meals For Hot Days...

Pizza

  • Buy pizza dough frozen and defrost.
  • Spread with spaghetti sauce jar or canned
  • Add meat and cheese of your choice and cook according to pizza dough instructions (Any pizza instructions)

Quick Pizza

  • English muffins
  • Spaghetti Sauce
  • Grated Cheese

OPTIONAL: peppers, cooked ground meat of any kind, whole onion rings broil on a cookie sheet until bubbly and eat quickly to totally enjoy. So fast you won't notice an increase in heat in your kitchen I am guessing. :)

Teriyaki Beef Kabobs

Take bite sized pieces of beef and soak them in teriyaki sauce overnight. Put pieces beef on skewers with peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, and anything else you just love. BBQ, cook over range grill, turning every 2 minutes, OR broil turning after first 3 minutes.

Serve any of the above recipes with fresh greens, cooked green beans, or mung sprouts. If you are making kabobs, serve them with tiny little biscuits you can bake fresh using Bisquick. Make them tiny so they cook really, really fast in the oven.
