Freezer Alfredo Sauce - Easy and YUMMY!
This is the BEST (and easiest) alfredo sauce I've ever made! Oh, and I added fresh basil from our garden when cooking it initially. When I was ready to make it for dinner, I defrosted it in the microwave, added fresh broccoli to it, popped it in the crock pot and cooked on low all afternoon. I poured it over penne later that night and it was a complete "hit" in our house! It was SOOOOO good & easy. It even reheated well in the microwave on leftover night! Enjoy!
~ Lisa
Freezer Alfredo Sauce
1 package cream cheese -- 8 oz
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
Mix cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and margarine, heating slowly, stirring frequently until smooth. Add milk to thin until desired consistency for your pasta. This sauce freezes very well. I make double or triple batches and freeze it for later use.

Tomb Biscuits
You take a can of refrigerator biscuits...you know the kind that POP open when
you pull the paper, mini marshmallows, butter and cinnamon/sugar mix.
You pat out the biscuit fairly flat and lay a marshmallow in the middle. The
marshmallow is Jesus after the crucifixion and you place him in the "tomb" which
is the biscuit. You place a little butter and cinnamon sugar on the
marshmallow. These represent the myrrh and aloes Nicodemus put on Jesus when
he wrapped him. Then you fold the biscuit over the marshmallow which is closing
the tomb. You bake them in the oven according to basic directions on
package...just watch them. Let them cool slightly and then you open the tomb
and VIOLA! Jesus is gone! because the marshmallow melted.
My students were always impressed how Jesus rose from the dead when they got
to see this happen "in person" so to speak.

Tomb Cake
Again, from the Above Rubies Yahoo Group!
~ Lisa
Tomb Cake
1 bundt cake---can be homemade or store-bought---just
make sure there is a hole in the middle.
coconut--died green w/ food coloring
crushed oreos
1 large peppermint pattie (york)
2 cans of chocolate icing
3 crosses--can be homemade from chocolate, popsicle
sticks--anything.
icing to write with
small icing flowers if you want to decorate the
hill--get the store bought kind in the b-day section
of the grocery store.
strip of white cloth with--"He is risen, He is risen
indeed!" written on it or another bible verse.
Directions:
Cut cake in half, but make sure that one half is
slightly smaller than the other. Take the larger half
and set it on your cake plate toward the front. Take
your smaller half and set it right behind it. They
should both look like an upside down u. This is your
hill and the bigger hole in the front is the entrance
to your tomb.
You can use icing to cover the back
hole. Ice your cake with chocolate icing ---or
whichever kind you want. take your coconut and spread
it around the base to make the grass that is around
your tomb.
Write HE IS RISEN on the front of your cake
and place your 3 crosses on top. Take your Oreo crumbs
and put them in front of the entrance to your
tomb--this will be your path.
Put the fabric strip
inside--this is the burial cloth. You can take the
icing flowers and stick them on the side and back of
the tomb. The Peppermint Pattie is placed to the side,
stuck to the icing--the stone is rolled away

Resurrection Day Cookies
I got this from the Above Rubies Yahoo Group! These are great ideas!
~ Lisa
To be made the evening before Resurrection Sunday...
Resurrection Day Cookies
To be made the evening before Resurrection Sunday...
1cup whole pecans
1tsp vinegar
3 egg whites
pinch salt
1 cup sugar
zipper baggie
wooden spoon
tape
Bible
Preheat oven to 300 degrees (this is important, don't wait till you're half done
with the recipe!)
Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon
to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was
Beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read John 19:1-3.
Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1tsp vinegar into mixing bowl. Explain
that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink. Read
John 19:28-30.
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His
life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11.
Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the
rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus'
followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.
So far, the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar.
Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves
us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16.
Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are
formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of
those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.
Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheet.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid.
Read Matthew 27:57-60.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF. Give
each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus' tomb was
sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66.
GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven
overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read
John 16:20 and 22.
On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked
surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus'
followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Matthew 28:1-9.
