Melt the white chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Allow white chocolate to cool to the touch. Beat the cream cheese until smooth & add the melted white chocolate. Add the white chocolate mixture to the whipped cream until just combined and then carefully fold in the raspberries. Scoop the mousse with an ice cream scoop into your favorite dishes or ramekins.

Fruit Tart
Duncan Hines Sugar Cookie Mix, prepared & cooked as instructed.
12oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
Frozen strawberries, raspberries and/or blueberries
fresh mint, optional
whipped cream, optional
*The night before, or a few hours before getting ready to make this recipe, take the frozen berries, add 1 cup of sugar, stir, cover and place back into your refrigerator until ready, about 3 hours minimum.
Prepare the box of sugar cookie mix as instructed, spreading across a cookie sheet & bake also as instructed. In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese & sugar. Beat until combined. Take the cream cheese mixture and spread over the cooled cookie crust, making sure to go from edge to edge, only leaving a small amount of crust.
Using a slotted spoon, drain berries and place on top of the cream cheese mixture. Spread out evenly! Top with whipped cream & mint if you choose to. Enjoy!
Stuffed Pepper Soup
16 oz diced tomatoes
32 oz chicken broth
4 cups peppers & onions, diced (frozen)
1lb ground beef
2 cups mixed veggies (frozen)
1 1/2 cups white rice
This recipe gives a lot of wiggle room to tailor it to your families palettes. The Abbott's prefer a very hearty soup with less broth, if you like it lighter, feel free to use less of the vegetables!
Brown the ground beef in your crockpot, or sauce pot on medium. Add the diced tomatoes & stir. Add the peppers & onions & mixed vegetables & stir well. Add the broth. Cover & cook on low for an hour. Meanwhile, cook the rice as directed. After an hour, add the rice in & serve! Enjoy with shredded cheddar if you prefer or on it's own.

Abbott's Strawberry Shortcake
1 Package Abbott's Strawberry Shortcake Mix, prepared as directed.
3 cups frozen or fresh strawberries
1/4 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark or white)
1/2 cup sugar
Your favorite flavor of Gifford's ice cream, optional
Whipped Cream, optional
Mint, optional
Prepare the Abbott's Strawberry Shortcake mix as directed. Take your strawberries and add them to a small-medium sized sauce pot and add the sugar. Cook on medium heat until strawberries reduce into a liquid, about 10 minutes with frequent stirring. Sauce will be very thin and will thicken over time. Add the chocolate into the pot and stir until melted.
Slice the biscuit in half horizontally, and spoon strawberry mixture over.
Top with ice cream, whipped cream, whatever you choose! Yum!

Nancy Abbott's Famous Apple Crisp
5 of your favorite baking apple, Ruby Frost or Honeycrisp is what we recommend
2 sticks of butter, softened
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
Your favorite Gifford's Ice Cream, optional
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Using an apple slicer, slice all of the apples, removing the core. We do not peel our apples for the added texture, but you may if you like a softer, more consistent texture. Slice the apples into smaller pieces if you choose. Add to a 9x13 baking dish, pour half of the sugar over the apples. Sprinkle all of the cinnamon over the apples. Mix in the pan to coat all of the apples with the cinnamon and sugar. Add the rest of the sugar into a bowl with the butter. Add the brown sugar & oats as well. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the sugar and oat mixture until a consistent crumb is created. You may also use your hands/fingers if it is easier. Sprinkle on top of the apples. Bake the apples at 375 uncovered for 30 minutes or until apples are softened and the topping has browned. Serve with ice cream! Yum! Enjoy!

Gifford's Ice Cream, optional
In a 9x13in pan, add the sliced & peeled apples to make an even layer. In a medium
sized bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, butter, egg, & water. Mix until combined. Pour mixture over the top of the honeycrisp apples evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool for a few moments and scoop into ramekins or a plate. Add your whipped cream or ice cream & enjoy!
Blueberry Crumb Bars
3 cups all-purpose flour (spoon and level)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
Filling
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Quart/4 Cups fresh blueberries, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish (also line with parchment and butter parchment if you'd like to lift them out easier), set aside.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and vanilla until combine. Add egg mixture and cold butter cubes to flour mixture and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut mixture together until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press 1/2 of the mixture evenly into prepared baking dish. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cornstarch, stir in lemon juice. Add blueberries then toss mixture to evenly coat, pour and spread coated blueberries evenly over crust in baking dish. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over berry layer. Bake in preheated oven about 38 - 42 minutes until top is golden brown. Allow to cool for about 20 - 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Store cooled bars in an airtight container in refrigerator (rewarm in microwave for 10 - 15 seconds if desired).
