The Farm Girl Recipes: Fruit Pizza

So today I was walking around and wham!! it hits me, this healthy food thing is really no fun!!!

I'm serious. I have been trying to be so healthy (you know the cruise thing and that little swimsuit) and stay away from tempting things but, it's so hard (said like a whiny 3 year old).

Why does eating "healthy" have to be so unfun sometimes (I know that's not a word but it sounded fun to say)...anyway, why can't that squash taste like this fruit pizza, huh?!?!!!? If it did I would eat a lot of it and I bet you would too. Am I right?

Then my neighbor brings me these little chocolate, peanut butter, pretzel things (I promise I will get the recipe and share) and how does a food blogger stay away from those? I mean I have to try them to see if I need to make them and give them to all of you. I "need" to see if they are good--and let me tell you, they are to die for!!!

So after a great Sunday and being good those peanut butter things just ruined it all!! So in honor of new years resolutions getting slightly off track, I hope you enjoy this fruit pizza. It is delicious and much better for you than those peanut butter things, I promise--even though that recipe will be coming. I'm just warning you, be prepared, you don't want to be tempted!

1 recipe of sugar cookie dough as follows: ( I make my own but you can just buy some also)

1/2 c. butter, softened

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

1/2 c. sour cream

3/4 t. almond extract (vanilla works great too)

3 1/2 c. all purpose flour

1 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 small containers strawberry cream cheese spread, softened

Fruit (I used kiwis, mandarin oranges, bananas, and blackberries. You can also try raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, etc.)

1. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, (a kitchenaid or bosch works great also) beat butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Beat in sour cream and almond. Add dry ingredients and beat until well mixed. Lay out on saran wrap and cover completely. Chill for 1 hour.

2. After dough is chilled, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out cookie dough onto your greased cooking surface (I used my round pizza stone) until 1/4' thick. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until center is firm to touch. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
