Orange Jello Salad
Serves 6
8 oz cool whip
4 oz box orange jello
1 pint cottage cheese
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 Drain pineapple and oranges for about 15 minutes. Put in mixing bowl.
2 Sprinkle on small box of jello. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
3 Fold in the cottage cheese and then the cool whip. Allow to chill for a couple hours before serving.
(You can use different flavor of jello and adjust the fruit used but always use the crushed pineapple. I like raspberry and also strawberry banana for a change. You could put bananas in the orange one too but don't stir in bananas until time to serve.)

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Serves 8
1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
1 ½ Tbsp white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
1-1/2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup white sugar
1-1/2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a pie tin.
2 In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
3 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
4 In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
5 Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
