I haven’t totally decided what to do with this Recipe Swap Sunday. I would love to do it every week since I adore food that much. But I think we’ll just see how it goes. It may just be me sharing my recipes until word gets out and more people decide to participate. If you want to share something this week, just leave a comment with the recipe or, if you publish the post on your blog, leave a link. If you have a request or are looking for something specific, comment on that too. I’ll see what I can do!

My collection of recipes comes from several sources: friends, family, books, magazines (I subscribe to Cooking Light, but can rarely resist Intermezzo.), Food Network, the backs of boxes … just about everywhere! My favorite online sources are www.foodtv.com and www.recipezaar.com, but I also follow a few food blogs which are now listed in the sidebar. (Did you notice the new organization over there? I’ve separated my links by category: book blogs, food blogs, etc. Cool – huh?) And then some of my recipes are really my recipes.

This recipe, while not really mine, is my take on a familiar favorite. I took a little from my mother-in-law and a little from Paula Deen and ended up with this. It’s always a hit! The presentation doesn’t hurt either (although the color in this photo is a little off).

Fruit Pizza

 Ingredients:

• 1 pkg store-bought sugar cookie dough
• 8 oz softened cream cheese
• 1 c powdered sugar
• ¾ c white chocolate chips
• 2 T orange juice
• Fresh fruit, sliced – Anything you like – peaches, pears, apples, kiwi, bananas, plums … whatever strikes your fancy
• Fresh berries – any kind!

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350’. Flatten cookie dough into a 12” circle. Bake until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Cool.
2. In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar. Spread over the cooled cookie. Decorate with sliced fruit. Top with berries.
3. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds so as not to burn. Stir in orange juice and mix until smooth. Drizzle over the fruit. ENJOY!
