Kaluah Pig *Lauren Perry*

I roomed at BYU with the greatest softball players from Hawaii. We had a BLAST cooking together. I would BEG them to make Hawaiian food, while they BEGGED me to make them pastas and other entrees. Needless to say, my favorite thing they made was Kaluah Pig.

Here is a tweeked version of the goodness-


Ingredients

3-4 lbs of pork butt (you could do a shoulder too)
garlic (LOTS) I probably added like 4 TBS of chopped garlic
2 TBS of Liquid Smoke (its in a bottle by the seasonings)
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of water
black pepper
**1/2 head of shredded cabbage (if desired)**

cook in a crock pot until the pork starts to pull and shred easily
if you love cabbage like me, shred it add it to the pork/crock pot when you have an hour less
serve over rice

Sundried Tomato Chicken *Lauren Perry*

This pasta is super yummy! It does have white wine in it, I used white cooking wine- but I am sure you can substitute something- but the alcohol does cook out of cooking wine- it just has a really rich flavor and it makes the pasta soooo much better to use it.

Banana Bread

The BEST banana bread. Compliments of my best friend Tasha. Every time she makes it ... I tell her I want her recipe.

1/2 cp. shortening
1 cp. Sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cp. banana pulp or 3 ripe bananas
1/2 cp. sourcream
2 cp. Flour
1 tsp. salt

Cream shortening and sugar. Then add eggs, banana pulp, sourcream and mix. Mix dry ingredients together and then mix with wet ingredients.

Bake @ 325 for 40-50 minutes.

Cookie Salad

2 c. Buttermilk
2 small packages vanilla instant pudding
1 small container cool whip
2 cans pineapple tidbits
2 cans mandarin oranges
1 package striped chocolate cookies (keebler)

Drain Pineapple and oranges REALLY well. In a bowl mix buttermilk and the instant pudding until smooth. Add cool whip and put in refrigerator until set. Before serving crumble cookies and mix into the salad. ENJOY! (it's not near as good when the cookies get soft, but still tasty) This is always a hit. People ask what the crunchies are and get really surprised when it's cookies. It's a fun Summer Salad.

Best Truffles EVER *Lauren Perry*

This is so easy and so tasty, its ridiculous! I found this recipe and modified it slightly

Ingredients

1 package of Oreo cookies
1 package of cream cheese
2 white chocolate baking bars (you could use milk or dark- but its AMAZING with white)
OPTIONAL- 1 small can of sweetened condensed milk (you will only use a few TBS out of the can)

Throw Oreo's (the WHOLE package), cream cheese and 1-2 tbs of sweetened condensed milk into a mixer- and mix until it almost looks like a paste (some chunks are fine and actually preferred)

Roll the Oreo truffle mix into little 1 inch balls and set them on a baking sheet covered with wax paper.

Once you roll all of the balls- heat white chocolate and 2 TBS of sweetened condensed milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds and mix with spoon until melted and smooth.

Dip each truffle into white chocolate (this can get a little messy, so you can drizzle extra white chocolate on the truffles when they are back on the baking sheet)

Refrigerate for AT LEAST an hour- and serve!

These are so delicious, I can't even begin to describe them. You can put a few on plates and take them to neighbors and they will love you forever.
