Open house recipes and recap

Hi everyone! Just finished my one-day open house yesterday and, Whew! What a whirlwind! Glad to see so many people come out to see me in my home. We had many tasty things set out showcasing some of Longaberger's new food items so I thought I would share a recipe or two!

Fruit Pizza:

2 rolls of refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 packet Longaberger White Chocolate Amaretto Mix

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

8oz. whipped toppping

Toppings: Strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, almond slivers

Preheat over to 350. Slightly grease the bottom of a Woven Traditions Handled Platter. Spread the cookie dough evenly on the center of the platter, covering the entire bottom (not the sides). Bake 15-20 minutes or until cookie is slightly browned. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and White Chocolate Amaretto Mix with a mixer until well combined. Add whipped topping and mix well. Spread mixture on top of cooled cookie. Top with a variety of fruit. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. (Recipe submitted by my friend Wendy Smallwood).

Sorry about bites missing! Apparently it was great!

And another recipe, not Longaberger, but a favorite for sure.

Mexican Caviar (Avacado salsa):

2 (15oz) cans black beans, rinsed, drained

2 (11oz) cans Mexicorn (canned vegetable aisle)

3 tomatoes, seeded, chopped

4 avacados, seeded, chopped

1 large red onion, chopped

6 scallions, chopped

1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil

1/4 cup white vinegar
2 envelopes, Italian salad dressing mix (dry mix)

Combine black beans, mexicorn, tomatoes, avacados, red onion, and scallions in large bowl and mix well. Mix the oil, vinegar, and salad dressing mix in a small bowl. Pour over the black bean mixture and toss to coat. Serve with torilla chips. Serves 20-24, can be stored in frig for up to 4 days. Can be easily halved for smaller gatherings...thanks to my friends Sam, Jeni and Mickie for sharing. Yumo!!!

This also went really fast, but we managed to snap a close-up before it was all gone.

I hope you all are doing wonderfully, I am busy running around after a week at the beach in NC. Glad to be back though! Before I run, I wanted to share a picture that a friend/customer and hostess sent from her Back Porch, her summer harvest.. Thanks Nancy Keller from Middletown, MD!

I'm headed off to the Bee

Hi everyone, I leave for the Bee today in Columbus, Ohio. It is sure to be an exciting time and I hope to see some of you there! But before I leave I thought, "How about a Longaberger Lemonade stand?" Perfect for those hot summer days!

Enjoy, talk with you all soon.

Following This Blog.

Hi everyone, Taylor again, I have some information that may make following this blog a bit easier! I have been trying to figure out how those who read this could receive emails when new posts go up and I believe I've got it. This is just so you don't always have to check back everyday to see if a new post has gone up. Let me know if it works (or doesn't) in the comments section.

Go down to the very bottom of the page and click the "Subscribe to posts" link. On the page that appears click on the "Subscribe in mail" link that appears on the right hand side of the page. That should do it. If not, again, let me know and I'll fix the information provided above!
