I know I look strange, but dig right in.... The flowers are fake but the dirt is cake. I don't need water or tender loving care, Just eat my dirt 'til my pot is bare.

i tried making this for the first time this new year eve. it went over really big, but it seemed to be too thick. i don't know if i beat it too long or what. But you live and learn. the bottom line is EVERY ONE enjoyed it very much.

This dessert is a big hit at ladies' functions especially bridal and wedding showers. I really enjoy making it in warm weather as it is very cool and refreshing.

I often enjoyed making this recipe. Quick, easy and presentation can make it the most interesting dish at the table. Someone once put this in a beautiful (new) metal pail with some silk flowers and (new) small gardening shovels to serve. No one even knew it was edible, so make sure you let people know this is FOOD!

This is also fun with gummy worms in it. My granddaughter loves it!

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
